Description
Rare Genuine Cosworth GT86 in what is the now rare and sought after Burnt Orange (Hot Lava) with a insanely rare factory light grey leather and alcantara interior which was only available during 2014 on premium spec cars. You wont find another one of these!
If you aren't familiar with the Cosworth GT86 then do a quick google as reviews were done by Pistonheads, TopGear, Autoexpress and Car magazine.
Not to be confused with cars which have had Cosworth parts DIY fitted by owners in their own garages. This is the real deal. Converted officially by Cosworth authorised dealer Amber Performance (two whole folders of paperwork and receipts documenting the full history of this car) and mapped by Cosworth themselves for super reliability. This car features a dyno proven 301.6bhp Cosworth Supercharged engine coupled with a full Cosworth sports cat exhaust system and retaining the original factory front cat, so it always cruises through every MOT without a single advisory.
The full Cosworth package includes huge 6 pot Cosworth/APRacing Front Brakes on 355mm discs and is matched with APRacing 4 pot Rear Brakes on 335mm discs. Naturally there are braided hoses all round and DS3000/DS2500 pads. At around 1300kgs kerb weight this car can out brake a lot of supercars.
Coupled with the superb longer gear ratioed and incredibly underrated 6 speed flappy paddle automatic gearbox (which is super fast shifting and actually stronger than the manual if you can keep it cool) this car is a track day monster. And to manage temperatures this car has been sensibly equipped with a Mishimoto engine oil cooler, a Stark Performance Auto gearbox oil cooler and a Greddy differential cooler plate. To monitor things the car has a digital Scanguage 2 which shows live engine/gearbox temps straight from the ECU OBD port and engine oil pressure (the one thing the ECU cannot report) is presented via a ProSport Oil Pressure gauge.
The OEM suspension is superb on these cars and has been left untouched. The body is super stiff with just enough roll to give you communication on what the car is doing, so no need to change this as the Toyota engineers knew best. The only two chassis/suspension improvements made are in the form of a Swave & Summit Strut Brace (with integrated Brake Stopper to improve pedal feel) which makes the front feel noticeably stiffer and an MCA Traction Mod Kit fitted to the rear lower arms (which reduces the angle of the rear arms which helps transmit engine power to the ground
