The chassis was thorough, but very easy, because it was tubular, engine and gearbox formed part of the design for additional rigidity. The double A - shaped frame, stabilizer of transverse stability and disc brakes are located at both ends, the entire building was made of aluminum. The engine was tuned to a large number of revolutions, was done a complete balancing for possible use in the race. Compression ratio raised to 10.5:1 for more power. Four two-chamber carburetor Weber with a descending flight of air gave model enormous traction, even for a small number of revolutions per minute. For a 2-year built only 12 cars and, as far as is known, for there were only 3, which made them incredibly expensive these days.
