1992 Pebble Beach
Concours d'Elegance Award Winning Car
The Scorpion and Saturn were
both built on a 2600mm wheelbase, and featured
fully-independent front suspension with upper and lower
control arms, longitudinal torsion bars, and telescopic
shock absorbers. The rear drive and suspension comprised a
deDion axle with triangular links, longitudinal torsion
bars, and telescopic shock absorbers. Steering was by
rack-and-pinion. Brakes were four wheel hydraulic drums.
The engine was a BMW 328 of 1988 cc with overhead valves
operated by a quite effective system of transverse rocker
arms that gave the motor the appearance of having overhead
cams. The five-speed transmission was of the company's own
design. Electrics were 12-volt, unusual for the day.
