Competition history

The Swift 016.a is an open-wheel formula racing car, designed, developed and manufactured by American company Swift Engineering, for the Formula Atlantic spec-series, and has been the sole car used in the series since 2006. They are powered by naturally aspirated 2.3 L (140 cu in) Mazda four-cylinder MZR engines, which has been specially tuned by Cosworth, to produce 300 hp (220 kW). This drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed sequential manual transmission. The monocoque chassis itself is very strong, rigid and durable; able to withstand 13,490 lbf (60,000 N) of vertical force, 10,120 lbf (45,000 N) of longitudinal force, and 2,700 lbf (12,000 N) of lateral (side) force.
