Caresto T6 Roadster

This hand-built hotrod is based on a twin turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine. The engine is in back, located just behind the supportive leather bucket seats.

The gearbox is a 5-speed Geartronic transmission that sends the power to the rear wheels. To help keep the engine cool, the rear decklid automatically lifts

when a preset temperature is reached inside the engine compartment. Up front is a small luggage compartment and a location for mechanicals functioning

ABS brakes etc.

The custom fabricated tubular steel frame was hand formed. Special fabricated stainless steel A-arms for the fully independent front and rear suspension

systems with custom carbon-fibre leaf springs. Around back are special made trailing arms with remote-reservoir Ohlins shock absorbers. The rear coil-over

shocks, incidentally, are centrally mounted in the engine compartment. Braking up front is handled via 6-piston Tarox calipers and 330-mm discs while the rear

contains ventilated discs incl. a special made parking brake system. The front wheels are some 8.5 inches wide and 20 inches in diameter, the rears are a full

10-inches wide and 22 inches in diameter.

Inside, the T6 Roadster, all panels and seats are dressed in finest Scottish leather.

All parts are special made to give the car a sporty and factory look.

This factory looking car is street legal and has been driven 10 000 km in Europe.
