Traxx Racing is proud to present the first details about their 2016 GT-PRO car for the Automation Endurance Challenge II. In the last challenge back in June 2014 we saw Traxx Racing in all three classes. A 3rd place in the GT2 class was their best result. In the faster GT1 class Traxx Racing got a 5th place finish. The presenters of the GT-PRO car from Traxx Racing were confident when they were talking about how well this new platform can perform. This Titan16X GT-PRO is not based on any road going Traxx cars, but it is based on the Traxx Racing Titan16 GT-AM car with a bigger body but with similar styling. This might be turned into a street car after the challenge is finished, so you might get your hands on a Traxx non racing version of this.
The Titan16X is a brand new platform from Traxx Racing. The version used in the Automation Endurance Challenge II is the GT-PRO version. This platform does have the potential to compete with faster racing cars, but it is a bit heavy. The smaller GT-AM Traxx Racing car does have a N/A 2.6 liter inline 6 according to the rumors. The Titan16X also uses a inline 6 according to the rumors, however it is smaller with its 2.5 liters and to get the extra power Traxx Racing fitted it with a turbo. Apparently it produces a lot of torque, so it might do well because of the minimum weight regulation. Only time will tell if this was a good decision by Traxx Racing!
