Details are finally released: https://ifb8.creationmodel.net/

They did an excellent job on the promo site. The car looks really good, tons of trick little details throughout the design. If the car works as good as it looks and they invest in the distribution and drivers, I could see it becoming popular.

Edit: I do notice if I put it in the cart a $70 promo discount is applied. $70 off $649 would be even better! Do you see that promo on your end?

You're 100% right. I logged out of my account and it shows $749.99. I don't see the promo on my end. I placed the preorder for $250 a couple weeks ago and got an email this morning to remit payment directly to their paypal for the remaining balance. Looks like I got a deal, RC1 seem like good folks!

Awesome! I do see in the text description they stated the first 50 pre-orders would get a deal, but didn't say how much.

From flipping through the manual, I love the little details on this car. The front bumper removal and front camber adjustment clips are two examples of smart little quality of life items. I'm going to pay close attention to this kit as Florida transitions toward fall/winter racing. I'm curious to see how aggressive Infinity will be in the US market with respect to hiring top drivers and expanding distribution.

For sure! The design hits a lot of my marks to; maintenance will be a breeze on this thing. I'll be putting it through the gauntlet out here in Arizona! Tekno has a very dominating presence out here so I doubt I'll have very many folks to bounce setup theory off of, but we'll see what I can do with it!

It looks like it might be. Interesting... Perhaps they will offer different upper engine mount blocks for different clutch bell options?

I didn’t notice that when I initially looked at the pics.

I like the idea of this. I’m assuming it will be a 13 tooth bell which is the standard with others. It looks like the engine mounts are standard 2 piece mounts so I’m thinking if a 14 tooth bell is needed maybe different mounts for a 14 tooth.?
