Breckland Beira V8 Roadster
GM has revealed a new roadster, dubbed the Breckland Beira. This stylish new car rides on GM’s Kappa platform, which is the foundation for cars like the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, and Opel GT. This car is powered by the venerable 400hp 6.0L LS2 V8.
Weighing in at just under 3,100lbs, the Beira’s power-to-weight ratio ensures stunning performance. Sub five second sprints to 62mph have been promised, as well as a governed top speed of 155mph.
An interesting fact, is that the Beira is designed to run on Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) as well as gasoline. This gives the car a range of over 700 miles, as well as cutting down on emissions. The Beira sports a fully independent suspension that has been redesigned by Breckland with the assistance of KW Suspension. The newly redesigned suspension features updated springs, dampers, and bushings, also thicker anti-roll bars front and rear.
The Beira comes to a halt with the assistance of 12.8 brake rotors at all four corners with six piston calipers up front, and four piston calipers out back. The Beira will be available in both left, and right hand drive. They are expected to hit showroom floors in November of this year with a price tag of $108,000.
