The car is a Mk1 Vauxhall Tigra that was owned by our lead Fabricator Dan for many years and was developed into the car you see here today. The amount of blood sweat and tears to get it to where it is now was unbelievable but as with every project something usually stops them from being finished, the tuning being the case for this project and being TDi specialists, we don’t have the time to take the car further than it is now.
The Car was built solely for drag racing with the hope to be the Quickest and Fastest FWD Drag Car in Europe with the hope of upsetting some of the guys in America too! The Plan was Sub 800kg and over 1000hp…
