Overview

However, there is nothing quite like an original, and JConcepts knows how to achieve performance, not just copy it.

The bed of the body shell is carried over from the successful F2 but features the deep draw with surrounding geometry to protect and engine head while simultaneously allowing plenty of cooling access. The cab is redesigned, going to single window S15 treatment, the opposing angular window layout blends into the mid sidepod winglet so famous with this design.
