A Different Kind of Supercar

[Hotrodpaul]

I just wanted to share pics of one of our Customers car with fellow gear heads. Although it is not American big block ground pounding iron, it is the most wickedly accelerating car I have ever ridden in. Here are the specs:

Chassis - Caterham 7
Engine - Custom built 2.4 liter V8, 5 valves per cylinder, 400 Hp @ 10,500 RPM
Transmission - Sequential 6 speed (I think?)
Weight without Driver - 1100 Lbs

The engine is basically two Yamaha R1 heads on a custom made block with belt driven camshafts, and is a work of art.

Check it out:



Additional photos of the car and engine/driveline can be seen at www.rst-v8.com

The car was built in the UK and now resides in Dubai.

Some estimated performance specs:

0-60 MPH - under 3 seconds
Quarter Mile - Mid to High 9 sec @ 140 - 145 MPH.

Overall it scared the #### out of me.

Thought yall would like it.
