XRAY XB8 The all-new XB8…an icon of unequaled reliability & outstanding performance. Juraj Hudy and the XRAY Engineering and Racing Teams have designed the all-new XB8 platform as a departure from the conventional off-road concept platform, and to reset the standards for performance, reliability & handling. From the all-new unique XRAY pivot ball suspension XPBS™, XRAY’s own Multi-Flex™ adjustment system, superior weight balance and weight distribution, through to the all-new big-bore high-efficiency shocks, the XB8 is the finest innovative engineering ideas transformed into a pure luxury race car. “To bring the XRAY 1/8 off-road platform to an all-new level, we had to let go of everything traditional and adopt innovative approaches without considering any limitations. I am very happy and proud to present to you the most advanced 1/8 off-road car ever designed. Long-term tested in various conditions by some of the worlds best drivers, and made with the artistic craftsmanship of our in-house XRAY factory production specialists, the XB8 is simply the finest race car we have ever made. Designed, developed, and fully manufactured in Slovakia, Europe with XRAYs legendary attention to the detail, fine materials and extreme performance, I am thrilled to present to you the all-new XB8. Dipl. Eng. Juraj Hudy XRAY Chief Designer Learn more about development of the XB8: Exclusive interview with Dipl. Eng. Juraj Hudy – Making of the XB8. http://www.neobuggy.net/2013/12/22/exploring-xray-jurajs-interview/ Heritage…Luxury…Performance Building on the heritage of quality, performance, and support evidenced by multiple Car of the Year awards, Viewer’s Choice awards, and countless victories at racetracks around the world (including the prestigious European Championship title), the XB8 is what you would expect of an XRAY car – a premium, professional, high-competition model racing car for the most demanding racers, developed and designed with attention to the smallest details. Manufactured from premium European materials, machined using state-of-the-art Swiss and German, and backed by premium service & support, the XB8 is typical XRAY: a luxury masterpiece of engineering. Back to the Future “Designing the new off-road platform brought me back in time to 1986 when I first designed and hand made my first 1/8 off-road car; it featured revolutionary pivot ball suspension with adjustable caster, camber, and roll centers. The performance & extreme durability of that car allowed it to win all of the races around. Years later in 2004, XRAY’s truly first mass-production XB8 became one of the most successful off-road cars winning the European Championship title. This déjà vu inspired me with the idea to get back to the future with the all-new platform, to have it proudly bear the XB8 name to pay tribute and carry forward the winning heritage.” Dipl. Eng. Juraj Hudy XRAY Chief Designer XB8 Debut There is no other 1/8 off-road car that had such an incredibly outstanding prototype debut than the new XB8. Reno Savoya & Martin Bayer brought the very first prototype to its first official race – no less than the European Championship – and went on to give one of the most thrilling main final races in EC history. After leading the main final, Reno Savoya finished only 0.7sec behind the winner, with Martin Bayer finishing in a very close 3rd place, making it a double podium finish and one of the most successful prototype debuts ever.

Our trust in the car allowed me to focus on racing and I could easily battle for a podium finish at the Euros.” “The improvements in performance and handling of the car are just tremendous...you will love the car like nothing else.” “We were confident going to the Euros that we had a car that we could take all the way for the win.” “The best part about working with XRAY is that everything is possible. Juraj does not accept limitations, and there are no problems that cannot be solved, and no performance that cannot be attained.” Reno Savoya, European Champion: “The first tests of the new pivot ball suspension were very successful, so already in the very early stages we knew and felt that this concept had HUGE potential...” “For me, the 2013 Euros was one of the most thrilling events to participate at. The new car - despite being an early prototype - was working tremendously, and I was able to battle for the win. David and I swapped the lead several times, and I finished in 2nd place within less than a second. That was without a doubt the tightest Euros result ever.” “I’ve been working as a Pro driver for three different companies, and honestly XRAY is the best for developing products; they listen to all the feedback and are very proactive. There is simply no equal.” “The speed of development at XRAY is second to none. Juraj is a real perfectionist and he kept us supplied with new parts to test and report back. This year, I have certainly wrenched the most in my racing career.”
