RR01 chassis is designed around clearly defined load paths, ensuring predictable behavior under braking, cornering, and impact scenarios.
Safety systems are integrated into the structure from the start — not added later.
rhino automotive
Engineering without shortcuts.
RR01 is built as a complete mechanical system, where every decision is driven by function, safety, and repeatability.
Chassis
Structural design driven by load paths, not aesthetics.
Key focus:
Structural rigidity
Driver cell protection
Serviceability and repeatable manufacturing
Suspension
Geometry designed for consistency.
Suspension architecture prioritizes predictable handling and mechanical grip across different setups and use cases.
Key focus:
Double wishbone geometry
Pushrod suspension
Adjustability and setup access

Powertrain
Designed to support multiple drivetrain configurations.
The platform accommodates different powertrain layouts while maintaining cooling efficiency and structural clarity.
Key focus:
Modular drivetrain mounting
Integrated cooling architecture
Clear system separation
Safety
Safety integrated at system level.
Safety systems are built into the structure from the beginning, not added as separate elements.
Key focus:
Driver cell protection
Harness and seat integration
Implemented crash structure
The build
Built by the hands that own it
The RR01 is designed for assembly, not just for driving. Every interface, tolerance and access point was considered so the build is rewarding, not a fight.
01
Fits, doesn't fight
Components are machined to fit. No forcing, no hammer, no improvising.
02
Realistic build time
A complete kit comes together in about 300 hours of hands-on assembly, on your own schedule.
03
Standard tooling
A well-equipped home workshop is enough. No proprietary jigs required.
04
Access by design
Critical components stay reachable without full disassembly cascades.
Documentation & support
Nothing hidden
Every bracket, line and fastener is documented and reachable. You build with full information and a team behind you.
Build manuals
Step-by-step guides with torque values and sequence, written for the build, not adapted from a service manual.
Builder community
A dedicated support platform where builders connect, share progress and learn together.
Engineering support
Named contacts available through your build. Ask before you start, and at every stage after.
Anatomy
Engineered, part by part
The RR01 is a complete system. Here is what goes into it, subsystem by subsystem, and why each choice was made. These are the same components you select in the configurator.
Chassis & safety
Bespoke AW6082-T6 aluminium monocoque with an integrated chromoly roll cage. Light, rigid, and engineered for predictable load paths.
Suspension
Double-wishbone, push-rod architecture on Intrax 1K2 dampers, with premium Intrax 2K2 ARC dampers available. Fully adjustable.
Brakes
A 4-piston brake system and pedal box as standard. AP Racing 6-piston brakes available on Performance Spec.
Wheels & tyres
Forged wheels (19in, 9.5J front / 11J rear) on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres. Grip chosen for road and track.
Drivetrain
Ford Coyote 5.0L V8 (Gen 4) with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Performance intake, stainless exhaust and a motorsport fuel system available.
Steering
Electro-hydraulic power steering. Weighted for feedback and usable on the road.
Body & aerodynamics
Full GFRP bodywork and a functional aero package. Forged-carbon aero available.
Cockpit & controls
Motorsport-style steering wheel with an integrated digital display, built-in switches and paddle shift for the dual-clutch gearbox, on a carbon-fibre dashboard.
Electronics
Power management and wiring, digital rear-view camera, cooling and HVAC. Available ECU Master sensor module feeds wheel-speed and brake-pressure data.
Serviceable, globally available, and chosen so you are never tied to a single source.
Validation.
RR01 engineering decisions are validated through real world use rather than isolated testing scenarios.
The platform is evaluated under sustained load to assess structural behavior, thermal stability, and system interaction over time.
Feedback from testing informs refinement and confirmation of design intent, ensuring that solutions perform consistently in practice, not only in theory.
