That is a beautiful bit of engineering, I wish there were more pictures of it. It looks expensive and does have suspension though, so it can not be categorised as a kart, more like a miniature race car. Wow, even the rear axle is done in Carbon Fibre, although it doesn’t appear to have a differential. Bet you it’s incredibly quick, being so light and having two engines.

I still say that a kart conforming to MSA/CIK regulations but with the chassis in Titanium or Carbon Fibre would gain little performance benefit. This is because the weight saving in the chassis would be lost when the kart was ballasted up to meet the minimum class weight.

Do you know of any more photos or information about it?
