What is a Race Car Silhouette?

A race car silhouette is a racing car with a very distinct appearance. It differs mechanically from its production cousin in many ways, but it is still recognisable to spectators. It often uses radical chassis construction techniques, using carbon-fibre tubs or space frames instead of a conventional chassis.

A Silhouette is an off-road racecar with a tubular chassis and carbon fibre body. Unlike its series counterpart, Silhouettes are built in collaboration with other manufacturers or partners, bringing a similar look and feel to a production model. A Silhouette is an off-road car that can be built in a variety of ways, from a complete rework to a simple body change.
