Caparo has revealed that its T1 can now come in a Race Extreme version. Specifically aimed at the high end trackday market the Caparo T1 Race Extreme is an enhanced spec of the normal T1. The all aluminium normally aspirated, fuel injected Caparo V8 engine has been upgraded to deliver 620bhp at 10,500rpm.
The Race Extreme spec includes fully adjustable suspension and aerodynamic packs, ultra light six-pot front and four-pot rear monoblock billet machined aluminium calipers complete with a titanium pistons, 355mm x 35mm ceramic discs and pads set up and a fully tunable ECU.
The car boasts some impressive numbers, 0-62mph in 2.8secs, 0-100mph in 5.8secs, top speed 208mph, 4g on braking and 3.5g from cornering and a dry weight of 550kgs. The only number they seemed to have forgotten to tell us is the price. Given that the normal spec is sold for around £180,000. I’m going to go out on a limb and say ‘it will be more than that’.
