Gould Puma

The design specification for this car has to be one of the most impressive in the world. Turbo charged, 4WD sequential transmission, fully independent suspension, uncompromised aerodynamics. “What we have designed and built here is fundamentally a dream come reality”. Totally unique, the Gould Puma was conceived by Mike Endean, the one time chairman and founder of Xtrac Ltd. He wanted to combine his vast technical expertise in transmission design and his passion for sprint and speed hillclimbing competition.

An extreme hybrid is the best way to descried the car, it utilises a Ford Puma body shell, stiffened and strengthened with stell tube fabrications both for safety and to bear the loads of the engine, transmission, differential and suspension. The rest of the body is all carbon on carbon/Kevlar mouldings, the doors, interior, bonnet, floor, boot lid and of course rear diffuser.
