Rendered Speculation: Racer X Design RZ Formula
Click above for a high-res image gallery of the Racer X Design Formula RZ
The term "F1 car for the road" is as clichéd as "Darth Vader's new ride," but it's hard to look at the Racer X Design Formula RZ without drawing a comparison to open-wheeled track tools, along with the KTM X-Bow and K07 Spyder.
Racer X Design first appeared on our radar with the KC-427 Concept, a modern interpretation of the Cobra powered by a theoretical 6.4-liter V10. The Formula RZ takes a different tack, combing the attributes of the pioneering Ariel Atom and the aforementioned X-Bow and K07 with a customizable body – complete with removable nose cone and wing -- aimed at delivering a pure driving experience for a party of two.
The Formula RZ is simply a design study at the moment, so there's no mention of powerplants, gearboxes or curb weights, but that doesn't stop us from fantasizing about how the RZ would attack the track, and it shouldn't stop you from checking the renderings in the gallery below.

What do you get when you cross an Atom and an X-bow?

This must be built at all cost. You can never have too many track toys.

This... is... AWESOME. Forget the (guaranteed) expensive V10, if this is light enough, this would be fine with a BMW 3.0 Turbo engine.

This looks way better than any F1 car.
Chrysler, something to save yourselves from the economy.
