Midlands based Westfield Sportscars Ltd.(stand 62),
will be launching its new racing car at the London Motorsport Show on December
8 and 9 at Excel to celebrate the company’s Jubilee year.
The AeroRace
car has a lightweight chassis based on the top of the range Westfield Sport
S. Combined with a lightweight race loom
and bodywork, the vehicle achieves a dry weight of only 520kg.
A 2 litre,
170 bhp Ford Zetec engine ensures spontaneous power and performance. Using Webcon throttle bodies the engine
delivers peak power at 6000 rpm, and a very flat torque curve delivers over
140Nm from 3000rpm upwards. 0-60mph is
achieved in 5 seconds.
The standard
vehicle specification focuses on safety and performance with an FIA roll cage,
fully plumbed in fire extinguisher, four pot aluminium billet brakes with
adjustable brake bias, revolution 13” alloy wheels with Dunlop race
specification tyres, 5 point race harness, lightweight carbon effect dash and
front wings. A catalyst exhaust ensuring
compliance with future regulation changes, keeps costs down. High quality components are used throughout
to provide a highly competitive package.
The AeroRace car is priced at £15495
inc. VAT for a fully built vehicle, or £13495 inc. VAT for a comprehensive kit
for self build.
The new AeroRace car is designed for
the BARC Westfield Sports Car one make race series and will run as Class A in
the 2008 Championship. This highly competitive Championship runs twelve rounds
as part of the Dunlop Great and British Race Series, and offers some of the
best value racing in the UK.
Including the purchase of a factory built car, one year’s competitive racing in
2008 could be had for as little as £18,000!
