For Team Durango,
‘R’
means Regular Racing specification. Our ‘R’ specification
cars share the same Team Durango DNA, performance and
innovation, but with a more ‘regular’ specification that is
normal or even ‘team-spec’ for most other cars on the
market.
Team Durango ‘R’ means performance and innovation, combined with affordability and an accessible, personal upgrade path. Our ‘R’ cars will be available for all Team Durango models as a step-in point for Team Durango ownership, but the no-compromise ‘Team Durango’ premium version will typically arrive first for hard-core Team Durango fans.
Our philosophy is to develop the ‘Team Durango’ ultimate race car first, using handmade test cars and then, later, see where costs can shaved for the “R” version.
At Team Durango we test our theories with hand-made cars, like the DEX210 2wd being raced at the Yatabe Arena in Japan this weekend. Once the theories have been proven with prototypes, we refine the design, make it production ready, do more testing, and finally we launch the best car we can. Only later will it get the ‘R’ treatment.
Other companies design, sell, see what breaks, sell options; then sell a ‘team spec’ car – Team Durango won’t take this approach.
The first Team Durango ‘R’ car will be the
DEX410’R’ which is also going through final testing.
Street prices for the DEX410R will be US$350, €230 and £210
(these process all exclude local sales taxes/VAT)
Expected availability – End of April 2010 – full spec and
