Tech Specs

I do not need a higher speed. The revs however are a concern.

I hope, the highest gear is kind of an overdrive for constant cruising. Shouldn't be a big sacrifice with an eight-gear transmission, I guess.

There hasn't been a lot of information about the brakes. This is a very heavy vehicle and stopping it from 130kmh in an emergency is going to take some good braking capacity.

The Brembo system will be very effective. It has to stop a fully loaded vehicle, and pass safety standards in many countries.

The reason why they can't mount 16" rims is that the brakes are too big. So I guess this is not a bottleneck.

One of the things that impressed me is that they are using components from companies like Brembo & Recaro etc.

Yes 16" steelies would be a good option. I have selected 17" steel rims with BF Goodrich tyres as a starting point.

Do we have confirmation that brakes are by Brembo?  I know Ineos has been taking a best-of-breed approach to parts, but hadn't yet seen anything naming the braking provider.

 yeah we do

 

[Stu_Barnes]

Great spot.

 

[d1rty]

Great spot and great news.  This thing really is the best of breed.  At this point I hope they don't over reach on pricing.

I think the term for that has to be "Doing a Rivian!"

That Is a fantastic find @d1rty. Now I don't have to ask who supplies the fuel filler cap!!! 

 

[Tazzieman]

I've attached the rest of the document.

One of the most interesting supplies that I didn't know about is , Eaton - Front & Rear diff locks. 

 

[DaveB]

I saw one expert reviewer who said "I hope the dif locks don't come from Eaton" .  I have not decided 100% if I will get them has anyone heard of any issues/problems?

Nothing wrong with eaton lockers. You'll hear opinions on all makes, but in reality they all throw a few bad ones here and there. I'll be 100% getting them as it's so much easier to spec them from factory and have them warrantied, as opposed to fitting aftermarket and affecting the rest of the diff warranty 

 

[d1rty]

More great stuff in there beyond Brembo brakes and Eaton lockers:

Eibach springs
Bilstein dampers
Spicer/Dana driveshafts

Yes that document is great and tipped me over the edge to reserve one. 
My wife just came into my office and told me she wants a black roof instead of the white one I had chosen. 
She just worked through the configurator with me and can't wait for a test drive

where do you live? Anywhere with heat/intense sun your roof is going to act as a large heat absorber if black. Imagine that’s why so many IGs and LRs in the past had white roofs.
