Several manufacturers raised concerns about the tight timelines implied by the new regulations to design and build new cars.Bercella accepted the challenge and committed to deliver the SCG007 chassis, FIAS (Front Impact Absorbing Structures) and RIAS (Rear Impact Absorbing Structures) in due time, dealing for the first with the new technical regulatory landscape.SCG dedicated teams are currently collaborating with Bercella joining experience and commitment for the realisation of this premiere Hypercar model.
