The Chassis

This two seat A-arm all chrome-molly chassis, was built by Jimco in El Cajon, California. Based on its structural integrity and overall handling, the choice to go with a Jimco chassis was an easy decision. Given the quality and reputation of the Jimco product, and the relationship built with them over the past several years, AGM considers Jimco a key partner and an integral piece of the overall package.

Suspension

The suspension package for the AGM car includes a great pairing of the new Bilstein Blackhawk shock absorbers (featuring a 6061 aluminum body with superior cooling) and Eibach springs. The car has two shocks per wheel, one bypass shock (with external adjustment capabilities) to provide for fine tuning, and one dual coil-over shock to provide a smooth ride. Depending on the severity of the terrain, the Eibach springs allow for additional tuning of the suspension with different spring rates to be applied.

The Engine

The AGM car utilizes a 2001BMW E39 engine, straight out of a BMW M5. The M5 is the pinnacle sports sedan from BMW, providing 394 BHP at 6600 rpm and 368 ft. lbs. of torque at 3800 rpm (in its stock configuration). Utilizing Dinan components, a new exhaust and other modifications, the BMW engine package is capable of 500+ BHP, while maintaining a configuration designed to run for 200,000 miles on the street (or 3,000 miles in Baja).
The BMW engine package is definitely a signature mark of the AGM car. It is the only vehicle in it’s class utilizing a BMW engine, giving the AGM team a proven and competitive advantage. The impressive heritage and reputation of BMW Motorsports on road courses and the off-road performance of the AGM car dispels any doubts that this vehicle is destined for the podium.

Transaxle

The AGM car is equipped with a cutting edge Xtrac 383 6-Speed sequential racing transaxle with limited slip differential.

Clutch

We are utilizing a carbon fiber ZF Sachs clutch and torque limiter.

Lights

With the races often running well into the night,  reliable and proper lighting is a necessity. The AGM car utilizes nine Baja Designs Sol Tek High Intensity Discharge lights. These superior lights provide excellent illumination of the race course, thereby allowing the the car to maintain a nighttime race speed very close to daylight speeds.

Seats

The comfortable and stable positioning of the RECARO seats in the car allow for the drivers to push the limits through corners, as the firm seating prevents the g-forces from sliding them around.

Tires

BFGoodrich Project T/A tires offer amazing protection against flats, which is a must in the unpredictable and rough Baja terrain.
