Caparo has released details of its high-end Race Extreme version of the Caparo T1. The vehicle is aimed specifically at full-on (and affluent) trackday enthusiasts and has been built with the company’s usual no-compromise approach to producing ultimate track performance projectiles. Engine power from the fuel injected V8 is 620bhp at 10,500rpm, and, coupled with the car’s flea-sized dry weight of 550kgs, is gutsy enough to propel the vehicle to 100mph in just 5.8seconds! Top speed is listed as 208mph.
Caparo has also bowed to customer demand and created a full climate pack, consisting of a plexiglass canopy and air conditioning. Canopy cost is £21,760, and an air-con unit can be fitted for an extra £3,750. The option can be installed on new orders as well as existing T1 models.
The car comes with fully adjustable suspension and aerodynamic packs, tuneable ECU, high-spec braking system, six-speed sequential gearbox and fully adjustable traction control system.
Other spec include an aerodynamic pack, fully adjustable suspension, ceramic brake discs, a tuneable ECU and a 6-speed sequential gearbox. A fully adjustable traction control system is part of this Race Extreme package. Total dry mass is 550kg (1,213 pounds). Together these and other components give the T1 up to 4g under braking and 3.5g in cornering.
