Dahler Roding Roadster R1
This German tuner
focused its engineering expertise on the exclusive Roding Roadster R1 as well.
Made by Roding Automobile GmbH, the
Roadster is a two-seater medium-sized, mid-engine sports car with a carbon
chassis, made to perform on the track.
The collaboration between the two
companies was possible thanks to Dahler’s years of experience in optimizing BMW
engines, as the aforementioned sports car is powered by a Bavarian-built
powerplant. Actually, it was purposefully designed by BMW to fit in the
transverse layout of the Roding Roadster, instead of the longitudinal like in
its own models.
Daehler Design & Technik GmbH is
offering the BMW N54 straight six-cylinder in two stages of tune: with 408 HP, 540 Nm of torque and a maximum speed of 300 km/h, and 450
HP, 620 Nm of torque and a 310 km/h top speed.
Just imagine that the vehicles weighs below 950 kg which translates to a
power to weight ratio below 3 kg/HP.
