The SuperCar Lites will be powered by a Ford derived 2.4 liter, naturally aspirated, 4-cylinder engine, built by Mountune which produces around 300 horsepower – about half of the SuperCars. However, the SuperCar Lites cars will also have a 6-speed sequential gearbox and differentials from Sadev, which are also used in the SuperCars. The powertrain is not cheap, but is guaranteed for 1000km of use – enough for an estimated season and a half of mileage. A large aluminum radiator is mounted above the radiator and receives cooling air from a large scoop integrated into the roof and rear clamshell bodywork. |
Unlike the front-engined SuperCars, the SuperCar Lites will have their engines behind the driver, mounted longitudinally. The Sadev gearbox and rear differential are one unit, similar to an open-wheel car. Olsbergs MSE's SuperCars use the same gearbox. |
A new AEM Infinity ECU keeps tabs on the OMSE-spec’d 2.4 liter engine. The Infinity is a small, flexible unit that has a sealed, weatherproof construction – perfect for a rallycross car. AEM’s on-site engineers reported the ability to tune a car on the dyno in a fraction of the time as any other engine management system, even without a base map to start with. |
Both the front and rear of the cars have tubular crash structures to protect some of the more expensive bits. |
The interior is clean and well laid out, with Sparco seats, harnesses, and two-spoke rally steering wheel. An AIM MXL computer lets the driver keep an eye on the vitals. |
