The RSW Evo is an ‘ultimate’ GT car for use as a track car but also feasible for the road with in excess of 520 bhp available from a small, light V8 2.4.

This car will also be available from 2009 with the new lightweight V Master 2.3 V6 engine currently under development at RS Performance which will produce up to 600bhp, the extra power being achieved by running a higher boost.
Features of the RSW Evo

The RS Performance supercharged V8 or V6 is mounted longitudinally mated to a Sadev 6 speed sequential racing transaxle gearbox with limited slip diff taking the 380lb ft torque giving ideal handling balance for racing or road use. Twinned with a Pectel full data logging SQ6 ECU we are able to offer a Pneumatic paddle shift system for instant gear changes ensuring the engine is never over-revved therefore prolonging the engine life.

Control of roll center, camber change and bump steer are all carefully calculated and measured during production.

The car offers a substantial weight saving over standard car giving an even greater power
to weight ratio and has both launch and traction control to ensure power transference.
Front suspension

Lightweight double wishbones are designed to give perfect handling in either race or road
format with an option to set higher ground clearance if required.
Koni dampers are specified from previous test data optimise handling and roadholding.
An adjustable, hollow front anti roll bar is fitted to give desired balance at minimum weight.
Rear suspension

The wide track rear suspension is designed to cope with the high power output, increasing traction.
Long double wishbones are both light and stiff and carry Koni dampers with valving
optimised for the best possible handling.

Again the option of using a higher ground clearance if required.

An adjustable, hollow rear anti roll bar is fitted to give desired balance with minimum weight.

The chassis is a light, stiff combination of aluminum and steel structures designed by experts drawing on a long history of designing a wide range of race cars to result in good driver- friendly handling.
