The new road-going Sin R1 supercar has been unveiled at the Autosport International show.
The R1 has been developed as a joint collaboration between Munich-based Sin Cars GmbH and British supplier ProFormance Metals. It’s powered by a Chevrolet-sourced 6.2-litre V8 engine that produces around 450bhp. Sin says the R1 has a top speed of 186mph, and can sprint from 0-60mph in less than five seconds.
The new road-going model features 19-inch wheels, performance brake discs and a Formula 1-style FIA-approved fuel tank. Like the track-only version, which was seen at the Autosport show last year and made its dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the road-going R1 features lightweight materials like carbonfibre in its construction.
In final production form it’s likely that the R1 will utilise a tubular spaceframe chassis with a carbonfibre composite structure on top. Sin says the road car weighs in at some 240kg heavier than its track-only sibling, at 1200kg.
The R1 will be assembled in Germany and the UK, with Sin looking to purchase a new site in this country to house a purpose-built facility and test track.
CEO Rosen Daskalov told Autocar: “We will use lessons learned from the race car to inform what we do with the road car. Our idea is not to produce something like a hypercar, we want a car that is well balanced and that will feel good on the corners and at high speeds. This can only be done using race car technology.”
