'The demand for our traditional factory built and component cars, has never been stronger and still represents the core and future of our business' said Westfield founder Chris Smith. 'We are continually asked by owners of already modified Westfield road cars, many of whom take part in competition and track days, to make their car go even faster. ‘Faster' is evolutionary and always means compromise. We decided to commision an entirely new design incorporating proven race technology with absolutely no compromise, except affordable excellence'
Martin Ogilvie was given the brief to design a road legal car that would be faster, lighter, stiffer and safer than any existing car in its class and to make it affordable:
'I have always respected Westfield, the continuing development and success of their products and ability to exceed type approval requirements. The opportunity to help them combine the traditional with racing technologies and materials to produce perhaps the ultimate car of its type, at a price their customers could afford, was a challenge I could not resist.'
Engine: Front mounted Rover ‘K' Series 1800VVC developing 150bhp at 7000rpm with lightweight flywheel and alternator.
Bodywork: Lightweight GRP construction, quickly detachable from chassis. Rear storage compartment. Fascia locker. Cycle-type front wings with integral brake ducts. Adjustable carbon bucket seats with tailorable seat pads.
Chassis: Carbon fibre and glass in epoxy matrix skins, sandwiching Nomex honeycomb core. Bonded steel bobbin fixings/spreaders for all hard points. Double thickness construction at cockpit sides. 4-point safety harnesses. Double hoop roll-over bar.
Price: IN 1999 ONLY THIRTY FW400 CARS WILL BE OFFERED FOR SALE.Source -
