Description
the company now trades as frazer nash research in all kinds of hi tech wtf things like Automotive Multiplexing Systems, Advanced Composites, Multi-Motor Drivelines, Mass Transit Systems
probably the only vintage brand that has managed to adapt into something groundbreaking and different...rather than being passed around by fat cats only interested in milking out an old name..."powered by a 814cc rotary engine mated to a generator and four electric motors which work in pairs at the front and rear"
