Revolution Racecars Unveils Lightweight Track Warrior With 350PS

Revolution Racecars, a company founded by Phil Abbott, has presented its first product, a track car that has yet to be named.

The new track model has a lightweight construction with a carbon fiber tub, tipping the scales at 750 kg (1,653 lbs), or 75 kg (165 lbs) more than initially announced.

The added weight is justified by the extra power: 350 PS (345 hp / 257 kW) instead of 300 PS (296 hp / 221 kW), produced by the 3.7-liter V6 engine that comes from Ford. Directing the output to the rear wheels is a 3MO six-speed sequential transmission.

According to its creators, the car benefits from “ultra-sharp throttle response”, thanks to the fine engine tuning. Also, the exhaust system, described as “unique”, provides it with “a brilliant soundtrack”.

The newly-formed brand claims that “proven reliability is a key component within the package”. Thus, the engine’s performance is said to be matched by the low running costs, as it can do 10,000 km (6,214 miles), or 100 hours between rebuilds.

On the outside, not much has changed compared to the official rendering released by Revolution Racecars back in September.

There are still no images available of the dashboard. Apparently everything is controlled through the buttons and switches mounted on the steering wheel, similar to what we can find in Formula 1 cars.

Revolution Racecars will launch the track model in due course. Pricing is expected to start at under £100,000 ($129,660/€113,837) in the United Kingdom.
