| It'd look something like this... The Skelta G-Force and Spyder... or rubbish names but... The G-Force (with a detachable targa top) starts at £66,000, while the wide-tracked Spyder version starts at £99,000 - both fitted with (of course) a supercharged Honda 2.0 VTEC making 340bhp. - Quote :
- It's a fair chunk of cash, but as the makers say this car will arrive off the boat ready to 'clean up in GT racing', it might be an interesting option for some.
"Most road-going competition cars require a myriad of costly upgrades to make them fully competitive," says a news release from the importer, Skelta Racecars Europe. "The super-light, ultra-tough Skeltas on the other hand leave the factory with all the power, handling and braking they require to win out of the box.
The suspension comprises rose-jointed double wishbones front and rear, linked to inboard MCA Proflex spring and damper units, and the set-up is fully adjustable for track, camber, caster and toe. There are ventilated discs and four-pot callipers front and rear, while heavily finned front air intakes, sizeable rear wing and diffuser form part of a 'cutting edge' aerodynamic package, which exerts 200kg of downforce at 90mph.
Coupled to a 50/50 weight distribution this results in phenomenal cornering power - small wonder that the car is so competitive, whatever its environment, says Skelta. Roll on Top Gear 14... The Skelta vs The Atom... | |
