If the frame cannot handle the higher-powered versions, that sounds to my uneducated ear like a need for some serious re-design work on the chassis, which ought not to be rushed. Am I wrong?  |
You would think. But you have a lot of smart people building these cars and these engineers will whip up a solution and they’ll test it and green light it. Who knows what they’ll do...I do electrical so I don’t a damn thing about structural or mechanical engineering but I’d imagine the chassis will just be reinforced in strategic areas. Or they’ll have to use a different alloy in areas to prevent that. They’ll figure it out.
