FORNASARI 600

Fornasari 600 represents the starting point of Fornasari cars’ production. Derived from the car which raced worldwide in the Rally Raid competitions, 600 is still a unique car in terms of performances both on- road and off-road: an AWD sports car to drive on sand as much as on snow and ice or in a race track. Fast and aggressive as an high-speed GT, safe and comfortable as 4X4 SUV vehicle. The heart consists of the latest generation of engines by General Motors as reviewed by Fornasari in the U.S. The car is available in different motorizations, from 500 to 750hp, 6.2 or 7.0 liters 8V cylinders. Recently Fornasari introduced also a new 3.0 liters Turbo Diesel V6 – 250hp. The gearbox is a 6-speed manual or automatic. The traction is integral all wheels drive (AWD): 2WD traction can be requested too. Power gets transmitted to the wheels in three different ways: by a central viscous joint 38/62, standard 40/60, or with reduced gears. Standard rims and tires are 20”, but customers can choose from 16” (races) up to 23”. The steel piping chassis components assures an extraordinary lightness and versatility, as well as the composite body. The car weight is only 1650kg. These features make Fornasari 600 a car with no equals in the marketplace, able to reach a top speed of almost 300Km/h and to accelerate from 0 to 100Km/h in less than 4 seconds.

Personalization

Customization is a must. No colour range is taken for reference. Both interior and exterior views are determined according to the clients’ taste. The most exclusive and even the most eccentric materials find their right place. Everything may be required and satisfied: Formula breaks, suspensions ready to win the Dakar or the Grand Prix, hand-hammered body in carbon or aluminum, and even 18” rims or the 23” dizzy ‘rings’, which can be combined with tires for either desert sands or high-speed circuits.

Interior

Interiors are in leather and aluminium, with details sometimes recalling the past (as for the ashtray inspired to the old fashioned deluxe cars) combined with advanced multimedia accessories. There are 5 large seats inside, with the back seat that can be split. The loading capability is noteworthy for a car showing so much of a sporting attitude without forgetting the undeniable needs of modern life. All that recalls of the genuine hand made cars. That’s why we can find hand hammered and satin aluminium, hand-sewn seams in the leather, pure woollen fitted carpet with leather borders, pedal controls and other parts of the console crafted with care as unique pieces. Instruments are rounded in shape and the metallic pointers are hand balanced, enriched by all those led lights so familiar to the collectors.

Frame

The car’s skeleton consists of a special steel piping chassis in molybdenum-chrome that means a real space-frame in a 4-5 users’ model adaptation. More than 450 pipelines go across in order to obtain stiffness and torsion capability with a weight of less than 150 kg. The suspension triangles are equal on the four sides and allow the perfect control of the geometrical work. The suspensions travel of 240 mm has been studied so as not to affect or change in any extent the geometrical configuration, as it had been set.

Engines

The heart consists of the latest generation of engines by General Motors’ as reviewed by Fornasari in the U.S. The result is a light but reliable complex all built in aluminium. Sparing of consumption, in compliance with law about gas emissions puts no limits to power exploitation, which comes to be underlined by great values of torque.
