If you are still looking for a relatively affordable scheurijzer that the circuit would not look out of place, then you do well to look to the Sin R1.

The Sin R1 made over a year ago its debut in Goodwood. We predicted then that this project was actually likely to succeed, because the creators without shouting a driving prototype to the track sent to. Meanwhile, the R1 is almost ready for production, and you can also order it at Sin Cars. This company is originally German, but moved to the Uk Hinckley for the car to be able to produce.

The R1 has a 6.2-liter V8 from Chevrolet with 450 horsepower under the hood, but that is not the most interesting feat of the car. The car weighs just 1.100 kilograms thanks to a lightweight tubular frame and all other materials and components, which you normally especially in racing and filters down. The sheet metal is for example made of carbon fiber. This ensures that you are in 3.5 seconds to 100 km/h is tapped, and the R1 has a top speed of over 300 km/h. In addition, promise the creators that you are, on average, 1 in 10 can drive, but that seems to us a very optimistic assessment.

The R1 is also in other areas, equipped as a racing car. For example, it is shipped with 19-inch alloy wheels, a fuel tank in a Formula 1-style (for quick refueling), double wishbone suspension and two leather sports seats. Sin Cars promises every year to 120, and R1’s on the road to be able to send, the delivery start by the end of the year.
