The chassis is a steel spaceframe, skinned in NS4 Aluminium, very similar to the original Can-Am, design albeit using square section instead of round, the chassis is an extremely rigid, lightweight structure.

The suspension features a fully rose jointed double wishbone configuration at the front, using Jaguar XJ6 uprights and a selection of braking options depending on budget. At the rear twin radius arms, reversed lower wishbone and top link locate a purpose made Cast Aluminium upright using a Ford 4x4 or Cosworth hub. Brakes are again varied, depending on budget.

Although designed by Autotune, the full suspension geometry was thoroughly checked and verified by former Chevron and more recently Reynard designer Paul Brown, whose successful designs have included F1, Indy, and Le Mans Cars.

The chassis was designed in order to accept a variety of engines, the most popular choice being the Chevrolet V8 small block, other engines fitted have included the Rover/Buick V8. Transaxle choice depends very much on budget, ranging from the expensive and scarce Hewland DG 300 through the various ZF versions to the cheaper Porsche G50 and Renault 30 designs. All have been fitted and have performed well in their particular use.

Two types of bodywork configuration are available, either the M1B or M1C tail sections must be specified when ordering a Can-Am.

The Kit can be purchased in various stages right through from a bare chassis and suspension package to a fully assembled race car.

Although designed as a race car, one Can-Am was built up to full road car specifications, including the fitment of lights, handbrake and extra instrumentation, etc.

The design has proven itself on the circuit with good results in the BRSCC Replicar series, and also in the 750 Motor Club Supersports Series.
