COLLIS CELER SAFETY CAR BY LMJ DESIGN
The Celer is after 30 years becoming a classic. Our choice was to not mess too much with the exterior. We did, however, tidy it up a bit, flared the arches to fit wheels capable of handling the higher speeds, gave it some racing touches like a side vent and a louvered hood, and of course, as was the customer’s wish, a highly visible paintjob. Very subtle spoilers helps giving downforce.
The Celer was a capable gran turismo of its day, but we did some tweaks. Keeping an inline six under the hood was a no brainer, but it is now a turbocharged IP 6BR engine, tuned to 384 hp. Rack and pinion steering increases the feedback through the track. A brake upgrade with huge vented discs all around was a must.
The interior was upgraded to modern safety standards and tidied up a bit - it was, after all, quite beautiful in its original iteration (OOC: Or maybe I didn’t have the time to do more than this, lol).
At LMJ Design, we are thankful for the honour to have been asked to make a proposal for such a prestigeous and important vehicle as this one.
