The updated Westfield Sport
All the exciting news from the factory as we develop what will be the most complete Westfield to hit the road!
Why are we continuing to develop the Westfield Sport?
Westfield have always built a market leading kit-car. For 30 years the Sport has been developed and perfected not only by the factory, but by the army of enthusiastic owners and supporting companies world-wide.
Legislation has pushed major manufacturers down a very specific development route for their drive trains, making them heavy, low revving and very complex. None of these attributes work well in a stripped back sports car that weighs less than 750kgs.
Our goals for the Sport's re-design. Keep it light, with an engaging, sonorous engine and improve the quality and finish of our car so it is truly market leading.

Westfield's new power plant
We are delighted to have partnered with a leading race-engine manufacturer to design and develop Westfield's first purpose built engine range. Based on a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder engine it will be high revving and naturally aspirated.
Initially it will be available in three power outputs ranging between 170 bhp and 250 bhp. We are also discussing a range topping, boosted engine, likely to be launched in mid-2024
