The Westfield XTR2 was a bespoke track car produced by Westfield from 2001 until 2010. Powered by an Inline-4 from a Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle, the XTR2 was surprisingly quick for its comparatively-low price tag, even against similarly-designed rivals such as the AS One.

Media appearances

Top Gear

{{{text}}} The XTR2 made its inaugural media appearance for Series 1, Episode 3 of Top Gear. Host Richard Hammond wanted to prove that it was possible to daily-drive a track-oriented car, and briefly drives it down some country roads before taking it around the Top Gear Test Track. After this latter drive, the XTR2 is given to The Stig in order to set a lap time.
