Ksport Time Attack Impreza Breaks Cover at Oulton

KSport UK and Time Attack Driver Paul Doyle unveiled the 2011 Ksport Time Attack Pro Class Impreza at last weeks test day at Oulton Park.

The widebodied 2 door Subaru Impreza is fitted with Ksports latest edition brakes all round and uses the highly acclaimed EBC Bluestuff NDX racespec brake pads.

The lightweight car will be powered by a hybrid DOHC 2.35 ltr flat 4 engine supplied by longtime Subaru specialist Enginetuner based in Plymouth using tried and tested Lateral Performance forged engine internals. Coupled with a Garrett GT40 front mounted turbo the output of the car is expected to be around 700bhp.

The highly modified chassis and suspension was custom developed during the original build of the car by Zen Performance and has been campaigned successfully over a number of seasons. The car has the ability to continually vary the drivetrain between rear wheel drive and four wheel drive depending on the situation on track with control of the centre DCCD differential actively managed by the specialist Syvecs ECU. Complimenting the ECU is an AIM data logging system supported by RaceDataSystems.

Technical and Engineering support both on and off the track for the 2011 season will be provided by both Scoobytech and Zen Performance.

For 2011 the all kevlar panelled car sports a mat black colour scheme provided by 360 AutoDesigns. The car has undergone a winter rebuild that will see a new engine, some noticeable aerodynamic improvements and the addition of a Nitrous Oxide system to suppliment the already high powered engine output.

“I’ve been excited about working with all the guys at Ksport UK for sometime,” says Paul Doyle, owner/driver. “I’ve known for some years that the Ksport product is very strong and by working together with the Ksport team I knew we could put together a package that could cut it in the highly competitive UK Time Attack Pro series. I’m really looking forward to the 2011 season and can’t wait to get started.”

Bren, MD of KSport UK, commented “I am more than happy to have joined up with Paul Doyle. The 2011 KSport UK Time Attack Pro car is one of the most advanced modified road going vehicles in Europe and is a spectacular platform to demonstrate the performance and abilities of the KSport braking systems. The KSport UK Impreza uses exactly the same braking kits as sold over the counter. I am looking forward to a successful campaign at the seven Time Attack rounds this year and expect some close competition from our series rivals. Its going to be an exciting 2011″

You can see the Ksport Impreza in action at the first round of the UK Time Attack Series at Oulton Park, Cheshire on Saturday April 16th.
