wer driving light panel, were designed by Piaa to provide safe high-speed vision at night. After that, the team selected a battery that weighs just 22 pounds as opposed to a standard automotive battery that weighs 48 pounds. The purity of the lead provides ample cranking amps and it recharges much quicker than a conventional automotive battery. The pair of aluminum radiators with very compact dimensions and weight of only 6 1/2 pounds each were engineered by Griflfin Radiators.When the car was ready to paint, the team chose the brand new deep rich red, called Kosmos Red, from a Company called The House of Kolor. Santa Ana Plating handled all the plating for the special parts. Plating has seen the advent of many technological advances, and these new techniques are used for gold cadmium, black anodizing, and gold anodizing. The reason why the team wanted to have some plating done was because they had several very special parts that they wanted to show off, such as the engine deck hinges and all of the grills on the car, which were machined from a solid billet of aluminum. A Company called Obus Forme, based in Toronto, Canada, makes orthopedic seat products. The team incorporated their system to the Bizzarrini seats, and created very comfortable high performance seats. As other parts on the car, the seat frames are made of carbon fibre to reduce weight.The Bizzarrini prototype uses the Ferrari Testarossas enginea flat, 12 cylinder, 5 liter, 4 valve, 4 cam power plant, which produces approximately 380 horsepower. Development is underway for a prototype 60 degree V-12 of 5 liters with four valves, four cams and a very sophisticated intake system with individually mapped electronic fuel injection for each cylinder. Alan Lockheed has developed a software package called the "Engine Expert." He and Bizzarrini are experimenting with all the engine design variables so that while the team tweaks and plays around with the Ferraris engine, they will ...
