ESMotor ES1xxx testing - Holy C**P!

[apollokre1d]

Wonder if there were any mods done on the PDK?

I don't know too much about PDK or have much experience, but there's a sort of slip/rise of revs on the shifts there. Might just be breaking traction of course!

All the same, have to agree, as an exercise in pushing the envelope, it's brilliant. Of course, we shouldn't be surprised - the guts of the powertrain are what powered the GT1, which was an utterly epic and very well proven race car - but it's still amazing to see.

Ahh but if that is a PDK car then it has the DFI engine not the one in the GT1 or my car for that matter.

Yes, true! Good point.

Even so, the very crude basics of twin-turbo, flat 6 are there though.

That car was first registered in July 2006, so presumably its a tiptronic.

From what i've read on their social media it's a fully built Mezger Engine with Syvecs and a custom sequential box built by Bill Rader. I've asked them for more info on the build / spec but i know they're flat out at the moment so may not get an answer to share until later...

I've also found this video of it launching on a dragstrip

Thanks for posting, next I would like to see the prices next to those "line items" My guess is that sequential gearbox would be near the top.

Where is the car testing in the first vid?

I suspect you will not get much change out of £200,000 for that little lot of mods. Hopefully we will see the car in the UK :eh!:

ES custom fuel kit £3,000
Precision 6766 Turbo's with custom ES turbo kit £6,000
ES billet intake manifold with 12 injectors £1,600
ES Intercoolers £3,500
ES Y pipe £1,500
Custom Sequential Gearbox £25,000
Tilton Triple plate Carbon clutch £2,000
ES custom driveshafts £5,000
Sevens ECU £5,000
Bilstein Walter Rohf coilovers and GT3 components £5,000
ES Custom Exhaust £3,000
Watermark (or meth) Injection £1,000
GT2 carbon seats £10,000
Plex dash £4,000 No idea!!!
HRE wheels £5,000 Again no idea
Ceramic brakes £10,000

Add in another £10K to £15k for odds and sods....


Complete guess, I am probably miles out, be interesting to see what others think

23rd September?

 

[Boba fett]

Amazing performance indeed!

However unless it's using special tyres, I can't see how you can do a 0-60 in less time than you can brake from that speed??

Tyre grip is now the limiting factor in standing starts afaik, imo, ymmv etc :?:

I agree, however if ES ditch the Nangkangs, who knows

 

[AdeD]

23rd September?

Yes they hope so but there are a couple of events in Europe they're attending also so it'll come down to timing..

Oh and on the dragstrip video i'm told they were using Mickey Thompson street radial tyres...

 

[splattric]

Apologies for off subject.

Where do you go get ES motors modifications carried out?
I've emailed a while back and had no reply.

what top speed events are left after terminal velocity being cancelled ? Vmax and?
