The Sin R1 is a Corvette-powered mid-engine supercar which has been developed by Sin Cars GmbH of Germany with the help of British supplier ProFormance Metals Ltd.
The Sin R1 is based around a tubular spaceframe chassis and a carbon composite passenger tub. The mid-mounted engine is an LS3 6.2-litre V8 which produces 525 horsepower. The transmission is a Graziano six-speed manual which transfers the power to the rear wheels.
The racing version of the Sin R1 weighs in at just 960 kgs (2,116 lbs), with the weight distributed 40/60 front/rear, the road version is heavier at 1,200 kgs (2,645 lbs). The car is fitted with AP Racing brakes, OMP racing seats and harnesses, OMP steering wheel, and an exposed metal gearshift gate like those found in some classics supercars – including the F40 – but is now an unfortunate rarity. The Sin R1 also features an FIA-approved rollcage.

Performance-wise, Sin Cars say the R1 is capable of completing the standard 0-62 mph (100km/h) sprint in a blistering 2.5 seconds, before continuing on to a top speed of 200 mph (322 km/h).
From a design point of view, the Sin R1 is more of a case of function over form. Despite it’s phenomenal performance it has a rather generic appearance. It has a kit car-ish look about it, which is unfortunate because it’s clearly quite a well put together machine. If Sin Cars can improve the styling, and maybe make the interior slightly less, ahem, rustic, then they might have a real winner on their hands.
