NR16 uses the reliable, easy to drive Yamaha Genesis 80FI powerplant with a
CVT. The packaging of the CVT was redesigned to allow for a more rearward center
of gravity to improve handling. An aerodynamic package was introduced this
year to improve cornering performance. To offset the added weight of the aerodynamics
package significant weight-savings measures were taken, specifically in
the suspension. The design emphasizes adjustability for the user with adjustable
pedals and suspension points. A steel spaceframe is used for ease of adjustment
and access to key components. A renewed focus on ergonomics allows the driver
to comfortably control the car during long events.
