Hartham Announce
New GTP Trackday Car
Hartham are pleased to
announce the new Hartham GTP sportscar. This striking, mid-engined trackday
car developing 750bhp/tonne is designed to go head to head with the new Radical
SR8. The GTP will also be suitable to race in Britsport and other prototype
series.
Developed by Hartham,
following discussions in the Gulf and the US, the Hartham GTP will use a 2.4
litre variant of the proven 2.0 litre RST-V8 engine developed by Motopower's
experienced Russell Savory. This ultra compact powerplant produces 400bhp
normally aspirated, with a super charged version available later in the year.
The stunning GTP boasts an advanced carbon monocoque and lightweight six-speed
sequential gearbox, giving a complete powertrain solution weighing only 115kg.
With the full spec model targeted
to come in at around the £70K mark, the car promises fantastic performance
and represents excellent value for money in today's sportscar arena. James
Painter, Director of Hartham noted: 'From our previous Le Mans programme experience
we have close relationships with many top quality motorsport companies. This
puts Hartham in a strong position to produce a superbly competitive and reliable
sportscar.' The first car is timetabled to start testing in May and Hartham
intends to contest several Britsport rounds with the GTP during the second
half of the 2005 season.
Experienced and hugely
successful race car constructor Adrian Reynard commented: 'I have spent a
lot of time with the people from Hartham; their skill set, determination and
ambition has convinced me they will be successful. This is an exciting and
well structured sportscar programme from a dynamic and innovative company,
which is great for the British Motorsport Industry. I'm looking forward to
seeing the car testing in a few months time. I expect Hartham to become a
major player in motorsport design and manufacture.'

Overview
This car was built primarily
to show what could be made if building an Elise from the ground up, but also
as an endurance racer capable of racing long distance GT style races. Weighing
only 670 kg wet and with over 400 bhp per tonne, it is most probably the quickest
normally aspirated Elise in the world.
The quality of the materials
used during the build and type of componentry fitted reflects the nature of
this project – to build the best Elise out there. The project has not
reached an end though. There is still more weight saving to be found, and
the bodywork being fibreglass is not as light as it could be. The chassis
set-up is still ongoing, and more can come from the engine, which is still
in ‘safe’ tune mode. Expect to see about 300 bhp from it when
finished.

ultimate Lotus Elise Duratec engine conversion, or alternative engine choices
