I also like the way they did the disc brakes on the front wheels. I have seen some custom harley's that run them like that.

buell bikes are the same, they are called radial brakes

Is it me, or do those tires mess up the total picture.... Besides that, really cool car!

I like it from a "looks" standpoint! Those brakes are dangerous... as a cruiser and show car it is fine, but you would cook them pretty quickly if you ever actually got after the car a bit... unless it only weighs what two Buells weigh which I highly doubt. Still, neat looking - thanks for posting! (My buddy is a big-time Volvo guy so I will let him know :unibrow: )

I appreciate the elegance of its design, but it's almost too simple. Still cool though. :thumbsup:

And yes those brakes look like they will fold like paper!

It´s the old Volvo sign cut in to the tires..

I like the look of the car. I (as you all have said) have to wonder about the durability of those brakes in this application, but they do look cool.

I think it looks cool.

i think it looks absolutely awesome... the fromn tires are alittle wide but the look is just awesome... i hope to see the car first hand at the ESRA nats this year, where with any luck me and the 32 should attend... i doubt the brakes will be a problem... with a carbon fibre chassis and aluminum body that thing should weigh no more than 900 kg.. with a 70/30 weight bias at braking the front wheels should stop no more than 315 kg´s each... which is the same as a buell with a 80kg driver... and besides the kinetic energy is alittle less at the speeds youd expect this car to go.. a buel is made to do back to back 150-0 mph stops all day and not fade.... and the cooling should be fenomenal with no fenders and a 14.7'' diameter brake...
