You've probably heard about the Caparo T1 - a lightweight British supercar developed by the same engineers that brought us the McLaren F1. Well, now Caparo has revealed an even more hardcore variant of the T1 aimed specifically at the high end of the track day market. In the Race Extreme Specification, the T1 boasts a more powerful V8 engine as well as several other mechanical upgrades.
In detail, the Caparo T1 Race Extreme is powered by an upgraded version of the standard car's normally aspirated, 3.5-liter V8 engine delivering an extra 45-horsepower for a total output of 620bhp at 10,500 rpm.
The race specification also adds fully adjustable suspension and aerodynamic packs, ultra light 6-pot front and 4-pot rear monoblock billet machined aluminum calipers complete with titanium pistons, and 355mm x 35mm ceramic discs and pads set up.
Furthermore, Caparo's engineers upgraded the T1's electronic package that contains an adjustable traction control and a fully tuneable ECU which allows the driver to fiddle around with the engine mapping and the six speed sequential gear box. Prices have yet to be announced.
