The production of the Reynard Inverter will provide the car for the members of the 750 Motor Club, motor sport and Track Day participants who want an extraordinary road car experience.

The advanced and unique aerodynamic characteristics will allow the car to achieve unbelievable cornering abilities. On track tyres the driver will be able to experience up to 4G lateral acceleration - this is on the same level as F1.

The car is projected to attain 150 mph, and at that speed it produces down force levels that are four times its own weight.

This would theoretically allow the car to drive upside down at 100 mph, hence the Inverter model name.

The engine presently installed is the Honda Fireblade 998 cc unit that will rev to 14,000 rpm and produces 175 bhp. Other motorcycle engines are available, including the Suzuki Hayabusa. Car engine variants are also possible with some redesign of the rear frame.
