SPR1 - Porsche look alike super car

The latest addition to its ultra high performance SPR1 range of 997 based super cars is the T80. Conceived, designed and constructed in Switzerland by SPORTEC's technical team, the new version of the SPR1 offers unrivalled super car performance and exclusivity.

The T80 builds upon the performance of the SPR1 range by increasing the power of its bi-turbo, 3.6-litre, 24-valve, flat six T80M engine to a staggering 858 bhp, which, when combined with the benefits of permanent four-wheel drive, creates a benchmark blend of poise and performance.

This means that each of the SPR1 T80's four wheels channels 214.5 bhp to the tarmac, akin to having a VW Golf GTi powering each tyre, yet the SPR1's bi-turbo engine remains fully Euro IV emissions compliant. The SPORTEC SPR1 T80 enjoys super car performance, taking a mere 3.0 seconds to hit 100kmh, with 300kmh appearing in just 18.9 seconds. A top speed of more than 236mph has been recorded at Nardo, Italy.

Technically, the SPR1 T80 boasts highlights including titanium connecting rods, a flat carbon fibre under floor, active suspension and F1 style ceramic brake discs. The use of composite carbon/ Kevlar body panels, forged alloy wheels, an integrated safety cage and ceramic brake discs allows the SPR1 to be lighter, safer and more dynamic than other cars in its class.

Available in a choice of colours, the SPR1 T80 boasts a number of exclusive styling and interior touches, including lightweight 20 inch forged alloy wheels, a carbon fibre rear wing and leather/ alcantara interior.
