The first complete Tatuus MSV GB3-025 car has been rolled off the stands at the Tatuus headquarters in Lainate, and is now ready to commence a comprehensive testing programme.
The car’s official reveal marks the completion of a design and production phase that has taken place between Tatuus and MSV throughout the spring and summer.
Boasting significant upgrades over the outgoing Tatuus MSV-022, the latest GB3 machine features a completely new chassis and a dramatically restyled F1-style aerodynamics package producing 35% more downforce. It’s also the first machine built by the Italian constructor to feature DRS and wheel rim covers.
The new normally aspirated, two litre, four-cylinder Mountune engine will deliver an improved 280bhp, whilst bigger Pirelli tyres will increase mechanical grip. Key safety improvements include new crash structures on the front and rear, enhanced anti-intrusion panels and a titanium halo.
A first shakedown run is scheduled to take place in the final week of October, before the dedicated test programme gets underway at multiple circuits in Italy and Spain.
The Tatuus MSV GB3-025 will make its championship debut at the opening round of the season at Silverstone on 26/27 April.
