The APV347is is a 5.5 litre, V8 race car, which was specifically developed to compete in the Masters V8 Series, a series created for more mature individuals who still have a passion to race motor vehicles. It was designed from scratch and features a GPS data logging system, which uses a combination of accelerometers, sensors and GPS positioning to accurately measure:
- Speed
- Engine Speed
- Oil Pressure
- Fuel Pressure
- Water Temperature
- Throttle Angle
- Accurate Track Maps (indicating lines through corners)
- Lap/Sector Times
Even before the official launch of the APV347is, approximately twenty vehicles had already been sold in the Cape Town region with another twenty in production. The APV347is has received astounding interest from the rest of South Africa, as well as from internationally interested parties and, depending on future levels of interest, there is the possibility that a road version of the APV347is may be created.
