The Winston Longsword is one of the latest, greatest sportscars from the United Kingdom. It's most notable trait is it's virtually limitless amount of factory customization options that allow customers to truly make their Longsword "their" Longsword. In the summer of 2215, 4 Longswords were purchased by British Motorsports marque Sennatech to build something a bit more....meaner than a Longsword with engraved wheels. Sennatech is a motorsports and engineering group based in Banbury that's been a part of Winston's Motorsports programs for the last 30+ years. They built the racing variants of past Winston Models like the Veloce, W800, and even helped design the road-going Longsword. Now they have total control over the Longsword's racing variation. Dubbed the GT-LM for the class it'll race in this Longsword is obviously much more of a performer than it's road-legal counterpart. Basically everything has been rebuilt for racing, from the composites used on the body to even the sparkplugs used in the turbocharged I6 engine. Speaking of, the I6, while more or less the same as seen in the roadcar, received a power boost so now it produces a formidable 655 HP. This gives the GT LM a 0-60 of under 3 seconds, and a top speed of 255 MPH. In addition to this greater speed, race-spec tyres, suspension, brakes, aero, basically race-spec everything, the GT-LM can reach these speeds in any direction it goes, and not just straight-line speed. This is good, since it will have equally fierce competition on the track. Winston has their sights set primarily on the Rogue's own GT-class racing program, the Destroyer FCR5. The Destroyer is the Longsword's main competition on the road, and it looks like that rivalry will speed right onto the raceways.
