Caparo for Anti Vibration Mounts

Caparo Vehicle Technologies (CVT) is an advanced automotive technology and engineering design company, focused on providing technology development, materials engineering and design services to the mainstream automotive, motorsport and aerospace markets.

CVT aims to accelerate the use of lightweight materials in vehicle structures. Another focus of the company is the production of the Caparo T1 car. This "F1 car for the road" features a bespoke 2.4-litre V8 engine delivering 480bhp at 10,500rpm, which combined with a small motorsport transmission produces a powertrain weighing approximately 130kg, helping, along with composite structural materials, to achieve a total vehicle mass of 465kg. This has enabled the company to be the first in the world to produce a road and track car able to exceed 1,000bhp per tonne.

The car will claim Le Mans prototype performance along with a range of 400-500 miles from its 70-litre fuel tank.

The T1 is a showcase of the design, development and manufacturing capabilities of the Caparo Vehicle Products group as well as a demonstration of the CVT's technical abilities to design a whole car.
