X Factory X-7 Proto Raced at 2011 Cactus Classic

X Factory showed off its new 4WD car for the first time at the recent Cactus Classic. As usual, their testing was done in public but quietly so few people realised what they saw. These photos show the prototype X-7 with a JConcepts body made for the B44, but the production car will have its own.
“I’m so excited about this car” said Chief Engineer Paul Sinclair. â€œWe don’t work outside the box because we have no box. The X-7 is absolutely revolutionary. You have never seen a driveline like this, you have never seen adjustability this easy or quick. Working on the car is very easy; I can pull a diff, rebuild it, and have the car ready to run in ten minutes.”

Clayton Easley, who drove the car in 13.5T format at the Cactus said, “The platform is definitely there. We have a long way to go, and we’ll have the details worked out in a few months.” Paul added, “We’re working very hard on this project. We will make almost everything on the car – it will be a complete kit, not a conversion. This is the first time I’ve actually designed everything on car from the ground up. There is a long way to go, lots of testing and development. Ellis Stafford will have my original race prototype sometime next week and we hope to have it on the market late this year or spring of 2012.”
