Blimey!The stock 1.8 litre engine has been replaced by an inline five cylinder 2.1 litre Audi turbo engine with two large intercoolers. The engine develops about 600-900 hp depending on the choice of turbo and setup. To make room for the larger engine, the inner fenders had to be replaced by chrome-molybden pipes
The larger engine did not leave any space for water or oil coolers in the front of the car so these had to be moved to the back with an air intake in the roof. The car is equipped with Alcon brakes with 375 mm front rotors and 355 mm rear rotors. Thanks to the wider kit-car flares, it is possible to use 10x19" rims with Bridgestone 265/30-19 or 12x20" rims with Bridgestone 285/30-20. The overall weight of the car is about 1440 kg.
Pretty serious bit of kit then!The rear subframe and suspension is a mix of Audi RS2 and Sport Quattro with titanium swaybars and magnesium suspension struts. The front subframe is custom built, also with titanium swaybars and magnesium suspension struts. The exhaust is built from 4.5" stainless steel pipes all the way from the turbo and back with a single muffler under the car. The transmission stems from an Audi IMSA car with a custom built final drive.
To further reduce weight, many of the stock parts have been replaced by correspondning parts made from carbon fibre. For example, the instrument panel, door trims, hood and bumpers have all been replaced by carbon fibre dittos. The stock seats have been removed in favor of Recaro carbon fibre sport seats with 6-point harness belts. All windows are made from lexan plastic.
Sub 4-second 0-60s are old hat, anyone seen the Dialynx Quattro doing 0-60 in 2.39 seconds at Inters 2002, now THAT's scary stuff.
