The Inverter is the first ever road car from Indy 500 winning race car constructor Reynard (History)
Developed by Andre Brown in an F1 spec 50% scale wind tunnel to give up to 1200kg downforce, the 440kg Inverter produces one of the highest lateral g per £ of any sportscar, with sustained cornering over 3g recorded.
Prices start at £35,000 for a track ready car including 180bhp Fireblade engine, we can supply RH & LH drive cars for race, trackday & road use, in both turnkey and kit form. Initial cars will be made available as rolling chassis + body, which will cost £14,900 on order, the balance depending on your options which can be chosen to suit your application.
It is our intention to bring about the end of one make race series, which tend towards becoming overpriced monopolies, devoid of engineering innovation, diversity, and creativity. Surely customer service is dead when spares are so overpriced and you have to buy them from a single source just to enter the race? It is our intention to go Open Source with our proven designs, so that anyone who wants to race with us can do so with full access to our engineering drawings so that they can manufacture and design their own parts if they want.
Our online store will soon have all drawings available for download, as well as the physical parts for purchase from a variety of suppliers including our existing supply chain, all competing on price, quality and customer service. Or, if you would like to manufacture and sell the entire car in your country, we are offering an official franchise package where you can buy original molds and jigs (see our Brochure).
Reynard is happy to build your car using your choice of components – please ask about compatibility.
