SECANT Vehicle Engineering debuts new product offerings for Lotus vehicles. Products include complete powertrain replacements for all 2005-2008 Lotus Elise and Exige sports cars. Additionally Secant offers a Brembo® Gran Turismo brake upgrade with wheel & tire packages designed to accommodate the larger brakes.
Type I Supercharged Power Package
SECANT engineers have developed the GM Ecotec™ 2.0L supercharged powertrain for substantial gains in horsepower and torque over the stock powerplant while maintaining the refinement of the factory package. Power is increased to 280 HP @ 6600 RPM and torque to 241 lb-ft @ 4500 RPM. The Roots-blown four-cylinder reaches a maximum boost of 17 PSI.
The power package is designed for long term reliability and backed by a limited powertrain warranty - 12 months / unlimited miles, extendable to 24 months / unlimited miles.
In addition, SECANT offers many powertrain options and accessories. For details contact SECANT Vehicle Engineering, or go to http://www.secantvehicles.com
Type II Supercharged Power Package
SECANT Vehicles is currently developing a Type II power package based on the Type I powertrain with upwards of 300 + HP. Type II includes the Type I package and adds: 7800 rpm redline; Ultra-high strength internals for increased RPM limit; upgraded intercooling and dry sump lubrication; software functionality includes octane switching – fuel modes for premium unleaded or 100-octane on-demand and includes software to revert to safe mode automatically. The Type II package will be available in mid 2008.
Brembo® Gran Turismo Brake Package
SECANT and Brembo® worked together to develop a big brake upgrade to provide additional stopping power to match the powertrain upgrades and expected high performance driving environment of these vehicles. The front-brake package offers the largest swept area available featuring 328 x 28 mm drilled and vented 2 piece cast iron floating rotors with billet aluminum hats for superior durability. The 4-piston calipers incorporate the Brembo® logo and are available in red, black, and silver finishes.
Wheel & Tire Packages
SECANT Vehicles has selected wheel & tire packages from Team Dynamics for Lotus vehicles that are designed to accommodate the Brembo® brake package. The wheel/tire packages offer an additional 30 mm of contact patch at each wheel and are optimized for exceptional balance both on road or track – especially when paired with the additional power and performance of the Type I Supercharged package. Wheel, tire, and Brembo® brake packages are available separately.
