What you see is a super sports car that looks like a shark, formerly known as Freescream T 1. Once this project was staged, it was favored by Caparo Group, the largest individual enterprise in Britain. This enterprise was founded by Lord Swraj Paul, an Indian-born British industrialist, and mainly provides structural parts and mechanical parts for the automobile industry. Because Freescream urgently needs a lot of carbon fiber and aluminum to realize the "soul" of T 1, it has to be renamed Caparo T 1. The prefix "t" seems to be moving closer to "f" intentionally or unintentionally, but it really looks like T 1 in shape (bird's eye view). However, the name is not the most important thing, what matters is whether it will make you shine when we see it!
Yes, Caparo T 1 is a legal road sports car. It looks strange in appearance and uses a lot of F 1 technology. The most amazing thing is that its only selling point is the power-to-weight ratio. What is the power to weight ratio? Give a simple example: two sprinters with equal strength, one is fat and the other is thin. The fat man carries a big bag and the thin man goes into battle lightly. Of course, the victory basically belongs to the latter (if they play normally, the possibility of wrestling halfway is not ruled out ...); T 1 Try to keep your weight light, so that you can take off your only sportswear when sprinting. ...
We can see his impulsive behavior directly. If you are a careful person, you will find that T 1 has no rearview mirror … right? A motor vehicle without rearview mirrors will mean that the driver has lost his eyes. Of course, T 1 wouldn't be so careless. On the contrary, it is smart. The rearview mirror of T 1 is hidden in the wheel arch above the front wheel, which can be seen clearly in the cockpit. In order to reduce the weight of vehicles, T 1 made such a "crazy" and wise design.
Look again, four O.Z pure magnesium alloy wheels are planted on each tire of T 1; Acrylic roof and oversized carbon fiber spoiler let you see the shadow of F 1; Still not light enough? For the rear engine, it has been "surgically" cut at the front end of the front. You can see its steering shaft directly with the naked eye, and the cut area is half of the original car.
Let's look at a set of comparative data of power-to-weight ratio, and you will suddenly realize that Bugatti Veyron has a power of 736kW, a weight of1.888kg, and a power-to-weight ratio of 389.8kW/ton. Mclaren F 1 power 468kW, weight 1 140kG, and power-weight ratio 4 10.5 kw/ ton. What about T 1? Equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V8 engine, the output power is 433 kW, and the lightweight body is reduced to 500 kg, which is equivalent to the XBOW weight of KTM. The final power-to-weight ratio of T 1 is an amazing 866 kW/ton...top gear professionals once said: T 1 is probably the best car on the top gear track! ! ! ! There is only a small amount of data for reference about the performance of T 1. 0- 100KM/H takes only 2.55 seconds, and what's even more staggering is that the acceleration of T 1 from 0- 160KM/H takes only 10 second. Let's imagine it exaggeratedly-the whole process is as crisp and neat as a fighter plane with its head held high and a fast start suddenly hitting a big obstacle (of course, although this metaphor is a little afraid of chaos, it is hard to imagine a more vivid and exciting scene)! ! 10 seconds ... T 1 What can you do to complete a beautiful "land flight" action? You can only be dumbfounded and pop up a few words: "Oh! My god ... "
The mid-engine is independently manufactured by Caparo team. 3.5 V8 supercharged engine replaces the small displacement V8 supercharged engine originally considered. The 6-speed Hewland sequential racing transmission is very harmonious with the engine. The control button is installed on the surface of the multi-directional steering wheel with a maximum power of 433kW. It will apply a torque of 408 Nm to the rear wheel at 9000 rpm! It is said that for the sake of reliability, the engine speed is limited below 10500 rpm, which can be much higher in theory! ! ! !
But the only pity is that T 1 has become the king of slimming, but the space in the cockpit has been compressed together. This small cockpit only allows two people to sit (I don't think anyone wants to squeeze together with the driver to "grab" the steering wheel), and you will sit on the floor and "fly close to the ground"; At the front of the cockpit, you can clearly see the operation of the electroplated shock absorber, which seems a bit risky, because you have to pay all your attention to the speed bump in front! The slim light-emitting diode is very sci-fi, and the "shark fin" air inlet at the top of the cockpit cover is very unique in design. Seeing it reminds me of the Gumpert Apolo sports car under the sun god's "cover"; The front end of the rear axle is obviously out of proportion to the front of the car because it is "thin". Looking down from above, this part is like a guitar drum, which can really bring you more beautiful "notes" than a guitar drum! !
The output of T 1 is very small, with a maximum of 20 vehicles per year, and the price is 6.5438+0.8 million pounds (excluding tax). The total output does not exceed 100, which is basically the same as that of McLaren. I am very much looking forward to seeing such a "beautiful" shark in the street, but it is hard to imagine who will be with it. Besides, the road conditions in China seem to really confirm that this "shark" will leave the ocean and cannot breathe! !
