THE MUCH-ACCLAIMED NIGEL DEAN DAX RUSH V8, KNOWN AS THE RAPTOR F85 The Raptor F85 is recognized by many as the ultimate V8 powered Dax Rush ever built. Professionally constructed to the highest standards possible by Nigel Dean, specialist car builder. Serialized in the national press over a staggering 14 months, this is the most famous V8 Rush in existence. May 2009 registered on a ‘09’ plate and only 250 test miles. Utilizing a one-off chassis from DAX and a commissioned 4.6 litre V8 powerplant built by the country’s leading specialists, RPI Engineering, makes this a rather special car. Huge specification includes: T5 gearbox. Cosworth final drive components with extremely sought-after 3.36 differential. Large Cosworth disc brake upgrade. Wilwood four pot racing callipers. Sequential shift light system. Electronic launch control and rev limiter. Specially commissioned 18 inch, three piece billet alloy rims with ultra low profile Toyo rubber. Black sports interior with 3 inch FIA approved, four point Sabelt race harnesses. Revolution, insignia instrumentation with blue back lighting and sequential shift lights. Sabelt steering wheel with launch control button. Dash mounted, ultra-bright LED shift light and much more.  Under the bonnet the show-finish, fuel injected aluminium V8 is surrounded by carbon fibre and polished stainless steel. Fitted with the best performance hardware available, including Merlin F85 high flow heads, Piper 285 cam, ACT carbon fibre plenum with triple ACT throttle bodies, Tornado engine management system, Pipercross air filtration, fully ported inlet manifold, huge oversized inlet trumpets, TVR flywheel and clutch, high pressure fuel delivery system, and the list goes on. Alone this engine and gearbox package totalled in excess of £13,000. Matched to paired stainless steel tubular headers and big bore four-into-one side pipes, this fuel injected V8 sounds like an off-shore powerboat when on full throttle. The net result of this carefully specified engine is, however, both effortless cruising combined with ballistic acceleration. How fast? Well, 0 to 60 mph electronically measured in 3.36 seconds! To give you some idea of how fast that is, it's quicker than a Pagani Zonda, Ferrari Enzo and Koenigsegg CCR!
