The Foxhound remains a powerful example of how innovative motorsport expertise can deliver cutting-edge solutions into parallel sectors. Ricardo’s Chief Engineer came directly from a World Rally Championships (WRC) programme, whilst General Dynamics’ was the McLaren F1 Chief Engineer, both employing many of the same design philosophies, especially when it came to integrated structures, modularity for ease and speed of maintenance.
