Description
The Chicane first appeared in AcceleRacers driven by Karma Eiss. The carbon fiber body is built apon a magnesium chassis with foamed frame, coilovers made a high stability allowing Chicane to be able to drive easily through chicanes (a chicane is a notch in a straightaway). This gave Chicane its name. This car is a Teku car with underglow neon. Unlike most AcceleRacers, this car and Bassline have LEDs. This car is very rare, compared to other AcceleRacers cars.This car has similarities with the RD-09 car Gelorum seen from design front.
Engine: Mid-Engine 6.5 Litre DOHC.
Power: 400HP
Top Speed: 278 MPH
0-60: 3.8 Seconds.
In 2013, the casting is changed with the front metal piece casted into the body, then after 2014 the rivet post replaced the hook on the chassis at the back.
