The model features a material called Carbon-Nomex for the body panels (carbon panels with Nomex honeycomb). As a result, the car is all CNC machined stainless steel and aerospace grade carbon fiber, as is the monocoque chassis. Carbon-Nomex body panels wrap carbon fiber around a Nomex aramid material that is both tough and fire retardant. It also adds a high degree of stiffness without adding much weight.
The decidedly retro-future-race cockpit is actually a highly advanced piece of modern engineering, with a range of adjustability for the steering wheel and pedal assembly that were never contemplated for the original. The seats are equally advanced, faturing a unique adjustment mechanism that allows for height and tilt ranges suitable for drivers from 5'0" to 6'5".
The fully independent, height adjustable double wishbone front suspension pairs with a fully independent rear and adjustable coilover shocks to deliver modern handling, while inboard Wilwood discs minimize unsprung weight and provide all the stopping power the DBR2 modern recreation needs.
Rizk Auto offers a choice from three engines: a Jaguar straight six, a Jaguar V12 or a fuel-injected Corvette V8. Both Jaguar engines are mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, while the Corvette V8 unit comes with a choice of a six-speed manual or auto.
Price for the model is 180,000 US dollars, or 128,000 euros.
