Pure Vision are bringing a great 1966 Mustang to SEMA this week. The late Mustang will be extremely light weight and feature all new running gear under the hood in an effort to make the ultimate racing car.
Pure Vision tell us “We have taken the Lotus approach to building this car which is “to add speed, add lightness”. So the car features weight savings everywhere possible. But, we have used parts and materials from our 60’s time period. Example- fiberglass instead of carbon fiber. A light car means it can use a small light engine to do the job and be able to overcome the affects of inertia and gravity better that a heavy car. The 300 lbs. engine is all aluminum with magnesium covers and oil pan. The CR Racing transmission weighs in at only 63 lbs. All side and rear glass have been exchanged with plexiglass and the window regulators and wing window frames have been removed. All body panels including bumpers, except the body shell and doors have been replaced with fiberglass.”
“Under the car is where we hide the modern technology. Gone is the old factory suspension, and in its place is the brand new complete suspension from Detroit Speed. This is coupled with Wilwood brakes and one-off rims from Evod Industries that resembles the 4 spoke wheel on the 60’s Indy cars.”
The interior is Spartan and set up for rally racing, complete with dash mounted timers, toggle and kill switches and a navigator’s foot pedestal.
The T-5R Mustang will make its debut this coming Tuesday October 30 at the SEMA show.
