I didn’t think can-am cars were homologated?
It’s easy for a manufacturer to make a couple hand crafted cars with insane specs. But by requiring homologous, it adds a unique kind of restriction where it’s a car that they have to be able and willing to make at scale. That requires buy-in from industrial engineers as well as business/marketing folks
Edited to add: just learned that homologation doesn’t mean exactly what I thought it did. So my parent thread should have been about “sec-style homologation” specifically and not just “homologation” generally. The idea is that you need to have a car built in production in order to be homologated
- rgmerk 11mo agoThe old Group A touring cars of the 1980s and early 90s are perhaps closer to what you’re thinking of. Nissan built the R32 Skyline GT-R and killed the category (and birthed a legend in the process, admittedly).
