What makes the Westfield Cosworth special aside from the unique appearance? According to CosworthWestfield.co.uk, the Westfield Cosworth comes equipped with some serious track ready modifications. Light weight thanks to a gel-coat fiberglass body construction with alloy panels throughout the cockpit ensures a great power to weight ratio for the mighty Cosworth 16-valve, T-3 turbocharged inline four cylinder engine. Thanks to the generous 330 bhp, you can rest assured plenty of low end torque combined with the light chassis will yield an exhilarating drive.
Handling is second to none thanks to the Avoy alloy adjustable shocks, 300/200 pound springs, and 50/50 weight distribution should a driver weigh up to 187 pounds. Braking is plentiful with 300 millimeter grooved and slotted discs coupled with 4-pot calipers for the front, and 273 millimeter grooved and slotted discs with just a standard 1-pot caliper in the rear. Needless to say, that's plenty to stop the light weight chassis when riding on standard 195/50/15 tires up front, and 205/50/15 in the rear.
The Westfield Cosworth is an impressive machine, but if it's flaming like a meteor made of rubber dog dung all the high performance parts in the world won't matter. Due to being a turbocharged four cylinder, massive amounts of fuel must be used to keep the T3 turbo from running the motor lean. These high pressure fuel systems coupled with a turbocharger provide the ultimate driving experience, but should a fire spark they create nightmares. The amount of fuel a turbocharged vehicle consumes is uncanny; one spark to a leak and we have an instant flaming Cosworth cocktail.
