WEBER FASTER ONE
Legendary Swiss precision is longer limited to
the domain of creating of the world’s most prestigious chronographs. Using a
unique combination of high-tech engineering and uncompromising innovative
styling geared toward maximum aerodynamic efficiency, Weber Sportcars from
Tobel in the Swiss canton Thurgau develops and builds the world’s fastest
street-legal sports car.
The Weber Sportcars
supercar is powered by a V10 engine with a displacement of 5,600 ccm, 4-valves,
dry-sump and two turbo chargers with intercooler. The engine is a complete
redesign.
The stainless-steel
exhaust system features metal catalysts with low back pressure as well as a
muffler bypass valve for an impressive sound experience. The engine management
system stems from the world of car racing and orchestrates the perfect
interaction of all components and parameters. At the same time buttons on the
steering wheel give the driver the option to select different mappings to
adjust power output and throttle response to the specific driving situation.
The engine electronics also are responsible for meeting strigtest EURO IV
exhaust emission limits.
The twin-supercharger
engine delivers 1200 bhp / 882.3 kW at 7,000 rpm and produces a peak torque of
1,250 Nm at 4,200 rpm.
The transmission was a
proprietary development by Weber Sportcars which also is built in-house. The
semi-automatic sequential six-speed gearbox is operated via shift paddles on
the steering wheel, the method of choice in today’s super sports cars. Of
special importance was an extremely short shift time of just 40 milliseconds
between gears, as well as maximum durability under the enormous strain of 1,250
Nm of cut-wrenching torque.
The intelligent
all-wheel drive system with dynamic power distribution to all four wheels is also
a proprietary development from Weber Sportcars. Electronically controlled
differentials ensure maximum traction under all road conditions and thus always
the best-possible acceleration. Up to 36 percent of the engine’s power is
transferred to the front wheels.
The combination of
light-weight design, enormously powerful engine, high-end four-wheel drive, an
active traction control system derived from Formula One racing and innovative
aerodynamics gives the Weber Sportcars supercar acceleration times previously
only attained by purebred racecars. The two-seater sprints from rest to 100
km/h in just 2.5 seconds and reaches 200 km/h after just 6.6 seconds. Thanks to
its favorable power-to-weight ratio and exceptionally low drag it passes the
300 km/h-mark after just 16.2 seconds. Top speed is more than 400 km/h.
Steering Wheel with
Shift lights, Paddle Control, Launch Control, Differential Control, Speed
Control, Pit Speed Limiter and Driver Functions. The Integrated WEBER SPORTCARS
Digital Dashboard (DDU) have a lot of
race functions, which all are controlled by the steering wheel.
