You could even argue that current production cars are using a mostly "off the shelf" EPS that is easily adaptable to a production vehicle.
There simply are EPS systems commonly available in European production vehicles and likely other non-US markets that are not found in any combination in North America so it isn't surprising to me that the "Dutch" offering is a little different.
The plus to all of this EPS technology is that so far they all seem to apply themselves very well to this application and do not over boost like many of the US hydraulic PS systems seem to do.
The biggest challenge in building one for the Pantera is finding a "doner" that will physically fit into the extremely limited space available in the Pantera as simply as possible. Everything else seems trivial by comparison.
I would be shocked if any current "super car" was built without one now. It is such an obvious addition.
Don’t know if it’s true… But I heard this EPS is from a Fiat panda…
I looked at the Powersteering from the Fiat 124… The new version and the electric part is part of the steering rack - very tight very neat..
