Looking for a track day car? How about the Revera XR? Not the 2020 XR as might know it: The Efficient Future - Make the Best of it Competition - #52 by asdren
I am referring to a time where true sports machines weren’t powered by four cylinder air compressors, what I am talking about is the 2011 Revera XR. To be precise, the '11 XR supersport.
The XR always was Revera’s entry mid engined sports car, but with the supersport in 2011 they turned everything about the regular XR from 9/10 to 11/10.
Lets start with the engine: Compared to the regular XR-S at the time, the 3.2 liter V6 was tuned from around 300hp to 380hp @ 8000rpm. Though numbers don’t tell the whole story. The engine is super responsive to throttle inputs and rewards every single rpm you climb towards the redline. The supersport also features a wider body, wider semi-slick tires, beefier brakes, and a huge spoiler at back of the car that generates over 200lb of pressure on the rear tires.
And still weights almost 200lb less then a “normal” XR-S. A true enthusiasts car. But the XR supersport still remains a refined Revera, thanks to the adaptive suspension and a decent cd-player, you can enjoy the XR supersport on the normal road almost as much as on the track where its home.
What sets the XR supersport really apart from its competition is the proven reliability on the street and around the track. Even though its currently 15 years old, there are no signs of corrosion thanks to the aluminium body and the AHS steel monocoque, and there have been reports of cars that have gone past the 100k mile mark with virtually no issues.
How much for a 2011 Revera XR supersport? You are looking at £19959.
