Tubular Frame Evo?
Was looking at the lambo chassis and noticed the front and rear being tubular
has anyone/company made an evo with a tubular front and rear to lighten the weight of the car?
Just curious overall and interested to possibly do this in the future

Surely you have seen these sub-frames?
Plenty of guys running the rear tubulars
Heres a great thread on the front frame

A lot of hard-core race cars do the front, but it would be really difficult to build one to support all the OEM stuff needed to be street driven, if that's what you are thinking. It's possible, but someone would need to take the time to have all the mounting points in place. It would be NICE to have body panels pop off and have access to the entire engine. Especially if the radiator support was easily removable.
If my car ever goes "full race car", I'll be looking into doing just that.

This company makes front and rears for a lot of different platforms. I just received mine yesterday for the rear and plan to order a front for next season.
Shipping only took 4 days to my front door

Generally full race car evo's will get a tubular/light weight front and rear sub frame, and teams will cut the unibody forward of the motor mounts and built a tubular core support. Full tube chassis generally doesn't get built because most people race these cars in classes that require the stock/production based unibody, even if it is heavily altered.
If building a complete tube chassis car there much better drivetrain layouts to use since you're starting from a clean slate, so using the Evo stuff probably wouldn't happen, even if you made the car AWD.

the goal was to use the evo body and build the front and rear similiar to how the lambo was built thinking it would shave off a ton of weight.
But this is just am idea I had to see if it has been done by someone or not

By "sub frames" I meant people replace the factory pieces with tubular ones. They don't cut the front and rear structures off the car.
