Car Spotlight>> New Team Edlinger E30

I'm not sure if any of you remember the first spotlight I dedicated to this car ? Right after I featured the car I got a notice that the car had been burned beyond recognition. But this year Team Edlinger returned with a newly built E30 with the same engine and gearbox but with a new shell.

Underneath the car is pretty much the same as the old car but on the exterior a lot has changed.

The first thing I noticed is that they removed the canards at the front and rear. The arch extensions have also been molded onto the car to give a more smoother appearance. The vents that have been incorporated into the arches are there to increase downforce along with the biggest wing you will ever see.

Here is a better look at how wide the car has actually become. All parts are made from carbon including the massive rear diffuser.

The engine is still the same V8 that came from the Indy Racing League in the US. It is a 3.5 liter engine capable of 550ps at an astounding 10,700rpm. Considering the car only weighs 825kg, this will be a beast to drive.

The interior is still as clean as the first one. The dashboard has been altered and lightened. All the necessary numbers can been seen on the display mounted on the steering hub.

I can only imagine how this car would sound at WOT going uphill at one of the many Hillclimb events in Germany and Austria.

Very cool built for what is a very impressive racing series. Looking forward getting a glimpse of the car and especialy hearing it.

3

That front end is an aero nightmare :) Incredible build though.

4

Wow - what a beast, 10.700 rpm! jeeeez!

5

Looks so much better than what it use to.

6

Most radical E30 I've seen...

7

This thing is a real beast! Unfortunately, no videos of the car are available on the Internet till now.

8

Its a work of art. So clean and finished.Check out the led tail light sliver.

9

Holy freaking crap, will you look at that rear end, that's insane!

11

sometimes i think people are stealing my ideas, nice car. but my designs are better.

12

great to see variations of the E30. However, i question the safety of the steering wheel shaft unless of course it's collapsable.

14

Thats savage looks like a hot wheels car!

15

Blooody amazing!

16

I want those wheels... Sorry, I love 1 lug racing rims. Sharp looking car. That front end isn't going to help the aero performance any, but it's really light, and has a great drivetrain, so it probably drives better than my Honda. Haha.

amazing to see that you guys from speedhunters also get attention to little countrys like austria :)



actually, a good friend of mine was working on the buildup and i've seen the whole production progress...



sad that you don't have pics of the insane suspension setup...



greetings from austria! ;)

24

if you didnt say what car this was i would have had a hard job trying to guess its because of that mad as hell body, i wanna see this thing in action, i love hillclimbs!

25

i actually like the look of it.. not that i think it will cut thru the air effortlessly(?) but i love it.. i looks a bit sterile like it needs a few sessions on a track though.. "go on son, you go earn your battle scars.."

26
