Castrol EDGE SUPERCAR - Tested in supercars, engineered for you
23 Feb 2017|28,807 views
Over the past 10 years, supercar engine pressures have almost doubled. This provides an extreme testing ground for Castrol EDGE at the pinnacle of automotive engineering and performance.
Castrol EDGE SUPERCAR is the ultimate proof that Castrol's oils are tested to perform. From small hatchbacks to record-breaking supercars, Castrol EDGE is the natural choice for drivers who live for the experience and want only the very best for their engine.
Titanium strong for maximum performance
Castrol EDGE, the strongest, most advanced range of engine oils is boosted with TITANIUM FST™, which physically changes the way oil behaves under extreme pressure. It doubles Castrol EDGE film strength* and reduces friction by up to 15 percent**, which helps to maximise a car's engine performance.
At the forefront of the Castrol EDGE range is Castrol EDGE SUPERCAR. Tested in supercars, and suitable for use in everyday high-performance cars, the first viscosity grade to launch a premium supercar variant is Castrol EDGE 10W-60.
Castrol EDGE has partnered with a selection of the world's leading supercar manufacturers to test and constantly improve our oils. These manufacturers share Castrol's pioneering spirit and the desire to challenge technical frontiers to discover, progress and break new ground. For Castrol and its partners, second place is not an option.
Harnessing the power of the ultimate supercar
"Castrol's drive to push its product to the limit, both in terms of performance and innovation, very much mirrors the ethos shared by Koenigsegg", says Mr. Christian Von Koenigsegg.
Castrol's oil has been tested to the limits in one of the most powerful and iconic supercars on the planet, the Koenigsegg One:1.
In addition, the Advanced Technology Team at Castrol's research centre ran a series of tests and stimulations across a range of temperatures, speeds and lengths of time to prove that Castrol EDGE 10W-60 reduced friction compared to the same oil without TITANIUM FST™.
"Pushing the boundaries of strength and performance like never before, tests run by both Castrol and Koenigsegg prove that our oil is the ultimate choice for performance car owners and manufacturers alike," says Castrol Edge Global Brand Director, Kerim Kermen.
Reduced oil foam gives Koenigsegg the edge
Through its own testing, Koenigsegg proved that Castrol EDGE 10W-60 demonstrated very strong low-foam performance. As a result, it is now proud to recommend Castrol EDGE 10W-60 as its oil of choice.
Foam can be an issue for engines - especially high-performance ones. As it circulates the oil gets aerated, leaving air bubbles, which reduces the oil's strength and increases the risk of metal to metal contact.
"When oil flows around an engine, it flows phenomenally fast. The total oil volume, 11 litres for a Koenigsegg engine, travels around the engine five times every minute. That means that the contents of a typical bottle will be pumped around the engine and back into the oil sump in roughly six seconds," says Senior Technologist Gareth Dowd.
*Tribological tests have shown that Castrol EDGE boosted with TITANIUM FST™ doubles its film strength, preventing oil film breakdown and reducing friction to help maximise engine performance.
**In our testing, Castrol EDGE with TITANIUM FST™ gave up to 15 percent lower friction than the same Castrol oil without TITANIUM FST™. Products representing 61 percent of our 2012 sales volume were tested.
