GENEVA 2018 - Eadon Green Zeclat [w/Video]

Mar 15, 2018

ZECLAT COUPE

The new Eadon Green ZECLAT exudes an easy calm and evokes comparison with cars of the past that now look more at home in automotive museums than they do on the roads of today.

At first glance, you might think that ZECLAT was designed to meander along country lanes; to waft along through splendid scenery on Sunday afternoons at gentle pace, and maybe ending at a rural pub/restaurant with a quiet meal for two.

But look more closely.  The wide tyres.  The ground-hugging stance.  ZECLAT means business.

ZECLAT is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.2 litre V8 with a 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds and a special digital display to record the G forces at play as ZECLAT takes its corners.  Nobody should doubt that ZECLAT is a sports car, a driving machine with great power and performance that is just a prod of the accelerator away.

EXTERIOR DESIGN

Modern Masterpiece

ZECLAT is low, wide, curvaceous and beautiful, and employs simple and elegant lines to create a stunning body shape in a style reminiscent of the aero cars created in the 1930s byfamous French coach builders, such asFigoni&Falaschi, Bugatti, Chapron,and PourTout.

ZECLAT may owe its inspiration to the Art Deco period but, by pairing an aluminium and carbon-nano-composite panelled chassis from the white heat of today’s technology, with a lightweight carbon fibre bodyshell, ZECLAT is a thoroughly modern masterpiece.

Shaped by the wind, ZECLAT slips through the air, directing its force through strategically placed vents that cool engine, brakes and transmission, whilst the body design works in concert to stabilize the car at speed.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Hand Tailored

The “aero-style” wrap around cockpit puts the ZECLAT driver firmly in charge of the electronics that control the driving dynamics, while the passenger has switchgear for seats and heating/cooling ventilation.

The standard cabin is dressed in hand stitched leather from Britain’s finest hides, together with carbon fibre or piano black gloss fascia, finished with polished aluminium detail work.

THE FINEST HIDES

Only The Best Will Do

Eadon Green are sticklers when it comes to leather.

Our interiors are tailored using hides from Bridge of Weir Leather, a fine Scottish company established in 1905, who tan only the finest hides, sourced from the best British heritage breeds.  The result is the finest leather; soft, supple, and perfectly suited to an Eadon Green interior.

You can choose from a wide standard colour palette, or even commission special colours unique to yourself.

ENGINE POWER

Classic V8 Engine

ZECLAT draws its power from the legendary Chevrolet LT1 V8 engine, 6.2litre, naturally aspirated and offering an astounding 460hp, 465lb-ft of torque and a 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds.

Combined with the intelligent electronic traction control software, and the unique rear transaxle that helps achieve optimal weight balance, the ZECLAT 460hp V8 engine delivers its power to the road in a seamless flow, converting power to speed in a safe and controllable way.

We suggest that you take your engine to the race track to explore its full potential.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT

Active Fuel Management

Designed for peak power when you need it and fuel efficiency when you don’t, the AFM controller deactivates four cylinders in light load conditions such as motorway travel, bringing them back into life within a split second if you demand more power with the accelerator.

Dry-sump Oil System

ZECLAT V8 features a dry-sump oil system whereby oil is actively pumped into the engine from an oil tank in the engine bay, ensuring that oil flow is unaffected by the G forces created by high speed cornering.  The V8 oil system is also enhanced by oil-spraying jets inside the engine block, reducing piston temperature for extreme output and long-term durability.

PUT IT DOWN

Manual or Automatic

With all the power of a legendary V8 at your disposal, you will want to put this power down smoothly and efficiently.

ZECLAT features an 8-speed paddle shift automatic gearbox with a close ratio gear spread for blindingly fast gear changes.

A 7-speed manual gear box with Active Rev Match, a smart system that provides smooth gear change throttle blips, is available as a no-cost option.

THE CHASSIS

Supreme Balance

With its engine nestling at the back of the engine bay, installed into a rigid aluminium frame with carbon-nano-composite underbody panels, ZECLAT has a near 50/50 weight distribution and an enhanced power-to-weight ratio.

With performance traction management, electronic limited-slip differential and launch control, ZECLAT connects its power to the ground with great precision.

SUSPENSION& BRAKES

Suspension Control

ZECLAT has Magnetic Selective Suspension Control as standard, a real-time damping system that reads the road every millisecond and can adjust within 15 milliseconds.  The suspension fluid contains metal particles that align and become rigid in an instant, giving you control while staying planted to the road surface.

Standard Brake System

ZECLAT features large standard Brembo 14.6”/14.4” two-piece steel brake rotors.

Performance Package

ZECLAT performance package features unique suspension tuning and massive Brembo 15.5”/15.3” carbon ceramic brake rotors.

Custom colour brake calipers are available.

TECHNOLOGY

MODE SELECTOR

A Mode For Every Road

Mode Selector allows drivers to tailor virtually every aspect of their ZECLAT based on road conditions and their driving preferences.  With the turn of a dial, five distinct driver modes electronically calibrate up to 12 variables, optimizing everything from steering to throttle control for peak performance in every environment.

Weather Mode

In inclement weather, the vehicle senses and adapts to road conditions, distributing appropriate power to the rear wheels. Tailored Traction Control and throttle progressionpromotes more confident driving in rain, although winter tyres are recommendedfor snow.

Eco Mode

To reduce engine labour and conserve fuel, Eco Mode utilizes Active Fuel Management. This optimizes efficiency by acting as a 4-cylinder when V8 power is not required. Fuel economy is automatically maximized until aggressive acceleration is called for. An Eco index display is available.

Tour Mode

Tour Mode is the default setting for everyday driving and road trips. Engaged systems relieve stiffness from shock damping and improve comfort for long-distance driving. Customizable gauge cluster can display audio, navigation and phone data.

Sport Mode

Sport Mode works best in your favourite sports car environments, when aggressive responsiveness and power are needed. Magnetic Ride damping is stiffened but tempered. The dashboard display changes, easily revealing RPMs, and the throttle note becomes more audible.

Track Mode

Track Mode is designed exclusively for track driving. Launch control provides maximum off-the-line acceleration. Steering effort and Magnetic Ride damping adjust to provide maximum responsiveness, Performance Traction Management is enabled and throttle progression optimises for track performance. The gauge cluster configuration offers a race-inspired display complete with shift lights.

LIVE DATA RECORDING

Record Your Greatest Moments Behind The Wheel

The performance Data Recorder is a tool that can help make you a better driver, and it also helps you get the most out of your ZECLAT. Originally developed by racing engineers, and with analysis software available, the system lets you record, share and understand your driving experiences both on and off track. Valet Mode also keeps an eye on your car’s movements when out of your sight, recording video of all movements automatically.

Your Digital Driving Coach

On track, and with just two simple clicks, you can open the Track Mode advanced driving analysis tool and record every aspect of your driving, including real-time video and audio, as well as up to 34 channels of performance data. Relive your favourite moments on the track, then download the data and analyze every turn. While Track Mode is designed to help improve your driving skills, Sport and Tour Modes take on a more leisurely role, allowing you to capture video and audio of scenic drives and share with your friends on social media.

Video & Data

The PDR system records video using a front-mounted HD video camera located within the rearview mirror. You voice is recorded by a dedicated microphone, which allows you to narrate your driving experience. In order to capture real-time data, a telemetry recorder is integrated into the ZECLAT’s Controller Area Network to access vehicle information ranging from engine speed to braking force and steering wheel angle. For more precise positioning the system uses a dedicated GPS receiver operating at 5Hz.

Real-time Data Overlays

A dedicated SD card reader stores all of your driving data. Recording time depends upon the capacity of the memory card. The resulting video, with real-time data overlays, can be viewed on the ZECLAT colour touch screen when parked, or downloaded to a computer for further editing, analysis and sharing.

Park with Peace of Mind

Valet Mode can be used to monitor the use of your ZECLAT when others are behind the wheel, recording video and vehicle data. When Valet Mode is engaged, other drivers are notified on the touch screen that recording is taking place. Valet Mode is also enabled with a 4-digit code that locks out storage, personal data and the audio system.
