Question

I don't know where anybody got the idea that the car would be in Formula D.

The S15 is meant as a show car and development platform for Tein's next generation suspension components. It will be heading overseas soon for the Tokyo Auto Salon, after which it should start running in some time attacks.

I have a whole bunch of new pictures to share which will give you all a better idea of what Tein has in store...

Just a quick shot the rear suspension, resting off the car. We will be replacing both the front and rear subframe with a tubular arrangement to allow for a greater range of adjustability.



Two shots of the front suspension from underneath the car. If you look closely, you'll notice the electronic control unit.



From above, you can see there is a second control unit on top as well. You'll also notice the heavy duty reinforcement of the tower and surrounding engine bay. The chassis needs to be quite strong to stand up to the abuse of time attack.



Here's a shot of the inside. Almost looks like modern art.
