The Supersport, spearheaded by 999 Motorsports, Thailand, centers on a tubular framework. Designed to meet the requirements of race circuits; structurally, the vehicle consists of a fiberglass body and dashboard all wrapping a spaceframe chassis, are the leading features of its cabin.



The sleek Supersport devised for racing, derives its power from a Ford Ecotec 2.0L 4-cyl Turbo, capable of generating 300bhp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The engine is centered in the middle and transmits power to its hind wheels through a uniquely devised five speed sequential transmission.



Though nothing official was stated about its speed and performance, the lightly weighted racing vehicle is expected to deliver a speedy show. With only nine hundred and fifty kilos of weight, the sleek and slender racing car has a long way to go in the racing arena.

since this is space frame chassis
better of make it like xbow or ariel atom

the bodyweight is just excess weight, don't think it's aerodynamics either
