Empire Evo 3 Carbon Hillclimb Car – 2022 – Mistral 1600cc Hayabusa – MoTeC – Geartronics Paddle Shift

£46,500 ONO

A rare opportunity to purchase a professionally developed 2022 Empire Evo 3, built with no expense spared and ready to compete at the sharp end of UK hillclimbing.

Owned from new, this car has been continually developed using some of the best specialists in the sport. It combines a full carbon monocoque chassis with a freshly rebuilt Mistral 1600cc Hayabusa engine, Geartronics paddle shift, MoTeC engine management and a premium suspension package to create an exceptionally fast, reliable and confidence-inspiring car.

The engine was built new in 2022 and has been rebuilt every winter by Mistral since, most recently at the start of the 2026 season and has completed just three events since. 

Performance speaks for itself:

* 24.59 seconds – Shelsley Walsh
* 27.65 seconds – Gurston Down
* ⁠35.26 seconds - Wiscombe Park
* ⁠37.91 seconds - Prescott
* 120 mph finish-line speed at Shelsley Walsh, 126mph finish line speed at Gurston Down
* Consistent 1.9–2.1 second 64 ft launches in dry conditions, often below 1.9s in optimum conditions at Shelsley Walsh

The car is eligible for Racing Cars up to 1600cc.

Currently located on the Isle of Wight, but will shortly be relocating to Wiltshire. The car is entered for Shelsley Walsh in August, where genuine buyers are welcome to view it in action.
