Altitude Group LLC has announced its intent to produce a new kit for a speedster called the P85. While no numbers have been released for the potential performance of the sleek composite airplane, the single-seat P85 is designed around a V8 Chevrolet engine that is capable of delivering as much as 400 hp.
The P85 is largely built around Altitude Group’s Radial Rocket TD airframe, but it has a completely redesigned nose section because of the new engine selection. The liquid-cooled V8 Chevrolet 400 CID small-block engine that will power the P85 will be rated at about 375 hp, the company said.
