Xray XT8 to remain unchanged for 08

A bit of non news from Xray, who have officially confirmed what they told us in Nuremberg last month, that the XT8 truggy will remain unchanged for this season.

The XT8 has been extremely successful since its release, and the long development time has paid off as the car has been proven to be ‘bulletproof’ and its performance has been at the very highest level. We have followed all reports, feedback and exeriences very closely, not only from team drivers but also from our customers around the world… and as such I am happy to confirm that there are no immediate plans to alter the XT8 and it will remain with the same specifications for the 2008 season. I hope everybody enjoys the XT8 and I wish everybody great success in the 2008 racing season.
