Description
How do you fancy having a Cosworth Formula 1 air filter on display in your home or office? Well, exclusive to Modatek, we have this almost-new filter that looks incredible, and will certainly be a talking point to everyone that sees it.
Cosworth CA2010 Engine
The final Formula 1 engine from Cosworth, codenamed the CA, took all of the knowledge gained from decades of competition in F1 and turned this know-how into probably one of the best Cosworth engines ever. The CA was introduced in 2006 with Williams, and saw Cosworth return to the production of V8 normally aspirated engines that began with the DFV back in 1967. Capable of 20,000 rpm, the CA became the new benchmark for F1 powerplants.
After a brief sabbatical, Cosworth returned to the grid in 2010 with an updated version of the CA. By now the rules had dropped the maximum speed to 18,000 rpm. Nevertheless, the CA2010 engine was still able to produce in excess of 775 bhp. Consequently, the CA2010 was the ideal choice for both Williams and for the three new teams in F1 (Virgin Racing, Lotus Racing and Hispania Racing).
The CA2010 engine was raced for four seasons, bowing out at the end of 2013.
You can watch a short video we put together of a Cosworth CA2010 engine being pushed through its paces on Cosworth’s transient dyno at speeds of up to 18,000 rpm – just click here.
Cosworth CA2010 Formula 1 Air Filter
The air filter sat between the air horn (which we called the ‘aardvark’) and the engine trumpet tray (which we called the ‘airbox’). This pleated filter was carefully designed to ensure that it provided the correct amount of filtration without compromising engine performance.
The filter that we have for sale was used on the Virgin/Marussia/Manor engines, and has barely been run, hence there are no markings or debris within it.
Details:
- Length= 52 cm
- Width = 38 cm
- Depth = 2 cm
- Weight = 616 g
- Material = Pleated filter surrounded by rubber frame
