Oldbac Kalana


The Oldbac Kalana is a track-only sports car developed by Estonian car manufacturer Oldbac, and built in partnership with Italian coachbuilder Manifattura Automobili Torino. The car was created with the intention of setting a lap time of under 1:00 at the Porsche Ring, where it currently holds the outright record.

Overview

The Kalana's bodywork is built entirely out of carbon fiber and is adjustable for different aerodynamic settings. The car makes use of a carbon fiber monocoque equipped with a FIA-approved roll cage and FIA homologated fuel cell typically used in GT race cars. The front and rear suspension setups are double wishbone with push-rods and adjustable dampers by Öhlins. The car is powered by a 3.4-liter naturally aspirated V8 developed by Judd with an output of, mated to a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission manufactured by Sadev. The Kalana uses Michelin tires.
For purposes of real-world preparation, Oldbac worked with American simulation company International Endurance Racing Simulations to develop an officially licensed mod of the Kalana to use in the Assetto Corsa video game as a driver training tool.
