    I think he went somewhere down south or something.
    I'll try to ask around with the guys who've driven his cars in competition.

    Hi guys,

    Pwedeng Makigulo....

    Here's my 1985 concept called the ULTRAMAX which I have submitted to VOLVO in 1990 when I was applying there.

    VOLVO was interested at first but they thought I was a Japanese Industrial Spy who just tried to get inside their plant. So they turned down my apllication and advised me to do this project in the Philippines... and they swore not to copy it. But - I got their attention then. At any rate, the car designer whom I presented it was Otto - he is the designer of the Volvo dropnose sedan sold only in the Netherlands in 1993 onwards.

    I made this concept when I was still under the mentorship of Oby Mapua when we were busy designing HPV's (Human Powered Vehicles that goes over 60mph).



    THEORITICAL TOP SPEED: 320 kph
    DRIVETRAIN: Semi Automatic 15 speed (5 speed MT/ inducted gear over 4 speed AT)
    ENGINE: Volvo Penta or 4AGE EFi (Silver Top)
    COOLING SYSTEM: Primary and Secondary Radiators with sensor controlled side louvers air intake ducts.
    LUBRICATION: Treated Motor Oil
    WHEELS: 18" Speed Rated Tyres
    BODY CONSTRUCTION: Integrated Subframe/ Space Framed - Unitized SKins.
    BRAKES: 4 wheel ventilated disk brakes

    SPECIAL FEATURE: Cabin forward design, Fully Geometric Body construction, all flat surfaced glass windscreens, formula 1 config.

    Spin off from the CVT concept... 5 speed manual tranny with induction gear mated to a 3 speed Automatik. 5 x 3 = 15. The Induction Gear is the key.

    Hi guys....

    Here,s my latest sports car concept...

    The X-Racer... a.k.a. "I-WHEEL" as in....

    "I" referring to the first person... as in personal racing mobility... or Intelligent.

    This is a practical race car... since it is powered by a Hayabusa Big Bike Engine or a Honda 1000 big bike engine. If electric motor and Lithium Ion technology is not cost prohibitive, then it is best to go for that.

    In the meantime... the Big bike power is more than sufficient for Philippine Roads.... the 4 wheels are Z-Speed Rated big Bike Tyres and Mags.

    Suspension is Formula 1 style. with 4 gas shocks...

    Two racing seats from China is so dirt cheap... enough for creature comforts... but I guess it will be cheaper to make those racing seats locally... I think Almazora can do it also.... or KEL Seat.

    The vehicle stands just above 1 meter... A Drift Racer version can also be made utilizing a Camry engine... Longtitudinally configured in the mid section.

    All glass are plexi-glass....

    Body construction... fiberglass with subframe reinforcement...

    Pwede na ba for the Pinoy supercar entry?

    Superb, ehnriko! :thumbup:
    Original Pilipino Vehicle?
    What software did you use?

    I think wildthing's brief calls for 2 pax.
    Can you accommodate a second seat?

    *wildthing - what do you think? Kaya ba ito gawin out of FRP?

    thank you so much for the compliment sir Dprox! lumalaki tuloy ang puso ko...

    by the way... X-Racer or I-Wheel is actually a 2 seater.
