ROUSH Develops Vehicle to Increase Horse Power |
|
We wind up behind horse's asses every day on the interstate, but ROUSH has developed a vehicle with a rear-mounted cabin for the express purpose of towing a crew of three around while staring at the business end of an actual Equus caballus. ROUSH Technologies is more than just mechanical Mustangs, and the company has proved it by developing an equine training vehicle for Kurt Systems, a Turkish racehorse and camel training equipment company.
The vehicle has an open front stall where the animal can run, and a
rear mounted cabin that allows a driver, a vetiranarian and a trainer
to keep a keen eye on vital signs. The suspension is partially F-150
based, while power is provided by Volvo's 2.4-liter five-cylinder
engine hooked up to an automatic transmission and driving through some
reduction hardware. The vehicle will start serial production soon; in
an odd sort of irony, ROUSH is even further tied to fast horses now.
Press release after the jump.
