#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Monocoque Tub 1× Hollow shell of carbon skins over aluminum honeycomb core, laid up in halves and autoclave-cured at 7 bar.
2 Nose Crash Structure 1× Sacrificial carbon cone ahead of the front bulkhead, crush-tested to absorb the frontal impact energy.
3 Halo 1× Titanium hoop over the cockpit rated to support 12 tonnes of static load.
4 Side Impact Tube 4× Carbon crush tube bonded into each sidepod flank for lateral impacts.
5 Molded Seat Insert 1× Foam seat molded to the individual driver and removable with the driver after an accident.
6 Energy-Absorbing Headrest 1× Confor-foam surround controlling head motion under 50 g impacts.
7 Front Bulkhead 1× Forward closure of the tub carrying the nose, master cylinders, and inboard suspension.
8 Fastener Set 2× Bolts, nuts, and washers.
