The Murtaya is a lightweight , AWD, turbocharged flat-4 roadster based on the GC-generation (1992-2000) Subaru Impreza WRX/STi. The Murtaya was designed and is built by Adrenaline Motorsport Ltd which is based near St Columb Major in Cornwall.
Composition

The basis of the Murtaya consists of a GRP monocoque tub with a front spaceframe that contains the engine. The front suspension attaches to the spaceframe while the rear suspension attaches directly to the monocoque tub.

The Murtaya was initially created as a kit car for financial reasons, but it is currently offered in many different types of packages:

* People can buy the comprehensive Murtaya kit (or several different modular versions of the kit) and assemble their Murtaya themselves; the Murtaya is a single-donor car, meaning that you do not need to match parts from various donor cars in order to complete the car (like many kit cars out there).
* A rolling chassis build is also available for people who want to finish the build themselves.
* Fully-finished turn-key builds are also available.
* In some markets (Middle East, etc.), the Murtaya can be bought as a brand new car (i.e., even the donor car is brand new).

Specifications

The Murtaya is offered in many different variations. The two major types are the road car spec and the track car spec. The former offers a full windshield and things like AC, leather, sound insulation, power windows, central locking, etc. The latter has only a small windscreen and cuts out options to save weight.

The type of donor car used as a basis also effects the resulting Murtaya. Standard naturally aspirated Impreza models can be used (AWD with about 150 hp (110 kW) and 5-speed manual transmissions). The next step up is a WRX model (usually with horsepower in the lower 200′s and a 5-speed manual). The WRX STi donor will have an upper 200 hp (150 kW) flat-four and a 5/6-speed transmission. The highest spec donor would be an STi Type-RA or Type-R, which will have a six-speed transmission and a driver controlled central differential and limited-slip front and rear differentials. Adrenaline Motorsport sells Murtayas in even higher states of tune (up to and exceeding 400 hp).
