It was back at Autosport International in 2014 when the British Sin S1 sports car was unveiled in road-going production spec. At this year’s show, a bright orange Sin S1 was also displayed as were yellow and green examples prepped specifically for racing dubbed the R1 GTB.
Powered by a 444 hp Chevrolet V8 engine and tipping the scales at just 1100 kg, it is claimed that the Sin R1 will be capable of hitting a top speed of 270 km/h. It will also feature 19-inch wheels, 363 mm disc brakes and a Formula One style fuel tank. The engine will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission with a paddle shift ‘box set to be offered in the future. As a result, it should hit 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
As for the Sin R1 GTB’s on display, they feature bespoke bodywork and aerodynamic elements to provide maximum downforce and to stick the British sports car to the track.
