(from Fornasari Press
Release) The RR 600 is the latest Fornasari SUV.
It's characterized from
the new LS2 Chevrolet engine 6.0 litres 8 V cylinders built under
our specifics, from an improved mechanical, from shorter gearbox
ratio and from a better power management.
The interiors have been
improved, now are more comfortable and wider thanks to the solutions
that increase the comfort inside. Preparations could have the
maximum grade of customization, according with Fornasari philosophy.
Both interior and exterior views are determined according to the
clients' taste. The line is clearly distinguished by that one of
RR450, both for the front and the back and the sides.
The steel piping chassis
in molybdenum-chrome assures an extraordinary lightness and
versatility. Suspensions, Proflex or Ohlins, have an independent oil
tank.
These characteristics
make the RR600 a car without competitors: its maximum speed arrives
to 280 km/h and have an acceleration 0-100 km/h in 4 seconds. Body
in carbon and Kevlar assures high resistance and great reliability.
The car, which weights
only 1700 kg, has two motorizations: 500-600 hp.
As far as the gearbox is
concerned, either the six-speed one or a 4 or 6-speed automatic one
is available.
There is the possibility
to choose more powerful engines on request.
The traction is integral
4WD. Power gets transmitted to the wheels in three different ways:
by a central viscous joint 38/62, standard 40/60, or with reduced
gears. Standard rims and tires are 20", but you can choose from 16"
(races) up to 23", according to the clients' taste and use..
DESIGN
The soft and plain lines
do not leave any space to stylistic frills, while aiming at an
extreme functionality to reply to any needs in the most exclusive
way.
The interior space and
mechanics play a key role, by shaping volumes and proportions so
that they slide swiftly in the air with no efforts.
The compact size (440 cm
length by 206 cm width and 164 cm height) makes the overall aspect
finer. The front makes no resistance to the wind, but enters between
invisible lines though a bonnet of over 4 square meters. A quite
high belt line does not avoid the full visibility from inside, while
the pavilion closes up behind passengers in a way that remarks the
power of the wheel-track.
The body is a 2-doors one, which makes it a real sports car. The
door width gets to 140cm in order to let people in and sit in the
back seats easily. This means that 5 people can feel comfortable in
the large space they find inside. The bonnet opens like the one of a
prototype for racing ready at the start of a 24h race. Wide as a
sail, it shows the mechanics: a mass of noble technological
materials like aluminium and carbon, all framed in light though very
strong chrome pipes.
INTERIORS
Interiors are in leather
and aluminium, with particulars sometimes recalling the past (as for
the ashtray inspired to the old fashioned deluxe cars) and
accessories being the result of the most advanced technology, like
satellite connection.
There are 5 large seats inside, with the back seat that can be
split. The loading capability is noteworthy for a car showing so
much of a sporting attitude without forgetting the undeniable needs
of modern life.
All that recalls of the genuine hand manufactured cars. That's why
we can find hand hammered and satin aluminium, hand-sewn seams in
the leather, pure woollen fitted carpet with leather borders, pedal
controls and other parts of the console crafted with care as unique
pieces.
Instruments are rounded in shape and the metallic pointers are hand
balanced, enriched by all those led lights so familiar to any
collectors. Beneath the classic style we find the most advanced
technology, as in the satellite alarm combined with the satellite
navigator system, linked to the multimedia tool. The car is also
furnished with a TV, a VTR player and a video camera for reverse
gear.
THE TOP OF CUSTOMIZATION
Customization is a must.
No colour range is taken for reference. Both interior and exterior
views are determined according to the clients' taste. The most
exclusive and even the most eccentric materials find their right
place. Also, no limits are given for the engine: either 450 or 600
horse power, with 6-speed or automatic gearbox, suspensions ready to
win the Dakar or the Grand Prix. Anything may be required and
everything can be satisfied: Formula breaks, hand-hammered body in
carbon or aluminium, and even 18" rims or the 23" dizzy 'rings',
which can be combined with tires for either desert sands or
high-speed circuits. Even the armour plating becomes peculiar on the
RR600. With such a set of size, weight and mechanical features, this
protection grants for the best safety solution with no diminishment
in the performance level.
MECHANICAL
The Size is important
for the whole car: a real maxi SUV. Desert wheel-tracks, an American
wheel-base, a remarkable height from the ground, a top-class maximum
travel of suspensions, ideal in/out angles, a feather-weight, power
distribution on both axes as for GT and load distribution near to
50/50. That's all what makes of this off-road vehicle the most
similar to a road vehicle in the world. Its small rolling and
pitching allow for smooth driving, while both the power and engine
elasticity let you forget to be inside a 5 seats' car. Power gets
transmitted to the wheels by means of a central viscous joint
releasing a 60% to the back limited-slip differential, while leaving
the 40% power left to balance the front differential. As far as the
gearbox is concerned, either the six-speed one or a 4-speed
automatic one is available. Also, it is possible to set on board a
version with reduced gears, but such a solution compels to a less
sportive scheme of transmission. Brakes come from GM, but a
possibility is given to choose the Brembo's ones. Alloy rims are, in
alternative, of 18" - 20" or even 23" size AND they host tyres from
the 285/55/18" up to the 305/35/23" ones.
THE CHASSIS
The car's skeleton
consists of a special steel piping chassis in molybdenum-chrome that
means a real space-frame in a 5 users' model adaptation. More than
450 pipelines go across in order to obtain stiffness and torsion
capability with a weight of less than 150 kg. The suspension
triangles are equal on the four sides and they are mechanical
jewels, with welding joints like those in Formula 1. The suspensions
travel of 240 mm has been studied so as not to affect or change in
any extent the geometrical configuration, as it had been set.
THE ENGINE
The heart consists of
the latest generation of engines by General Motors' as reviewed by
Fornasari in the U.S. under the specialist Mr. Cottrell. The result
is a light but reliable complex all built in aluminium. Sparing of
consumption, in compliance with law about gas emissions puts no
limits to power exploitation, which comes to be underlined by great
values of torque
