1976 ErinSport Civera Silhouette BRC76

1976 ErinSport Civera Silhouette BRC76

Sports car racing had been ErinSport's domain for some time by 1976, and the Civera Silhouette was the most successful. Having been entered in Group 5 racing since 1968 with a variety of turbocharged prototypes, Erin wanted to expand into Group 4 and also advertise their vehicles a little better. A homologated Civera was the answer.

Debuting in 1971, the Civera Silhouette was a masterpiece of a race car. Well proportioned, well balanced and very versatile, it had seen use with a variety of engines, teams and raced right across the world; certainly a successful career, but 1976 would sadly be the last year for this vehicle. With the Mk 2 Civera on the way, Erin would soon discontinue the chassis...

...but not without a bang. ErinSport decided to make the 1976 BRC season its grand finale, with a tumultuous version of the car that took the new displacement-to-weight ratio limit to a whole new level. Under the bonnet was a 5.7L all-Aluminium V8, made in flat plane configuration in order to shoehorn it into the car. That was, as near as makes no difference, the second biggest engine ErinSport had ever developed, and one of the most powerful too. At 550 bhp, the Civera Silhouette BRC76 was more powerful than some supercars today, meaning back in the mid-70s, it was positively insane.

In return for this huge displacement, the car had to be fitted with a steel body, a change away from the aluminium and Kevlar-composite used on previous versions of the Silhouette. Still, it made it very safe, and the extra weight allowed them to fit a large fuel tank and made the chassis very rigid. Even with all that weight, the vented disc brakes could stop the car in just over 32m.

Style wise, the Civera Silhouette BRC76 had all the bases covered. Big wing, stylised intakes, black plastic, ridiculously flared wheel arches and the twin centre exhausts, a trade mark of ErinSport's design team.

One special edition of this final edition was made for the 1000km of Hockenheim, the opener of the 1976 season. The engine was configured to run more efficiently and the suspension setup to be kinder on the wheels. Despite this, the car could still maintain the 5.3 second 0-60 time of the final edition and topped out at 180 mph (and 8000 rpm, at which point the engine was so loud, it could start earthquakes halfway across the world).

This car competed in the BRC76 QuER 1000km of Hockenheim: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=10060

2011 Erin Super Aventa (Redesign)

This car has been redesigned. For the original, see here: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=7461#p80409

2011 Erin Super Aventa
To lead its new design style, Erin launched a new super saloon, aimed at being one of the fastest 4 door cars in production. This car was the Aventa; a highly advanced, imposing and extremely quick car.

This particular model is the 'Super Aventa'. Rather than having a sporty X Tuned trim version and a top-of-the-range Vox trim version, Erin decided to combine the two into one ultimate version, creating an ultimate blend of luxury and performance.

The Super Aventa is capable of 199 mph and 0-60 in 5.3 seconds, making it one of the fastest 4 door cars on the planet. Inside, the lavish interior and wealth of features means comfort is guaranteed. As standard, the Super Aventa comes with features such as adaptive cruise control, voice control, 360 degrees viewing cameras, in-car WiFi, moving rear seats, curtains, two champagne coolers (with storage space for champagne flute's) and an 11" touchscreen infotainment system.

Alongside this, options include mood lighting, shag pile carpet, advanced high-speed collision safety technology, Bang and Olufsen designed sound system and adjustable sound proofing.

Don't think for a moment that all the focus is on luxury; under the bonnet lurks a 5.8l V12 that knocks out 548 bhp to the rear wheels via an 8 Speed Automatic transmission with LSD. This gives the Super Aventa mountain's of torque and means that with XMode engaged, the car behaves more like a muscle car than a limousine.

Even with all this luxury, the Super Aventa still keeps the environment in mind with its huge use of recycled materials, a combined cycle of 23.8 mpg and low emissions.
