The 2014 XCAT World Series season wrapped up this weekend in Dubai. Although the championship was determined before the racing started, the Grand Prix still was exciting—especially with the Fazza team testing new engines.

Great, but it would have been far more interesting to hear a lot more details on the new engines...

It's derived from a stock verado. A 4stroke, supercharged engine that will produce 300hp instead of 350. It weighs 300kg and will rev up to 7300. Read it somewhere but can't find it anymore.

who/ what manufacturers builds the x cat hulls?

Various manufacturers. The Victory hull has been the hot ticket for a while now.

I think Mannerfelt Design Team originally designed the hull:

I'm also curious as to how we can get those cats here in the States

We build the Mannerfelt Design Team V-24's here in the US and would be very interested in bringing the design over here as well. We were actually talking about it in our weekly meeting 2 weeks ago. Feel free to give me a call anytime at 7022282628.

Hi Chris,

I will call you in the morning (your local time).

I'd have already been considerably more intriguing to listen for a lot more details on the revolutionary machines.
