Darrian GTR New Build

Darrian GTR – 325bhp Ford EcoBoost Turbo – Hewland LLS GT3 – Fresh Build – Huge Spares Package Available

A rare opportunity to purchase an exceptionally well-built and meticulously maintained Ford EcoBoost-powered Darrian GTR, offering outstanding performance, proven reliability and a very low-use drivetrain.

The car has completed just one event since its total rebuild and has been maintained to the highest standard throughout its life, achieving an outstanding 100% event finish record.

A £20,000 spares package is also available by separate negotiation at a fraction of its replacement cost.

Engine

Powered by a professionally built 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost turbo engine, producing:

• 325bhp and 520Nm of torque with a 34mm rally restrictor on Carless TurboUltimate DEV2 fuel.

Engine specification includes:

• Fully CNC ported cylinder head
• SBD competition profile camshafts
• Omega forged pistons
• Saenz steel connecting rods
• 7.25″ lightweight steel flywheel
