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.

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