There´s fast..and then there´s 380Hp/513Kg fast...

It´s a spaceframed 513Kg Hillclimb racing dedicated machine powered by a 380Hp Turbocharged GSXR-1000 engine...´nuff said..

This one will be quite fast...as the car itself. Over a decade ago, Spanish hillclimbing created a unique class to provide its competitors and Teams a way to produce cheap, fast racers capable of fighting for overall victories. Such class was called CM class and on its base were regulations that allowed the creation of unique spaceframed chassis while bolting on them the lightest, most competitive engine within budget limits. Given those, most teams went with the Suzuki GSX-R1000 engine.

Fast forward to our days and with the class being a commercial and competitive success, with units now running all over Europe, a new revision to the rules followed and a new class was added. CM+ is its name and now Wheelbase, width, and engine specifications can be explored with much more freedom.

Enter then Silver Car, one of the Teams that produce these beasts and decided to create the most extreme interpretation until now within this set of rules. The same GSX-R 1000 engine but Turbocharged for 380Hp, wider stance, more rubber, more Aero and still light as a feather, tipping the scales at 513Kg. The one you are about to see is being raced and developed by Multiple Portuguese Champion Pedro Salvador, has won the first race of the 2017 Championship and the goal is to reach the end of the year at 450Hp/470Kg... How crazy will that be we given the current speed will be mindboggling...
