Xtreme Automobiles are pleased to release the first pictures of the X-Works X1 Concept Car, these pictures were taken just prior to the car leaving to go to the Autosport International Show.
The X1 Concept Car uses a unique carbon composite technology for the manufacture of the cars passenger cell. Attached to this are lightweight aluminium and carbon subframes carrying the drivetrain components.
The composite technology provides an incredibly stiff platform and also helps keep the cars weight down to a lightweight 1180kg. Combined with the race honed chassis and phenomenal 4 cylinder turbo charged 350 bhp engine, this provides truly electrifying performance. Tuning options of up to 500 bhp are of course available, Recaro CS seats are fitted as standard. There is also a 1000 kg competition version planned for those increasingly popular track days or outright competition use.
The cars designers, Andrew Borrowman and Sean Prendergast, studied Automotive Design Engineering at the University of Hertfordshire, following which they worked at Rover, Panther Cars and Grand Prix Engineering Services between them. They have also run their own composites company designing and manufacturing for the likes of Prodrive, Alvis and JCB, just to name a few.
Projected retail price for the X1 is £45,000 and i'm sure you must agree, this is tremendous value, given the technology and performance this sportscar offers.
Concept Specification :
2 Seat Concept
Carbon Tub
Aluminium Subframes and Suspension
2 Litre Turbo Charged 350-500 BHP
4 Wheel Drive
18" Lightweight Alloys with 235/40 Tyres
1180kg Road Car
1000kg Track Car
