Rediscovering The Range #1: EU Model Variants

We offer two engine types when it comes to our EU Range, and they both provide wildly different driving characteristics - while still remaining compliant to the latest EU emissions standards. Here we'll delve into what the differences between the two are, what models are in the line-up, and what their names mean. 

So what are the models? 

For the road, we offer the Academy car, the 275, the 485 and the 485CSR - the 420R race car is for the track only, and is designed for competition. As you'll have spotted, the model names are a little different to what's offered in the UK. 

Each car weighs around 500kg, and the name comes from the horsepower-per-tonne figure.  So a car with 135 ps, has roughly 270ps-per-tonne.  However, to ensure that the EU-spec isn't confused with the UK ones we add a 5 onto the end. 

Visually, there are some noticeable differences on EU cars (apart from where the driver sits).  There is a high-level brake light at the rear, and on the side the catalytic converter is moved inside the bodywork.
