Techniques & Design

The CANAM is an absolute High-Tech vehicle, developed for the racetrack, built by TECHNOCARS  with some of the finest components of race-technology available. Racing experience and wind channel improved aerodynamic efficiency lead to this smashing design. With a top speed of over 200 miles per hour (using TECHNOCARS  high performance sports engine option and spoilers) this car is more than a match to all but a handful of competitors in the high end section of super cars . 

Taking its inspiration from the awesome mid-engined racers that competed in the American Can-Am series during the Sixties and Seventies, the CANAM  represents a modern interpretation of these amazing machines. However, substantially increased levels of interior comfort and finish make our car available for not only the race track, but also the road.

The heart of every new TECHNOCARS CANAM is a race-proven space frame chassis which, allied to purpose-built independent suspension and bespoke parts throughout, offers a level of handling and road-holding way beyond any conventional road car. On the road, acceleration, overtaking, cornering and braking are all equally confidence inspiring. Steering is light and responsive. Brakes are firm and precise. Manual gear changes are precise and quick with an easy blip of the throttle on change down.

Equipped with AUDI s modern and lightweight aluminum V8 - 4.2 liter engine with 40 valves prepared by TECHNOCARS with an innovative motormanagement system to comply EURO 4 norm - this sensational design is a vibrating powerful yet reliant super car. Ambitious design together with German engineering - the best TECHNOCARS  has to offer.
