​

SV1 was designed for drivers, by drivers. It holds the road well, with stellar cornering and rough road control. Smart thinking safety ideas to better enhance visibility. Strong structure for handling high speed crashes. The chassis and hood section is entirely 3D fixtures. No detail went missed. All lights work except the student 8-ways (sadly still). Its a first gen design for a Automation vehicle, many improvements will be made. Be sure to leave a comment on your experience with SV1!
