This isn’t any regular FPV GT though, it’s an intercooled version of the GT, which is rumoured to be dubbed the GT-H.More pics via the link there.Standard durability testing in extreme cold or something more?

Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 7m 2d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 24/01/11 07:31 AM Share Posted 24/01/11 07:31 AM I've heard way back in the first development stages there were cars with 3 intercoolers being tested. One in the centre and one of each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkayne Member 203 Member For: 15y 10m 26d Gender: Male Posted 24/01/11 12:38 PM Share Posted 24/01/11 12:38 PM What's the benefit of having an intercooler to the side, compared to one dead-set in the middle? :o Wouldn't it have more airflow in the middle, assuming have more room, thus being bigger?

Are those brake vents?Don't know how beneficial those things would be for brake cooling. It's probably just a vent to let the air out from the intercooler as otherwise you wouldn't have a very good air flow and there would be a fair bit of preasure on the inner guard plastic.Where is bunna? In Sweden??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
