Alisi Motors: a road-legal GT40 replica run by one PDM25

Alisi Motors turned a classic race-car design into a street-legal road car, the Miles GT. A single Hardwire PDM25 runs all of its road equipment, without spoiling the period look.

The challenge

Alisi Motors comes from top-level Argentinian motorsport, having built cars for the TC2000 and Turismo Nacional series. The Miles GT is its first move into bespoke road cars: a handmade GT40 MK1 replica with a tubular chassis and lightweight fibreglass body.

Making a minimalist race design road-legal meant adding indicators, hazards, horn, wipers, instruments and air conditioning, all without compromising the classic design, and in a system compact and robust enough for a low-volume handbuilt car.

The solution

A Hardwire PDM25 mounted behind the dashboard replaces the fuse and relay system and controls every auxiliary function. The harness around it was built to motorsport standards.

All electrical functions defined in software, with no complex hardware changes
Concentric-twisted harness with DTM connectors throughout, for compact packaging and reliability
Braided sleeving, DR25 and thermal insulation, in a modular layout that speeds up assembly

The results

One PDM and a tightly packaged harness give a clean, space-efficient install that keeps the car looking authentic. Removing relays and fuses cuts potential failure points, and the system is built to cope with heat and vibration. The result is a handmade car that is easy to live with on the road.
