The construction of the Isotta Fraschini Hypercar proceeds unabated and it is almost time to see it entirely in its forms.
The Michelotto technicians, assisted by the engineers of Vector Sport, the team that will take it to the track in the FIA World Endurance Championship, have now completed the assembly of the most complicated parts of the Tipo 6 Competizione.
Having received the chassis a few weeks ago, the men of the Padua-based company set to work head-on to begin joining the various parts, starting with the suspension mechanics and then arriving at the 3-litre turbocharged V6 engine combined with the hybrid system with Williams Advanced Engineering batteries and Bosch electronics, and a 7-speed X-Trac gearbox.
PWR was chosen for the cooling system, while the braking system is Brembo, the suspensions by Multimatic Motorsports and the transmission components by Pankl.

Now it’s time to… move on to the Tipo 6 Competizione, which is ready for 4WD bench tests where the various components will be tested by simulating what it will then face on the various circuits once ready.
A couple of weeks ago the steering wheel had also arrived and here we took the opportunity to joke by borrowing a famous quote from ‘The Lord of the Rings’.
“A steering wheel to tame them, a steering wheel to find them, a steering wheel to bring them all and in the dark bind them. In the land of Milan, where there is fashion”, reads the caption of the photo.
Phrase that refers to that of JRR Tolkien’s novel referring to the ring of power created by the Dark Lord, Sauron: “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the dark bind them, in the Land of Mordor, where the Shadow falls.”
Now all that remains is the bodywork and aerodynamics, developed using the structures of Williams Advanced Engineering and ready for the presentation which will take place in Milan on 28 February at 3.00 pm at the ACI Milan headquarters.
