841hp 2 Door Evo
Amazing New Norris Design Demo Car
The MLR were recently invited to Norris Designs for an exclusive preview of their new demo car. There will be a full write up including an in-depth interview with Simon Norris in the next edition of Wastegate Chatter out on 1st October, but here's a brief rundown of the car and some pictures as the final build nears completion.
Exactly what the new Norris Designs demo car is has been the subject of much speculation and Simon's kept it a closely guarded secret whilst creating what is the most unique Evo ever seen.
Believing that the only way Evo performance can take a big step forward is with drastic weight loss, Norris Designs have built an Evo that should weigh in at just 1080kg. With a power to weight ratio of nearly 800bhp per ton it's almost 300bhp per ton more powerful than the old Norris Design Evo 7 demo car!!
To build an Evo this light has meant the car has undergone some major weight loss and incredible engineering, including a substantial amount of the bodyshell being removed to make the car shorter and lower. In fact it is 10inches shorter and 3inches lower than a standard Evo 9 shell. With the shell customised this much, the rear doors have been removed creating the world's first Short Wheelbase 2-Door Evo....
ND Evo 9 SWB - Basic Spec List:
Power
841Hp & 635LbFt (Klotz 118 Race Fuel)
Target weight 1080Kg (Dry)
Target top speed: 215 Mph+

Engine, Gearbox, ECU & Brakes

Brembo 8 pot metal matrix calipers front & rear
Body
Acid dipped custom 2 door short wheelbase low roof Evolution 9 shell
Custom T45 full weld in load bearing roll cage
Custom air jack tyre changing system
Interior/Exterior
Carbon everywhere!

Rep Power: 348 It was so that no one would try to get into the back seat because of the rollbars.
I think its ugly. Good paint job, horrible colors. Nice hood and front bumper, but the other parts look like they were just horribly misguided.

Rep Power: 332 front looks extremely aggressive, i like it. i agree on the color scheme, but how is it possible to shorten the wheel base? like without cutting the car in half and removing a section? The rear door isn't just shaved, that whole rear end has some weird frankenstein **** going on.

Or maybe because it shortens the wheel base fore better handling? I know... they must be super crazy to think of such a thing. Oh wait... maybe they did it to have a one off, super sick a$$ car. Great comment though

Great comment though Way to go n00b. The man was asking a question....either answer it respectfully or stfu. have a nice day.
WOW....i think if they painted the car black and got some european taillights it would look siiiick. The body work looks really well done...and i kinda like the 2 door effect. They just picked the wrong color. But who cares when u have that much power!! lol
