Porsche's flagship not quite savage enough for you? How about Litchfield's 831hp version
One thing you won't do at Litchfield is get bored. Tucked away in every corner of its sprawling site you'll find just one more interesting car - each one a hidden treasure. I won't list every one, but just to give you a flavour of the gems, these are a few that caught my eye: an E39 BMW M5, a Mercedes 450 SEL 6.
"The Turbo S is the benchmark for supercar usability," Litchfield states,"but with this relatively simple, bolt-on option, we've given it hypercar performance and retained that usability. So where a 720S will be struggling for grip, this Turbo S will be gone." The bolt-on bit is key. If Litchfield had gone mental and given it 1,000hp, that would have meant bigger turbos and intercoolers, which means more expense and more complexity.
Next up was the breathing. There are performance air filters on the inlet side and a full bespoke exhaust system at the other end. The manifolds are made of Inconel, because it's the most heat resistant material for exhausts. Even stainless steel loses a large percentage of strength with high heat, whereas Inconel doesn't, so you can make the manifolds thinner. Plus lighter than the standard Porsche cast iron manifolds, which are a log design and port the gases together straight away.
It's fair to say I treated the throttle with a bit of respect at first. I sized it up, you might say. Up to 2,000rpm there's not a lot of torque, but between then and 3,000rpm there's what you could describe as more than enough. Then, somewhere between 3,000rpm and 4,000rpm there's more than every episode of Loose Women combined. And the reason I say 'somewhere' is because it's hard to tell.
