The Fornasary Racing Buggy is an extreme 2+2 SUV which combines design elements typical of concept cars with a versatile exterior : the removable roof, doors and boots can turn the car into a buggy-like "leisure" vehicle for summer time.

The official debut is scheduled for the next Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The base price will start at 80,000 Euros.

The original idea was to create new trends in the premium off-road market segments, by presenting something different, an extreme concept car ready for production.

This was made possible by Fornasari's position: being a small automaker, as Fornasari's Designer Shuai Feng explains: "we have the possibilities to do something that big automakers can not do."

The Racing Buggy was designed as a racing-inspired leisure vehicle: "in winter time, we keep it close to go to ski with our friends, then in summer time, we take off the roof, the doors, the boots, and go to the beach."

The exterior is offered with two-tone paintwork as a standard, with the main body in matt finish. Customers can choose among different materials for the exterior trims - alumium, carbon fiber and titanium.

The main dimensions a re a length 435 cm, a width of 200 cmand a height of 172 cm, with a wheelbase of 275 cm and a total weight of 1600 kg.

The structure is a custom built molybdenum-chrome tubular chassis which comprises more than 40 tubes and has a total weight under 150 kg. The suspension system adopts a double wishbone layout with welded joints, inspired from the Formula One cars.

The engine is a GM-derived 7.0 liter V8 unit which delivers 610 hp at 6,1000 rpm and 748 Nm at 5,100 rpm.

It can be coupled to either a manual or an automatic transmission, both with six speeds.

The all-wheel drive system adopts a Viscous Coupling center differential (60% rear, 40% front) and a Rear Dana44 Axle Assembly with Limited Slip at the rear.

The Racing Buggy can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds, and from 0 to 1,000 m in 23 seconds. The top speed is limited to 280 km/h.
