How About This VW Pickup Racer From Concept Racing?
by AutoExpert | 2 February, 2022
It's amazing what can be accomplished by people who have a love for VWs and racing automobiles. In the case of this Concept Racing '64 Single Cab Pickup, it was a genuine connection with old Volkswagens combined with an enthusiasm for racing automobiles that enabled this spectacular build to come to fruition.
Bob Hall, the creator of Concept Racing in England, designed it. Concept Racing specializes in offering unique fabrication services to the motorsport sector. They can produce a wide range of performance components, including charger coolers, radiators, dry sump tanks, extensive fuel and oil systems, and even more.
Clare Daniels, a competent engineer who has been by Bob's side for the previous 24 years and joined the Concept Racing Team in 2006, was also involved. Together, they've created one of the most outrageous VW '64 Single Cab Pickups we've ever seen. Oh, wait, there are a lot of Porsche 911 components in here. This build begins with a 3 liter Porsche 911 flat-six engine with race camshafts, headwork, and triple Weber 410DFs, as well as equal length headers and a one-of-a-kind exhaust.
The transmission is a 5-speed Porsche 915 with a limited-slip differential. Bob added a hydraulic clutch system and pedals, as well as a cable-operated shifter. He developed and constructed the chassis from the ground up to handle all of the Porsche 911 rear arms, Ford Mustang cross member, and Air Ride adjustable height suspension components.
Then, Bob picked American Racing Torque Thrust M Alloys 9.5x18" front wheels and 11x18" rear wheels to complement the neon orange new paint job. 16" Ford Mustang front discs with Willwood front 4-pot alloy calipers are mounted behind the wheels in the front. Porsche 911 vented discs with integrated handbrake assembly and Porsche 911 Carrera calipers are installed at the back.
A closer look at the cab's roof reveals a carbon-fiber roof that contrasts well with the orange paintwork. You'll also discover a triangulated chassis rail system beneath the cab, a special alloy steering wheel, gear shifter, handbrake, and foot pedals on the inside. We can be certain of one thing; you must have had a blast watching this Concept Racing VW Pickup Racer.
