Serpent designer David Ehrbar and Serpent are very proud to be able to release this new innovative and high performance 4X EVO car to the market.

As the car is so different, Serpent will spend even more time to prepare information on assembly, set-up and maintenance of the Project 4X EVO car, in text, images and video, to help you to learn and understand the concept and unleash its full potential faster. Although at first the Project 4X EVO car may look a bit complicated, after some explaining, you will soon understand it’s actually quite simple and really easy to work with. But the main advantage is that it is very easy to drive and at the same time lightning fast. Innovation Performs. The Serpent Project 4X EVO is here!
