Today the car wears its original factory bodywork, is in beautiful condition, and is
equipped as run in period with a Katech developed 427c.i. engine producing 800hp
(in unrestricted form), Hewland 6-speed sequential transaxle, and carbon/carbon
brakes.

The C5-R initially used a 366 CI V-8 engine based on the production car’s LS1. This
was replaced later in the 1999 season with a 327 CI engine built by Katech Engine
Development. Developing a reliable 600+ horsepower, the Katech 427 became the standard
engine in the C5-R. Hewland’s most advanced sequential 6-speed transaxle was used
to redistribute the weight of the driveline from front to rear, new rules in the
international endurance community allowed for carbon on carbon brakes, and bodies
were fabricated from carbon/Kevlar materials.
