Some of you were asking us about a sharp looking white supercar that participated in the famous hill-climb at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend. The mid-engine sports car in question is the new R1 from Sin, a German company based in Munich that specializes in building racers for private customers and which now has ventured in the car-making business.

Before making its dynamic debut in Goodwood, the R1 was presented to the public this past January at the 2013 Autosport International event.

Built around a tubular spaceframe chassis and carbon composite passenger cell that helps keep weight down to just 1,200kg (2,645 pounds with a weight ratio of 40/60), the R1 sports a General Motors-sourced LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine rated for 525 PS (equal to 518 HP) driving the rear wheels through a Graziano 6-speed manual gearbox.

It is said that the R1 is able to complete the 0-100km/h sprint in well under 3.0 seconds and reach a top speed of over 320km/h (198+mph). Some other tidbits mentioned by Sin include the use of an AP Racing brake system (362 mm front /rear racing calipers), a Titan steering rack, and 19-inch wheels in tires size 265/35 and 325/30 front and rear respectively.

Sin added that it plans to offer both track-only and street legal versions of the R1. Pricing has not yet been disclosed.
