You got it.....

The new Tiger Aviator. It has been a full year of development on this Tiger and from the outset was desgned with four main points in mind.

1. Aerodynamics
2. Modern "up to date" Styling
3. Tiger Identity
4. Keep the same race winning geometry that has beaten the other main players in this industry more times in races than we have time to mention on this page.

Tiger alongside Simon Keys of "first principle design" started with a few main points on the design which both agreed were important to the end product - we started on plain sheet '1' and finished on end sheet '26'. The priorities were

1. Side View - low frontal - higher rear "think arrow head shape"
2. Plan view "think arrow head shape"
3. Front View - smaller lower narrow nose
4. Weight - new chassis is the same weight as RS6 (59kgs)
5. No air resistance on rear wings

The first Aviator is Ford Duratec based using the Weber Alpha Pro 4 and mapped by Tiger with drive through a Quaife type 9 with 3.9 Sierra diff.

Aviator will be available as a 'gel-coat finish', for the better finish painting is recommended. Aviator will be available as kit and of course factory built - all other Tiger models will continue as before.
