Conceived, designed and constructed in Switzerland by SPORTECs technical team, the new version of the SPR1 offers unrivalled supercar performance and exclusivity, carrying over the 858PS bi-turbo, 3.6-litre, 24-valve, flat six T80M engine and permanent four wheel drive of the previous version. Likewise the SPORTEC SPR1Rs specification includes the titanium connecting rods, a flat carbon fibre under floor, active suspension and F1 style ceramic brake discs of other SPR1 models, while the use of composite (carbon / Kevlar) body panels, forged alloy wheels, an integrated safety cage and ceramic brake discs allows the SPR1 to be lighter, safer and more dynamic than other cars in its class. For 2010, the SPR1R boasts a number of detail improvements. Firstly, by concentrating on weight reduction across a variety of key components, SPORTECs technicians have managed to reduce the weight of the SPR1R by 50 kilograms, to a total of 1295 kilos. This development makes the SPR1R one of the lightest supercars on the market (a Bugatti Veyron weighs 1990 kilos for comparison) and enhances the SPR1Rs power to weight ratio to a staggering 655 bhp per ton. In addition, SPORTEC has added a driver adjustable traction control system, managed via a touch screen mounted in the centre console. This unit also doubles as a vehicle data logger and lap timer, which also allows owners to monitor key engine data in real time. These combined improvements have yielded considerable performance benefits. While the 0-62mph (100kmh) time is unchanged at 3.0 seconds, the 300 kmh (186mph) increment arrives 0.9 seconds quicker than previously, highlighting the effectiveness of the changes. The quoted top speed of more than 236mph remains unaltered Available in a choice of colours, the SPR1R boasts a number of exclusive SPORTEC styling and interior touches, including lightweight 20 inch forged alloy wheels, a carbon fibre rear wing and leather / alcantara interior. Subtle, exclusive yet very useable and designed to deliver unrivalled performance, the 2010 SPR1R is designed to stay ahead of the supercar competition. APS of Brackley is the UK concession for SPORTEC, and APS / SPORTEC is delighted that the 2010 SPR1R will be making its British debut at the prestigious Salon Privé show at Londons Hurlingham club, between 21st-23rd July. 2010 MY SPORTEC SPR1R Technical Data Engine type Six cylinder boxer engine Displacement 3600cc Bore/stroke 100 x 76.4mm Compression ratio 9.0:1 Power output 858PS @ 8200rpm Torque output 642lb.ft @ 4800rpm Engine management Bosch ME 7.8 SPORTEC MFC G4.0 Fuel quality 98 RON unleaded Idle speed 820rpm Max engine speed 1st gear 8700rpm 2nd-5th gear 8500rpm 6th gear 8200rpm Emissions standard Euro IV Transmission Six-speed manual, four wheel drive Gear ratios: 1st 3.82 2nd 2.05 3rd 1.41 4th 1.12 5th 0.92 6th 0.75 Reverse gear 2.86 Final drive ratio 3.44 Speed at 1000rpm in 6th gear 30.76mph Clutch disc diameter 240mm Chassis Front axle Light alloy links with McPherson struts, uniball top mounts Rear axle Multi link suspension, uniball top mounts Steering Electric power steering Steering ratio 1:16.9 Steering from lock to lock 2.98 Brakes Front: 8 piston light alloy calliper Rear: 4 piston light alloy calliper Brake discs Front: Cross drilled and ventilated ceramic 380 x 34mm discs Rear: Cross drilled and ventilated ceramic 322 x 28mm discs Wheels Front: 9J x 20 inch 30mm offset Rear: 12.5J x 20 inch 40mm offset Tyres Front: 255/30 R20 92Y XL Rear: 345/25 R20 100Y Weights Kerb weight (DIN)* 1295 KG Front / rear weight distribution 40/60 *Depending on equipment Dimensions Length 4467mm Width 1878mm Height 1275mm Wheelbase 2350mm Track front: 1550mm Rear: 1564mm Fuel capacity 64 litres Performance Maximum speed Over 236mph (380kmh) Acceleration: 0-100kmh (62 mph) 3.0 seconds 0-200kmh (124mph) 8.6 seconds 0-300kmh (186mph) 18.9 seconds Power to weight ratio 655 bhp per ton Bhp per litre 238 |
