Arrinera Hussarya GT Racer
Arrinera has introduced
its first ever GT-Class racer, the Hussarya GT, at Autosport International.
The race-spec Hussarya GT carries a
mid-mounted 6.2-liter V8 engine that can produce around 430 hp, complying with
the GT4 class rules. The unit is connected to a six-speed sequential
transmission, with paddle shifters, that sends power to the rear wheels.
Stopping the Hussarya GT is an Alcon
brake system that consists of six-piston brake calipers and 380 mm in diameter
brake discs. To make the brakes even more controllable, the automaker used the
Bosch Motorsport ABS Kit.
The Arrinera Hussarya GT uses a
space-frame chassis made of steel tubes that meets the FIA requirements. Thanks
to the high-quality materials used in its construction such as carbon fiber and
Kevlar, the weight stands at just 1,250 kg. As you would have
expected from a race car, it gets a push-rod type suspension with Ohlins
dampers and springs, specifically designed for it.
Its design is determined by
aerodynamics, as the automaker states, and some of its highlights include the
aviation-inspired air intake on the roof, large rear spoiler and huge diffuser
that contribute to its aerodynamic efficiency.
Inside it carries a Cosworth Intelligent
Color Display that shows crucial live data of the car, a Corbeau bucket seat
and "only the most-needed switches".
The GT4 racer will be built in only two
or three examples within the next year, but a road-going version, "largely
similar", is expected by the end of the year, along with a higher-end
exclusive model, named the Hussarya 33. Arrinera's Hussarya GT will stand in the
£ 130,000-140,000 zone (US$ 186,380-200,717) and it's planned to start testing in
the UK.
