Cadillac revela el proyecto GTP Hypercar

El proyecto GTP Hypercar muestra el diseño del auto de carreras IMSA y WEC 2023

Cadillac reveló hoy el Proyecto GTP Hypercar que presenta una vista previa del prototipo de auto de carreras de tercera generación de la marca de lujo estadounidense. En 2023, Cadillac competirá en el Campeonato IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar y el Campeonato Mundial de Resistencia de la FIA, incluidas las 24 Horas de Le Mans.

“Cadillac volverá a competir en el escenario mundial de las carreras y todos estamos encantados de volver a Le Mans después de 20 años”, dijo el vicepresidente global de Cadillac, Rory Harvey. “Al competir en los campeonatos IMSA y WEC de 2023, Cadillac Racing tiene la oportunidad de demostrar su capacidad, artesanía y tecnología”.

Codesarrollado por Cadillac Design, Cadillac Racing y Dallara, el Project GTP Hypercar incorpora características clave de diseño de marca. Los elementos del legado de la marca, como la iluminación vertical y las aspas flotantes, están presentes en todas partes y conectan el Project GTP Hypercar con el futuro de Cadillac.


“El Project GTP Hypercar es una convergencia única de forma y función y muestra la estética de desempeño futuro de Cadillac”, dijo Chris Mikalauskas, diseñador creativo principal de exteriores de Cadillac. “Tenemos mucho más por venir, desde el próximo auto de carrera hasta increíbles vehículos de producción”.

Desde 2017, Cadillac ha estado compitiendo a la vanguardia de las carreras de autos deportivos estadounidenses en el campeonato de fabricantes IMSA logrando numerosas victorias, podios y campeonatos en el Cadillac DPi-VR.

“Competir por la victoria general en Le Mans con una marca estadounidense icónica como Cadillac es un honor”, ​​dijo Laura Wontrop Klauser, gerente del programa de carreras de autos deportivos de GM. “Todo el equipo está emocionado de continuar construyendo el legado de carreras de Cadillac compitiendo contra los mejores a nivel internacional y en la carrera más dura del mundo”.

El nuevo auto de carreras estará propulsado por un motor DOHC V-8 de 5.5L completamente nuevo que se combinará con el sistema híbrido común LMDh.

El compromiso de Cadillac con el rendimiento se materializa en la cartera de la Serie V. Su expansión reciente incluye los sedán deportivos CT4-V y CT5-V, Escalade-V, así como el CT4-V Blackwing1 y el CT5-V Blackwing1 con capacidad para pista.

El auto de carreras comenzará las pruebas en la pista este verano y la primera carrera en la Rolex 24 en Daytona en 2023.

Milán, 13 de septiembre de 2022 – El Museo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología de Italia en el centro de Milán es el lugar para el debut oficial del nuevo Pagani Hypercar, el vehículo que escribirá el tercer capítulo en la historia de la marca, con el título: Pagani Utopia. En el espléndido marco de la Sala del Cenacolo, rodeada de dibujos originales de Leonardo da Vinci, la última creación del taller de Módena diseñada por Horacio Pagani encarna una visión utópica y visionaria del automovilismo, un concepto no convencional separado románticamente del significado contemporáneo de automóvil. Y lo hace en el más puro espíritu Pagani, donde el elemento rector que sustenta los coches de la compañía siempre ha sido el principio de Arte y Ciencia de Leonardo.

No se podría haber elegido un lugar mejor para presentar a la recién llegada: Milán, la ciudad cosmopolita que fue el hogar del artista, y el Museo que alberga las Galerías Leonardo, la exposición permanente más grande del mundo sobre Leonardo da Vinci, ingeniero, humanista y estudioso de la naturaleza.

“A la entrada del Museo, el visitante es recibido por una frase de profundo significado: Scienza è Cultura – La ciencia es cultura. La expresión representa la esencia misma del Museo como lugar dedicado a Leonardo da Vinci y, como el propio artista, condensa las interrelaciones entre diferentes pero complementarias ramas del saber que, juntas, ayudan a comprender la realidad. Este diálogo entre arte, ciencia y tecnología es un rasgo distintivo de la identidad del Museo. Además, el descubrimiento y la invención que nunca dejan de sorprendernos se combinan con la capacidad fundamental de diseñar y construir, dando así un valor concreto al ingenio humano”, dice Fiorenzo Galli, Gerente General del Museo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología.

Reforzar los lazos entre el diseño de Pagani Hypercars y Leonardo da Vinci es un préstamo excepcional de la Biblioteca Ambrosiana, que, para la presentación del nuevo coche, ha concedido permiso para que seis dibujos originales de los estudios de Leonardo sobre el aire, salgan de sus bóvedas en una base temporal para la exposición “La forma del aire: de Leonardo a Pagani Utopía”.

Comisariada por Pagani Automobili y Pietro C. Marani, un destacado experto en Leonardo da Vinci y autor de numerosos libros sobre el artista toscano, la exposición ofrece a los visitantes la oportunidad de una exploración dual. Por un lado, el asombroso genio de un hombre con la capacidad -hace seis siglos- de representar hasta lo invisible, plasmado en una colección de hojas del Codex Atlanticus sobre el estudio del aire y sus aplicaciones; por otro, el pensamiento que llevó al diseñador Horacio Pagani y su equipo a concebir el proyecto Utopía. Una visión binaria de forma y función.

“La presentación de nuestro nuevo automóvil en el marco extraordinario del Museo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología de Milán tiene un significado especial”, dice Horacio Pagani. “Leonardo fue muy creativo aquí en Milán, donde disfrutó de un período maravilloso. Ha sido una gran influencia en mi vida desde que era un niño, es la inspiración de los conceptos fundamentales de Arte y Ciencia que guían nuestro trabajo. Así que estar en el museo que lleva su nombre y tener sus dibujos originales al lado de nuestro auto es una emoción verdaderamente indescriptible para mí”.

Los visitantes podrán rastrear la génesis del proyecto Pagani Utopia en una serie de paneles especiales: desde las fuentes de inspiración hasta los primeros bocetos del automóvil, la paleta de colores y los materiales utilizados, condensados ​​en un moodboard tridimensional. La ruta creativa llega a su punto culminante en la Sala del Cenacolo para ver de cerca el nuevo Pagani Hypercar. Desde el exterior, una carrocería de líneas suaves y elegantes construida en materiales compuestos de alta tecnología; en el interior, el poderoso corazón del motor Pagani V12.

Los seis dibujos originales de Da Vinci seleccionados por Marani proporcionan el marco ideal para la nueva Utopía de Pagani. Seis obras que ponen de manifiesto cómo el artista supo representar lo invisible, plasmar “la existencia de la nada”, esa infinita extensión intersticial que envuelve todos los cuerpos, en contacto con el aire. Junto con el agua, el aire es uno de los cuatro elementos (incluidos la tierra y el fuego) que más intrigaron a Leonardo, cuyos movimientos y manifestaciones se esforzó en retratar.

“Un hilo conecta las observaciones de Leonardo y sus conocimientos sobre aerodinámica con las creaciones de Horacio Pagani”, comenta Pietro C. Marani. “Es como si el diseñador finalmente hubiera dado forma concreta a lo que Leonardo simplemente intuyó sobre la forma en que el aire ‘forja’ y esculpe formas, que se puede ver, por ejemplo, en los dos dibujos de fortalezas de la exposición”.

La exposición se enriquece con una sección titulada “Historia de un sueño”, la aventura del joven Horacio Pagani que llegó a Módena desde Argentina con una ambición: crear los autos más bellos del mundo. Los invitados podrán juzgar por sí mismos si ese sueño se hizo realidad: en los claustros, junto con el nuevo Pagani Utopia, se exhibirán dos modelos históricos -el Zonda C12 (1999) y el Huayra Coupé (2011)- para contar la historia de una marca que pronto celebrará su 25 aniversario.

El acompañamiento musical de la exposición es una interesante obra sinfónica escrita por el Conservatorio de Milán a partir de las composiciones para piano del joven Horacio Pagani, que ahora es la banda sonora de la nueva Utopía de Pagani.

Milan, 13 September 2022 – Italy’s National Science & Technology Museum in central Milan is the venue for the official debut of the new Pagani Hypercar, the vehicle that will write the third chapter in the brand’s history, with the title: Pagani Utopia. In the splendid setting of the Sala del Cenacolo refectory hall, surrounded by original drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, the Modena-based atelier’s latest creation designed by Horacio Pagani embodies a visionary utopian idea of motoring, an unconventional concept romantically detached from the contemporary meaning of automobile. And it does so in the purest Pagani spirit, where the guiding element underpinning the company’s cars has always been Leonardo’s principle of Art and Science.

No better location could have been chosen to present the new arrival: Milan, the cosmopolitan city that was home to the artist, and the Museum that houses the Leonardo Galleries, the world’s largest permanent exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci – engineer, humanist and scholar of nature.

At the entrance to the Museum, the visitor is welcomed by a phrase with a profound significance: Scienza è Cultura – Science is Culture. The expression represents the very essence of the Museum as a place dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci and, like the artist himself, condenses the interrelations between different but complementary branches of knowledge, which, together, help us understand reality. This dialogue between art, science and technology is a distinguishing feature of the Museum’s identity. Furthermore, the discovery and invention that never cease to surprise us are combined with the fundamental ability to design and build, thus giving concrete value to human ingenuity,” says Fiorenzo Galli, General Manager of the National Science & Technology Museum.

Enhancing the ties between the design of Pagani Hypercars and Leonardo da Vinci is an exceptional loan from the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, which, for the presentation of the new car, has granted permission for six original drawings of Leonardo’s studies on air, to leave its vaults on a temporary basis for the exhibition “The shape of air: from Leonardo to Pagani Utopia”.

Curated by Pagani Automobili and Pietro C. Marani, a leading expert on Leonardo da Vinci and author of numerous books about the Tuscan artist, the exhibition offers visitors the opportunity for dual exploration. On one hand, the astonishing genius of a man with the ability – six centuries ago – to represent even the invisible, displayed in a collection of leaves from the Codex Atlanticus on the study of air and its applications; on the other, the thinking that led designer Horacio Pagani and his team to conceive the Utopia project.  A binary vision of form and function.

“The presentation of our new car in the extraordinary setting of the National Science & Technology Museum in Milan has a special significance,” says Horacio Pagani. “Leonardo was very creative here in Milan, where he enjoyed a wonderful period. He has been a huge influence in my life since I was a boy, he is the inspiration for the fundamental concepts of Art and Science that guide our work. So to be in the museum that bears his name and to have his original drawings next to our car is a truly indescribable emotion for me.”

Visitors will be able to trace the genesis of the Pagani Utopia project on a series of special panels: from the sources of inspiration to the first sketches of the car, the colour palette and the materials used, condensed in a three-dimensional moodboard. The creative route reaches its culmination in the Sala del Cenacolo for a close-up look at the new Pagani Hypercar. From the outside, a body with soft, elegant lines built in hi-tech composite materials; inside, the powerful heart of the Pagani V12 engine.

Providing the ideal frame for the new Pagani Utopia are the six original Da Vinci drawings selected by Marani. Six works that highlight how the artist was able to represent the invisible, to depict “the existence of nothingness”, that infinite interstitial extension that surrounds all bodies, in contact with the air. Together with water, air is one of the four elements (including earth and fire) that most intrigued Leonardo, whose movements and manifestations he strove to portray.

“A thread links Leonardo’s observations and his insights into aerodynamics with the creations of Horacio Pagani,” comments Pietro C. Marani. “It’s as if the designer had finally given concrete shape to what Leonardo simply intuited about the way the air ‘forges’ and sculpts forms, which you can see, for example, in the two drawings of fortresses in the exhibition.” 

The exhibizion is enhanced with a section entitled “Story of a Dream”, the adventure of the young Horacio Pagani who came to Modena from Argentina with an ambition: to create the most beautiful cars in the world. Guests will be able to judge for themselves whether that dream came true: in the cloisters, together with the new Pagani Utopia, two historic models will be on display – the Zonda C12 (1999) and the Huayra Coupé (2011) – to tell the story of a brand that will soon be celebrating its 25th anniversary.

The musical accompaniment to the exhibition is an interesting symphonic work written by the Milan Conservatory starting from the compositions for piano of the young Horacio Pagani, which is now the soundtrack of the new Pagani Utopia.

And it does so in the purest Pagani spirit, where the guiding element underpinning the company’s cars has always been Leonardo’s principle of Art and Science.

No better location could have been chosen to present the new arrival: Milan, the cosmopolitan city that was home to the artist, and the Museum that houses the Leonardo Galleries, the world’s largest permanent exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci – engineer, humanist and scholar of nature.

At the entrance to the Museum, the visitor is welcomed by a phrase with a profound significance: Scienza è Cultura – Science is Culture. The expression represents the very essence of the Museum as a place dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci and, like the artist himself, condenses the interrelations between different but complementary branches of knowledge, which, together, help us understand reality. This dialogue between art, science and technology is a distinguishing feature of the Museum’s identity. Furthermore, the discovery and invention that never cease to surprise us are combined with the fundamental ability to design and build, thus giving concrete value to human ingenuity,” says Fiorenzo Galli, General Manager of the National Science & Technology Museum.

Enhancing the ties between the design of Pagani Hypercars and Leonardo da Vinci is an exceptional loan from the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, which, for the presentation of the new car, has granted permission for six original drawings of Leonardo’s studies on air, to leave its vaults on a temporary basis for the exhibition “The shape of air: from Leonardo to Pagani Utopia”.

Curated by Pagani Automobili and Pietro C. Marani, a leading expert on Leonardo da Vinci and author of numerous books about the Tuscan artist, the exhibition offers visitors the opportunity for dual exploration. On one hand, the astonishing genius of a man with the ability – six centuries ago – to represent even the invisible, displayed in a collection of leaves from the Codex Atlanticus on the study of air and its applications; on the other, the thinking that led designer Horacio Pagani and his team to conceive the Utopia project.  A binary vision of form and function.

“The presentation of our new car in the extraordinary setting of the National Science & Technology Museum in Milan has a special significance,” says Horacio Pagani. “Leonardo was very creative here in Milan, where he enjoyed a wonderful period. He has been a huge influence in my life since I was a boy, he is the inspiration for the fundamental concepts of Art and Science that guide our work. So to be in the museum that bears his name and to have his original drawings next to our car is a truly indescribable emotion for me.”

Visitors will be able to trace the genesis of the Pagani Utopia project on a series of special panels: from the sources of inspiration to the first sketches of the car, the colour palette and the materials used, condensed in a three-dimensional moodboard. The creative route reaches its culmination in the Sala del Cenacolo for a close-up look at the new Pagani Hypercar. From the outside, a body with soft, elegant lines built in hi-tech composite materials; inside, the powerful heart of the Pagani V12 engine.

Providing the ideal frame for the new Pagani Utopia are the six original Da Vinci drawings selected by Marani. Six works that highlight how the artist was able to represent the invisible, to depict “the existence of nothingness”, that infinite interstitial extension that surrounds all bodies, in contact with the air. Together with water, air is one of the four elements (including earth and fire) that most intrigued Leonardo, whose movements and manifestations he strove to portray.

“A thread links Leonardo’s observations and his insights into aerodynamics with the creations of Horacio Pagani,” comments Pietro C. Marani. “It’s as if the designer had finally given concrete shape to what Leonardo simply intuited about the way the air ‘forges’ and sculpts forms, which you can see, for example, in the two drawings of fortresses in the exhibition.” 

The exhibizion is enhanced with a section entitled “Story of a Dream”, the adventure of the young Horacio Pagani who came to Modena from Argentina with an ambition: to create the most beautiful cars in the world. Guests will be able to judge for themselves whether that dream came true: in the cloisters, together with the new Pagani Utopia, two historic models will be on display – the Zonda C12 (1999) and the Huayra Coupé (2011) – to tell the story of a brand that will soon be celebrating its 25th anniversary.

The musical accompaniment to the exhibition is an interesting symphonic work written by the Milan Conservatory starting from the compositions for piano of the young Horacio Pagani, which is now the soundtrack of the new Pagani Utopia.

  • Oportunidad de propiedad exclusiva con solo 27 unidades planeadas para la venta

10 de agosto de 2022 – Circuito de Donington Park, Reino Unido:  Esta semana, el fabricante neozelandés de automóviles de alto rendimiento Rodin Cars ha anunciado que su nuevo hipercoche de pista, el Rodin FZERO, está entrando oficialmente en producción.

Tres años después de que se revelara por primera vez como la próxima aventura de Rodin, la compañía con visión de futuro ha publicado más detalles de producción de FZERO, incluidas algunas especificaciones impresionantes, una fecha de lanzamiento y la presentación pública de los principales componentes completos del vehículo en su sala de exhibición de Donington Park.

El automóvil más ambicioso y esperado de Rodin hasta el momento, el FZERO continúa donde lo dejó el modelo anterior, el FZED. Donde el propósito del FZED es brindar una experiencia de conducción alineada con estar detrás del volante de un automóvil de Fórmula Uno moderno, el FZERO da un paso más allá, con el objetivo de ser lo último en rendimiento en la pista, mucho más allá de lo que se ha visto antes.

Construir un automóvil sin las restricciones de las leyes viales o las regulaciones de las series de carreras significa que puede desarrollarse sin límites, lo que permite un rendimiento que de otro modo sería inalcanzable. El único objetivo del Rodin FZERO es ser el coche más rápido en circuito, sin excepción.

“El Rodin FZERO es la representación física de las alturas máximas en rendimiento de vehículos. Sin las restricciones de construir según un conjunto de reglas, podemos hacer que el automóvil sea más liviano, más potente y produzca una carga aerodinámica significativamente mayor. Las únicas restricciones reales a las que nos enfrentamos son las leyes de la física, e incluso las hemos llevado al límite absoluto. Esperamos llevar la experiencia de conducción más intensa que se pueda concebir a las pistas de todo el mundo”.
David Dicker, fundador de Rodin Cars

El Rodin FZERO estará disponible para los clientes en una configuración de su elección, lo que les permitirá personalizar aspectos específicos del automóvil en función de su estilo de conducción y la pista en la que lo utilizarán. Además, los propietarios de Rodin reciben acceso a servicios personalizados de ropa de carreras, almacenamiento y entrega de vehículos, y capacitación completa para conductores en las pintorescas pistas de carreras privadas de Rodin.

Con sede en Nueva Zelanda, David Dicker ha creado Rodin Cars desde cero, lo que ha dado como resultado posiblemente la instalación de fabricación de vehículos más exclusiva y técnicamente avanzada del mundo. Ubicado en una propiedad remota de 550 hectáreas en la Isla Sur, a la sombra de una cadena montañosa irregular, el sitio impresionante, completo con una planta de fabricación, instalaciones de construcción, recursos de impresión 3D líderes en el mundo y tres pistas de prueba, ciertamente tiene las credenciales. para lograr la visión de la compañía: construir el automóvil más rápido del mundo.

27 Rodin FZERO estarán disponibles para los compradores, y el primero saldrá de la línea de montaje en el verano del próximo año.

SOBRE LOS COCHES RODIN

Rodin Cars representa la visión de toda la vida del fundador, David Dicker.

Después de años de perfeccionar el diseño de un automóvil de pista de un solo asiento, el Rodin FZERO, el proyecto Rodin Cars autofinanciado se estableció oficialmente con una fuerza laboral de ingeniería de tiempo completo en 2016 en la Isla Sur de Nueva Zelanda.

El programa se expandió con la adquisición del programa Lotus T125 cercano a la madurez por parte de Dicker casi al mismo tiempo. Durante tres años, Rodin Cars ha perfeccionado el concepto de vehículos abiertos. Hoy, ese vehículo ha sido reinventado, rediseñado y rediseñado en el Rodin FZED.

Su lanzamiento anuncia la introducción de una categoría completamente nueva en la conducción de alto rendimiento: un segmento dedicado a los autos de pista de ruedas abiertas de alto rendimiento.

El compromiso de Rodin Cars con la excelencia, el enfoque en la ingeniería de alta precisión y sus componentes de alto rendimiento hechos a mano se han desarrollado teniendo en cuenta las carreras puras.

Rodin Cars es un constructor de automóviles emergente de alta tecnología y alto rendimiento que desarrolla los mejores autos de pista para los pilotos y corredores más serios del mundo.

El Rodin FZERO , que aún no se ha lanzado oficialmente, ha sido diseñado para dar vueltas en un circuito más rápido que un corredor de Gran Premio de Fórmula 1 actual. Con la ingeniería que cambia la industria incorporada en cada componente, se proyecta que el prototipo Rodin FZERO se complete a finales de este año.

10 August 2022 – Donington Park Circuit, UK: This week, New Zealand performance car manufacturer Rodin Cars has announced that their new track hypercar, The Rodin FZERO, is officially entering production.

Three years after it was first revealed as Rodin’s next venture, the forward-thinking company has released more FZERO production details, including some impressive specs, a release date and the public unveiling of major completed vehicle components at their Donington Park showroom.

Rodin’s most ambitious and eagerly anticipated car yet, the FZERO continues where the previous model, the FZED, left off. Where the purpose of the FZED is to deliver a driver experience aligned with being behind the wheel of a modern Formula One car, the FZERO takes that a leap further, aiming to be the ultimate in track performance, far beyond that of anything seen before.

Building a car without restrictions of road laws or race series regulations, means it can be developed with no limits, allowing for performance that would otherwise be unobtainable. The singular goal of the Rodin FZERO is to be the fastest car around track, without exception.

“The Rodin FZERO is the physical representation of the ultimate heights in vehicle performance. Without the restrictions of building to a set of rules, we are able to make the car lighter, more powerful, and produce significantly more downforce. The only real restrictions we face are the laws of physics, and we have even pushed those to the absolute limit. We look forward to bringing the most intense driving experience conceivable to tracks around the world.”
David Dicker, Founder of Rodin Cars

The Rodin FZERO will be available to customers in a configuration of their choice, allowing them to customize specific aspects of the car based on their driving style and the track on which they will be using it. In addition, Rodin owners receive access to custom racewear services, vehicle storage and delivery, and full driver training at Rodin’s picturesque private race tracks.

Based in New Zealand, David Dicker has crafted Rodin Cars from the ground up, resulting in possibly the most unique and technically advanced vehicle manufacturing facility in the world. Located on a remote 550-hectare property in the South Island, in the shadow of a jagged mountain range, the impressive site, complete with a manufacturing plant, build facility, world-leading 3D printing resources and three test tracks, certainly has the credentials to achieve the company’s vision – to build the fastest car on earth.

27 Rodin FZEROs will be available to buyers, with the first coming off the assembly line in the summer of next year.

ENGINE
Designed and developed from the ground up by Rodin Cars and in conjunction with famed engine manufacturer Neil Brown Engineering, the Rodin FZERO is powered by a revolutionary 4.0-litre V10 twin-turbo engine with the assistance of an electric power unit.

At just 132 kg, the engine named the RCTEN, is designed to be the lightest and most compact V10 ever built. A very impressive accomplishment given the engine hasn’t compromised on power, still producing a combined 1176 PS and 1026 Nm of torque. All whilst revving all the way up to 10,000 rpm.

DRIVETRAIN
A bespoke gearbox unit manufactured in conjunction with Ricardo UK gives the FZERO 8 gears whilst only adding just under 66kg. The gearbox is encased in a titanium 3D printed case, printed on site in Rodin Cars’ state-of-the-art 3D printing facility.

The differential is hydraulic, and computer controlled.

BRAKES, WHEELS AND TYRES
Weighing just 698kg, the FZERO is ultra-responsive to minimal braking force. However, the car has been equipped with front and rear 380mm PFC Carbon-Carbon brakes, with Titanium callipers (6-piston front and 4-piston rear). The braking system has both ABS and traction control.

Not just used for stopping the car, the brakes also offer regenerative braking from the hybrid system.

The wheels are a bespoke set of 18-inch forged magnesium rims, manufactured in conjunction with OZ Racing and produced to F1 standards. The rims are 18 x 14-inch at the front and 18” x 16-inch at the rear.

The tyres are a race-spec full-slick compound developed by Avon and can be changed depending on weather.

AERODYNAMICS
The massive wings and floor of the FZERO are capable of producing up to 4000kg of downforce, which when compared to the cars weight of just 698kg is impressive.

ABOUT RODIN CARS

Rodin Cars represents the life-long vision of founder, David Dicker.

After years of perfecting the design of a single-seat track car, the Rodin FZERO, the self-funded Rodin Cars project was officially established with a full-time engineering workforce in 2016 in the South Island of New Zealand.

The program expanded with the acquisition of the close-to-maturity Lotus T125 program by Dicker around the same time. For three years Rodin Cars has honed and perfected the open-wheeler concept. Today, that vehicle has been reimagined, redesigned and re-engineered into the Rodin FZED.

Its launch heralds the introduction of an all-new category in high-performance driving – a segment dedicated to high-performance open-wheel track cars.

Rodin Cars’ commitment to excellence, focus on high-precision engineering, and its hand-crafted, high-performance components have been developed with pure racing in mind.

Rodin Cars is an emerging high-technology, high-performance car constructor developing the ultimate track cars for the world’s most serious drivers and racers.

The yet-to-be officially released Rodin FZERO has been engineered to lap a circuit faster than a current Grand Prix Formula 1 racer. With industry-changing engineering being built into every component, the Rodin FZERO prototype is projected for completion later this year.
