SSC Stylus
Zetecs, 16-valve Vauxhall or Duratec V6 engined
Launched in 1994, the rights to manufacture the Sylva were sold to Specialist Sports Cars in 1996. SSC production began in 1997, and the company also offered finished cars.
The first Styluses used a modified Fury chassis, depending on Mark II Escort parts. Later, as these Escorts were becoming harder to find, a purpose-built chassis was made. This could also accommodate lowered doors. The front rocker arms were upgraded with needle bearings and the front lower arms got redesigned to prevent the lower ball joints being damaged. As with most Sylva models, various four-cylinder engines and the Rover V8 can be fitted.
Stylus RT
In 2003, the Stylus RT was launched making it a modern looking sportscar.
The Stylus RT (Road & Track) uses the SSC standard chassis, but with wider front suspension, & use wheel spacers at rear or if De-Dion this can also be made wider. The rear wing was developed at Swansea University in their motorsport dept. The RT also has a full front splitter and a rear diffuser. These three aerodynamic aids are optional extras. SSC fitted quad style lights. A standard Stylus can be modified to RT specification.
