The heart of the matter: bittersweet 400 hp
The soul of this backdate is a masterfully modified 3.2-liter boxer engine. Nothing was left to chance here:
- Performance setup: New pistons, cylinders, and camshafts form the foundation.
- Turbo power: A specially tuned Garrett turbocharger combined with a custom-made exhaust system ensures brutal power delivery.
- Control: A modified wastegate valve regulates the boost pressure up to 1.4 bar, generating a peak output of approximately 400 hp.
Chassis & dynamics: Precision without compromise
To bring this performance to the asphalt, the technology has been catapulted into the 21st century:
- Öhlins suspension: A coilover suspension specially designed and tuned for this vehicle replaces the old torsion bar springs.
- Chassis upgrade: Conversion to Unibal joints and reinforced stabilizers for razor-sharp handling.
- Brakes: A massive RSR 6-piston brake system provides deceleration values on par with modern supercars.
- Rims: Authentic 18" Braid Wheels, the first choice in rallying, underline the powerful appearance.
Interior & design:
