Hi everyone, this speedster below is my inspiration for my VX building.
Is it anyone on this forum who owns this speedster?

Does anyone have any info regarding this speedster, like engin spec, tire sizes?
Maybe someone knows about the lower side air intake, is for rear brake cooling or just for looks?

And the side mirrors, anyone knows where I can find them?

Is there already aninspiration thread for VXs or do you want to continue with more inspirations?!
VXs (Speedsters) or other car as inspiration for you VX (Speedster)

Belongs to a guy on here known as GFORCE8. There's a bit more about the car here and a further link that explains how he's lowered it's ears. Is a lovely example. http://www.vx220.org...55#entry1369355

The Speedster belongs to Herbert Schürg, former DTM pilot and owner of the 1997 round of record for street-legal cars on the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The mirrors are from a KTM motorcycle, not to acquire commercially.
