I don't know, why I have feeling that front chassis is not too rigid? They welded it to floor and it really does look very weak construction but I guess they have made calculations and know what they are doing. Also I guess crash safety is not going to be issue then as those straight pieces of steel are surely going into passenger department if that thing is driven to wall.

Also why they can't use T5 or T6 engine, or even that Yamaha V8?

Some things are not how I would like in that :lol:

I am looking forward seeing the taxi on Rudskogen this summer!

they use Bmw engines because they wanted to do something special, and because the engine builder is weary good at tuning Bmw engines, the last gatebil taxi was an Bmw 2006 model 3-Series, with 4 bucket seats and like 500\600 Bhp.(i don't remember)
