New generation Serpent 960
The new generation of the successful 960 platform is called Serpent 966.
Its not easy to make a very good car even better, but Michael Salven, together with feedback from Team Serpent drivers, made it possible.
Easier to work on, more accessable, more durable, innovative … the works.
Below a list of main new features and some 3D pictures to explain them.
More detailed info and more “real” pictures to follow in the next 2 weeks.
