Engine & Performance

It was Invicta’s desire to achieve no-compromise performance in the handling and sheer speed departments. That’s why we mounted the engine and gearbox well back into the chassis and the 100-litre fuel tank between the rear wheels – getting us as close as possible to the ideal 50/50 weight distribution.

Fitted with Invicta’s own air-intake and exhaust systems, the 5.0 litre V8 engines powering the S1 range are supplied by Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) in America. Light, smooth-revving and ultra-reliable, these hand built engines deliver stunning acceleration in the 1380 kg S1.

The completely flat floor of the S1 and the rising rear undertray give low-drag and generate downforce. Tests in the full size wind tunnel at MIRA confirm that the Invicta S1 will remain stable at speeds in excess of 200 mph where permitted.
