Invicta S1
The idea is that the Invicta S1 is a luxury coupe in the style of the Jaguar XK, but with very good dynamic qualities and characteristics close to those of cars of racing.
Invicta S1
The Invicta S1 is a two-seater coupe motor central striker, with steel chassis and carbon fiber bodywork. It is a very light car and the first to have a body of carbon fiber made from one piece.
The Invicta S1 engine and transmission are those of the Ford Mustang Cobra SVT: a V8 engine capacity of 4.6 liters and about 320 hp. It has rear traction, and series, manual gearbox five-speeds. Optionally you can attach a manual six-or an automatic four.

The design of the bodywork is given its own brand, with the collaboration of a designer Leigh Adams. It measures 4.4 meters long, the same as a BMW Z8, but it is much lower: 1225 mm, is very low height for absolutes in terms, and in a coupe of front engine (the Corvette or the Viper is even more low).

In the United Kingdom it cost 69,950 pounds, about 111,000 euros. The mark "Invicta" existed before, between 1924 and 1933. The Invicta is now responsible for Michael Bristow, and the company belongs to the group ITS Ltd.

The frame of the Invicta S1 is a lattice of steel tubes. On this structure, sticks carbon fiber bodywork. The body is independent, but it seems that has a certain structural function; Invicta refers to this set with the term 'semi- monocook. "

The total weight (according to standard EC) is 1243 kg, very little for a car of this size. A BMW Z8, which has the chassis and aluminum bodywork, weighs 1660 kilograms. A Ferrari 360 Modena weighs 1390 kilograms.

The bodywork is in one piece with a type of carbon fiber called "ZPREG", whose manufacturing process is simpler and less expensive than the normal carbon fiber. Invicta estimated that savings in weight with this material, in relation to a body of steel, is about 70 percent.

The Invicta S1 frame alone weighs 160 kg. It's made with square section tubes welded together by type of TIG. According to Invicta, the entire frame is below the axis of balancing Invicta S1. The closer to each other in the center of gravity and rocking, less swings Invicta S1.

The Invicta S1 suspension is deformable parallelogram in the two axes, with elements joining articulated steel caps on polyurethane (made by PowerFlex). The springs are helical. Invicta has provided a hint at possible use of this car, and this has a wide margin adjustment to the hardness of the dampers (compression and extension), the stabilizer, the angle of fall and convergence.

The brakes are AP Racing; leads drilled and ventilated discs, 350 x 35 front and 340 x 35 the rear. The fittings are fixed, the six-piston front and the back four. It is a very large team of brakes for a car of this weight; a Ferrari 360 Modena is smaller discs, but weighs more. Curiously, the entire team is Brake AP, unless the parking brake, which is Brembo.

The Invicta S1 has a leadership hydraulically assisted (Lucas), with three turns of the wheel between stops. The wheels are 255/35 19 front and 275/35 ZR19 rear. The design of the tires is British, but is manufactured in Italy. In the equipment there is serial or optionally browser (VDO), installation of telephone or xenon headlights.

The engine is the one who carries the Ford Mustang Cobra SVT. It is manufactured on the premises of SVT and carries an insert with the names of those who have mounted. It is a V8 90 ° with aluminum block and cylinder heads, weighs 240 kg. Their actions are 90.2 x 90.0, which gives 4601 cm ³. It has two camshafts in each cylinder head and four valves per cylinder and its compression ratio is 9.85 to 1.

It does not give much power to its engine capacity: 320 hp at 5900 rpm, the specific power is 69.6 hp / l. The maximum torque is 404 Nm at 4800 rpm, which is also not much for the engine capacity. The benefits that states are provisional Invicta: around 270 km / hr speed limit and 5.3 s in the acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h. That is, is slower than a Porsche 911, which has the same power.
Invicta S1
The gearbox of the Invicta S1 is standard Borg Warner (Model T 45, the same one that bears the Mustang). It is placed below the engine, so that the gear is right on top of it. It has five gears; optionally there is a manual and an automatic six-four.
Invicta S1
The differential is BTR (Australian), which has built a viscous coupling. It's the same kind of differential that carry other British sports such as the Jensen S-V8 or several models of TVR.
