Zephyr’s momentum is gathering speed!

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The #zephyr by #phsport is aimed at adventurers in search of new challenges. It has met with ever-increasing convincing success among numerous drivers during its test and development programme for the 2020 #dakar.

The #zephyr, the fruit of a design brought to maturity after PH Sport's podium in the last #dakar, has been created with a single objective: reuse all the know-how of the leader in France in rally vehicle preparation to build the most complete SSV T3P ever put on sale.

The Langres-based team boosted by 30-years experience at the topmost level used the Can-Am Maverick X3 as its base for its latest creation. The #zephyr represents a new breed of SSVs with its light carbon fibre bodywork that covers a tubular chassis housing its original engine that complies with FIA regulations.

The #zephyr has a formidable power-to-weight ratio and stability that push the boundaries of the benchmarks in the category and its development programme has accelerated since its unveiling in mid-July. Several drivers from different backgrounds ranging from world champions like Antoine Méo to simple amateurs who are looking for new horizons relayed one another at the wheel to fine-tune the setups and validate the solutions chosen by #phsport.

"Since we made the project official the #zephyr has moved into another dimension," explains Bernard Piallat, the #phsport manager. "In recent weeks the test and development programme has unfolded at a rate that's exceeded all our performance and reliability targets. We're also delighted by the enthusiasm of drivers who've unanimously praised the Zephyr's handling, stability and its stiff precise chassis in all kinds of conditions on all types of surfaces.

"The fact that it's both a light and powerful vehicle gives all its drivers a great deal of pleasure on all types of terrain. Now we're going to take advantage the coming weeks to fine-tune the ultimate details before the #zephyr makes its competition debut. We can't wait to see it tackle the emblematic events in the world of rally raids and maybe take the fight to vehicles in the upper-level categories and classes."

Zephyr's test programme will continue in France then in #abudhabi before it makes its first start in the 2020 #dakar in #saudiarabia. After this, #zephyrs will be available for rent and sale to contest all the competitions accepting the SSV T3Ps. In keeping with its tradition #phsport will offer turnkey solutions to support their clients in their programmes.
