The Reynard Inverter - the first-ever road car from the famous race car constructor - has passed its IVA test and is now adorned with number plates.
Reynard says that the Radical-style track day car passed its IVA first time. As a result the Inverter is now officially on sale, with prices starting from £35k.
The 440kg track special has been wind-tunnel honed to create up to 1200kg of downforce, and up to 3g in cornering, giving the inverter one of the highest lateral g per pound sterling of any sports car
The car, powered by a 180bhp Fireblade engine, can be supplied in both left-hand drive and right-hand drive, and in both turn-key and kit form.
Although the Inverter is Reynard's first road car, its other purpose is to become an 'open source' racing design, with racing teams and engineers given full access to the Inverter's engineering drawings to allow individual teams to design their own parts and modifications.
"It is our intention to bring about the end of one-make race series," says Reynard on its website, "which tend towards becoming overpriced monopolies, devoid of engineering innovation, diversity, and creativity."
