| 950 Kg easy and 320 HP, the assembly takes place within three weeks of hand: The Roding Roadster is a serious competitor to Porsche & Co.. (Roding Automobile) |
Made possible by a body concept, as well as BMW in the electric vehicle i-series plans: chassis and engine hanging in frame with aluminum frames which are bolted to a fully baked carbon monocoque. The black carbon fiber shell includes more components than about the Lamborghini Aventador, weighs 120 pounds and makes the roadster loud Kulzer incredibly stiff and safe.
Six-cylinder, 320 hp and 450 Nm
Ride in the little more than four meters in length and not even waist deep flyer brings a six-cylinder BMW mounted on old traditions in the rear and of course drives only the rear wheels. Three liters it mobilizes 235 kW/320 hp, brings 450 Nm on the road and makes the Roding along with a crisp, tight six-speed transmission for pure fun grenade: With a coilover like a race car he is in the curves like the proverbial stone on the asphalt enables cornering speeds close to the limits of physics, and on the line, the Roadster is the rocket: 3.9 seconds him enough for 100 km, and anyone who has switched back at 140 cases and once throttle, believes the 285 km / h top unseen.
Surprisingly a lot of space
Because Kulzer and Co. but build not just a toy for sport riders, but also wanted to achieve a few connoisseurs, the Roding is not street-legal race car. One can at the wheel even a little feel good: for his good four feet of interior provides ausstaffierte with lots of leather and shiny aluminum roadster therefore surprising amount of space. Even with 1.90 meters bump head and knees to nowhere, the distance to the neighbors is morally acceptable, and who slipped deep enough into the narrow Recaro shells ducks, through well below the wind.
Closing with purism
Even at the baggage, the developers have thought more radically than many competitors: Front's are therefore not only a 330-liter boot, but also a Skiladeluke up in the center tunnel and a separate compartment for the two removable roof panels. Also save the newcomers not to features: GPS and e-window for example, are always on board and put an end to the purism that is known by many home-built race car.
The fun with perhaps the most radical roadsters of the Republic but you have to make some cost: 155,000 euros Roding demands for the 23 limited-edition series debut and has already sold the show debut in Geneva five cars. On the one hand, it's a lot of money for a sports car that is barely larger than an Audi TT and barely stronger than a Porsche Boxster. But it is a bargain for a carbon racer, who can compete with Mercedes SLS and Audi R8. Kulzer is therefore certain that the remaining copies are sold quickly: "At 60 serious candidates for 18 cars we'll have to worry about."
