We handed Chassis a bare shell on a Monday and collected a finished, FIA-certified GT4 car eight weeks later. The build bible alone is worth the invoice — every fastener torqued, every decision documented. We've used four fabricators across three countries. None of them work like this.

Build Process

Eight weeks.
Grid-ready.

Every build runs to the same protocol. The timeline is a commitment, not an estimate. If we say eight weeks, we mean seven days before the deadline — not the day after.
