Photo Gallery «Technology in race cars (29): Autocoast Ti 22 - The Titan»

Name: Autocoast Ti 22 1969
Brand: Autocoast

At the beginning of the 1970 Can-Am season, "Powerslide" described it as the only serious competitor for the overpowering McLaren. And with its ultra-light, super-stiff titanium chassis, the Autocoast Ti 22 really would have had what it took to upset the papaya-colored top dogs - had it not been for a financial ceiling that was far too thin and a momentous stall. This article from the series "Technology in a racing car" sheds light on the short but fierce career of the Can-Am racer made of metal that is as light as it is expensive.
