Zolfe Classic GTC4
Zolfe Orange, the latest
all new British sports car, is making its production debut at
Autosports 2009 on the Evo Magazine stand. Combining stunning good
looks with lightweight design, the Zolfe is set to challenge more
established competitors in this market sector. The front engined
rear wheel drive car will provide vice free handling and astonishing
performance. The fruits of a new collaboration between Midlands
business entrepreneur and car enthusiast Nic Strong and former
Caterham Technical Director, Jez Coates, the Zolfe will be available
to purchase at the show.
Assembling the Dream Team
Zolfe�s key partners
include Stadco, MTCe, Simpact, AP Racing, Avon Tyres, Powertorque
Engineering and KN Engineering.
Stadco
Stadco are a tier one
supplier to the high volume car industry with customers that include
Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston Martin and Ford. Stadco have engineered
and set-up North American production of the Ford GT, the recent
re-incarnation of the multiple Le Man winning icon, the Ford GT40.
The GT�s aluminium space frame is testimony to Stadco�s wide ranging
capability in vehicle structure design.
Ergonomics
Zolfe has taken full
advantage of Stadco�s extensive whole vehicle development experience
to engineer several critical aspects of the Orange. The original
design has been benchmarked against competitor vehicles including
the Audi TT and Porsche Boxster, to ensure the production version
can accommodate a 95 percentile male complete with racing helmet.
The seating position ergonomics and relationships with steering
wheel, gearstick etc. conforms to strict EEC standards and all legal
requirements in terms of vision angles.
