A while back we showed you pictures of a new Russian made prototype touring car that has been tearing up the tracks in Russia. The car we showed you before was shaft drive and sported the motor mounted perpendicularly to the shaft and although we never did see how that worked along comes another Tourer, this time its fully carbon which makes it extremely light. The main feature of this, and the previous car too, is the fact that they dont appear to have shock absorbers or even anywhere to mount them and are basically flat pan electric touring cars.
