In 2004, the Connaught name was revived by Connaught Motor Company for their Type D Syracuse and Type D-H hybrid supercars.

These cars were ahead of their time technically with a narrow angle V10 engine mounted between the seats for better weight distribution and handling with the option of an electric supercharger which boosted power to 300bhp and 247 ft-ibs of torque. A planned later version replaced the supercharger with super capacitors which were similar to the systems found in Lemans prototype cars.

Unfortunately through funding issues the car never went into production. The company is now owned by Bevan Davidson International. We plan to resurrect the brand by building a number of the remaining original Type D,s followed by an updated and restyled version.Tim Bishop the engineer behind the original Type D is now MD of our sister company Villiers Engineering and is working with us on future engine and powertrain developments. This will be followed by a range of exciting new models using the best of the Syracuse technology and V10 engine and derivatives of this. The first of these being the Connaught Speedster.
