Speedster

This is a radical concept from the company designer Steve Kirk, combining the looks and driving experience of the early single seat race cars that made Connaught famous. It is basically a vintage race car for the road. To make life a little easier for the driver it has a coupe roof and locking doors incorporated into the dramatic sloping roof line. It also has a boot accessed via the lift up rear window.

Steve said “imagine having your own 1950,s light weight grand prix car for the road, what an amazing driving experience that would be. This would be a car you would take out purely for the pleasure of driving it!”

Power is from an all alloy fuel injected 2 litre V 10 running through a six speed manual gearbox. The car is very light weight due to its thin wall stainless steel spaceframe chassis and combined with the howl of the V10 should make for a spirited and exhilarating drive.

Future versions look to incorporate a Targa top arrangement and a supercharged engine.
