The Genius XR5.26 represents the most advanced evolution of the 1/5 TOURING CAR GENIUS PLATFORM developed through over two years of design,
simulation, and intensive on-track testing under real race conditions.
The project was developed from a blank sheet, with the goal of creating a dynamically more efficient car,
capable of delivering consistent performance, ease of setup, and a high level of control for the driver.
The XR5.26 chassis is completely new and designed to operate with controlled and uniform flex along its entire length. The introduction of the new centralized engine mounting system, developed specifically for the Diablo R engine,
allows for optimal mass centralization and a significant lowering of the center of gravity.
This solution improves:
- STABILITY UNDER BRAKING
PRECISION DURING CORNER ENTRY - TRACTION ON CORNER EXIT
while at the same time reducing sudden chassis reactions to changes in grip.
The new chassis architecture enabled a complete redesign of the suspension geometry,
with particular focus on the management of the front and rear roll centers.
VERSIONS
The Genius XR5.26 project was developed as a modular motorsport platform, capable of adapting to different types of powertrain while preserving the driving philosophy, balance, and on-track performance. For this reason, three specific variants are planned, each designed in a dedicated manner rather
than as a simple adaptation.
ZENOAH VERSION
Version designed to be equipped with the Zenoah engine, retaining the same chassis architecture of the XR5.26 platform, but featuring dedicated solutions for:
ENGINE ASSEMBLY POSITIONING
MASS DISTRIBUTION
OMPATIBILITY WITH COMPONENTS SPECIFIC TO A TRADITIONAL INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
D) DIABLO VERSION
Version specifically designed to be equipped with the Diablo engine. This configuration takes advantage of a centralized engine mounting system, developed specifically to:
• MAXIMIZE MASS CENTRALIZATION
LOWER THE OVERALL CENTER OF GRAVITY
• ENSURE UNIFORM CHASSIS FLEX
ECO VERSION
Version designed to be equipped with electric powertrains, featuring a dedicated layout for:
BATTERY HOUSING
POWER ELECTRONICS
OPTIMAL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
The XR5.26 E retains the same motorsport philosophy as the internal combustion versions, offering a competitive platform also in the 1/5 electric segment.
