NaikMotor – Lahir kembali, Norton menyapa pasar otomotif dengan Norton V4 RR terbaru. Motor baru ini dikembangkan di Isle of Man TT dan dirancang dengan mesin anyar.
Norton mengembangkan dan mendefinisikan ulang V4 RR mereka jadi motor baru yang siap kembali bersaing di pasaran. Dengan mesin V4 baru yang dirancang oleh Norton, sasisnya yang tajam dikembangkan di negara asal mereka. V4 RR handbuilt ini dibuat untuk mendefinisikan motor sport Inggris.
Norton V4 RR memiliki fitur yang serba baru, mesin berkapasitas 1.200 cc, berpendingin cairan, konfigurasi V 72°, dan mampu menghasilkan tenaga 200 bhp. Seperti seri-seri sebelumnya, V4 RR dirancang dan dibangun di Norton’s Donington Hall oleh tim ahli di Inggris. Nantinya, New V4 RR ini akan menyediakan pilihan varian karbon atau chrome finish.
Untuk desain dan geometri dari rangka RR, pengembangannya dilakukan di Isle of Man TT pada Norton SG5 TT race bike. Desainer Norton disebut-sebut menghabiskan waktu bertahun-tahun untuk mengerjakan setiap detailnya, sehingga diklaim “worth” untuk dinikmati keindahannya.
Untuk paket elektroniknya, Norton menggunakan kontrol traksi multi-setting, anti-wheelie, penyesuaian pengereman mesin, launch control, quickshift dengan penurunan gigi blipper otomatis, mode pengendara, pencatatan datalog dan cruise control, yang semuanya dioperasikan lewat layar 7″ berwarna.
