It resembles the three-wheeler's system, but its geometry is entirely different. Steering is by unassisted rack and pinion (a race car rack) and the front brakes are Ferrari-sized Brembo discs. Rear suspension is independent, using large tubular trailing arms and coil springs over tubular dampers - an impressively robust and compact system."

"Though the show car looks remarkably complete, Mark Grinnall makes no attempt to hide that there's still plenty to do. He'll be amassing more development miles over the winter while the rest of us will be sitting by the fire. But the enormous promise of the car can't be denied, and if you were a doubter on British Motor Show preview day, you only needed to scan the glum faces of the next-door Caterham salesmen as the Scorpion S-IV was unveiled to see that it's going somewhere. Fast."
