Title: Renovatio Concept by Confederate Motor Company Post by: Ryan Martis on March 22, 2009, 06:00:39 PM I’m a little bit confused with this motor design, where do I sit ? This renovation concept by Confederate Motor Company uses minimal machine, using the fewest pieces, moving parts and systems to accomplish its dynamic mission. The word “Renovation” itself means rebirth, which also represent the rebirth of their headquarters company after destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The Driving concept was the creation of a conceptually flexible foundation to allow a place for growth and further iteration; a utilitarian modular flexible foundation.

Renovatio is un-compromised, light weight, possesses enormous torque, is capable of extreme performance, yet has maximum real world streetable active safety. It is graceful in motion, yet potentially brutal. It exudes inner beauty through absolute follow through of truth of concept. Renovatio has great proportions, holistic brand gestalt, is original, impactful, alluring and elegant (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/techzug/imgs/future/renovatio_concept_03.jpg) (http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l336/glamgalz/techzug/imgs/future/renovatio_concept_04.jpg) Specification : Dimensions: Weight: 340lbs.; Wheelbase 60?; Seat Height 30?; 27 degree rake.
