BAC Mono Update

 

SuperVettura have recently been doing some more customer experiences in the fabulous BAC Mono.

 

As a track car the BAC Mono is incredible. It looks like an extreme race car but from the original drawings this car has been designed to be very usable. This usability extends beyond simply being able to drive the car on a race track. The Mono is more about enjoying the experience of driving regardless of the location.

 

For many people being able to drive their car to the race track offers a massive bonus. We spent some time road testing the Mono - some of this was in rush hour driving through our local towns and the car worked superbly. The Mono is far more at home on the roads than its appearance would suggest.

Spyker Aileron

 

SuperVettura currently have the only Spyker Aileron in the world. This is the brand new Spyker model which will start full production later this year.

 

The Aileron is an entirely new design with a brand new all-alluminium space frame which has been built to increase torsional rigidity and to incorporate the new suspension system.

 

The Aileron is larger than the previous car offering a more stable ride at high speeds and more interior space.

 

The specification is as follows:

Aluminium 4.2L Mid mounted engine. Fully stainless steel exhaust system with active bypass valves.

Max Power : 400bhp

Max Torque: 480Nm

0-62mph: 4.5 seconds

Max Speed: 187mph

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saywell International Track Day at Goodwood Circuit

 

We attended the second Saywell event of the year at Goodwood Circuit. A superb charity event for those with a passion for supercars.

 

The track was full of hypercar exotica and the weather couldn't have been better - pictures below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Arrival - Porsche GT3 RS 4.0

 

The latest RS car from Porsche has been labelled as the best evolution in the series of RS branded cars.

 

The Telegraph reviewed this car as 'Impossibly wide, hunkered down to the ground and looking every inch like a full-blown racer, the 4.0-litre version of the already hardcore GT3 RS is about as extreme a road car as you're likely to find.'

 

This RS has a larger (4.0) engine making it the most powerful RS car to date. This car is a full six seconds quicker than the previous RS around the Nurburgring.

Geneva Motor Show

 

SuperVettura attended the Geneva Motor Show 2012 as the official UK dealers for Koenigsegg Cars. It was a fantastic show with the 2013 Agera drawing in the crowds.

 

The 2013 Koenigsegg Agera R will feature the worlds first hollow, one piece, super light carbon fiber wheel. These wheels will save approximately 20kg in unsprung weight. The only metal part in the wheel is the tyre valve. The 2013 Agera and Agera R will have the first production engines in the world to use nano-surfaced cylinder sleeves, from ANS, for reduced friction and fuel consumption.

 

The rev limiter has also been raised from 7250rpm to 7500rpm which raises the power from 940 to 960hp on the Agera and from 1115 to 1140hp on the Agera R model.

Lamborghini Reventon Now in Stock

 

One of the most exclusive Lamborghini's is now for sale at SuperVettura - The incredible Reventon. This vehicle epitomises everything that Lamborghini stands for.

 

Inspired by the stealthy, aerodynamic lines of a latter-day fighter jet the Reventon is the production follow-up to the concept that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.

 

Built to just a number of 20, this particular vehicle Car No. 18 is the sole Reventon Coupe in the UK.

 

Car No. 18 has spent its life from delivery in the care of one Lamborghini collector and is in exquisite condition. Having covered just 1,600 km (995 Miles) the car is a true collectors dream.

 

The Reventon features a extreme designed and unique carbon fibre exterior with all 20 cars finished in a matt mid-opaque grey.

This car is a true collectors item and something that must be seen to be appreciated.

 

Due to the fact this is the only coupe for sale in the UK it has created quite a media frenzy:

BAC Mono Track Testing at Silverstone Circuit

 

Early December saw the first of our Mono Experience days at Silverstone. These offer potential customers the opportunity to meet the team and gain expert tutelage from BRDC Superstar and Mono test driver Oliver Webb, before stepping into the car and experiencing first hand the thrill of driving Mono on the world famous circuit. It is great to see the enthusiasm people bring to the car, and the smile on their faces having driven Mono for the first time.

 

The guests started off driving a race prepared Porsche under the guidance of Oliver Webb to get a feel for the track and learn the correct racing line before spending the rest of the day perfecting their skills in the Mono.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Koenigsegg CCR at VMax Event

 

We recently took our Koenigsegg CCR to Bruntingthorpe to take part in a VMax 200 event.

 

An incredible variety of supercars took part and it was a great day - Putting 806hp onto the runway is certainly an exciting way to spend the afternoon.

 

Perhaps next time we will bring something even quicker :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Return of Pablo Rabiella - Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe

 

After the crazy creation that is the Purple Menace - A Phantom finished in a psychedelic combination of purple, yellow and white with an interior to match SuperVettura have now completed another Rolls Royce.

 

This time Pablo Rabiella commissioned a bespoke Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe. This car is finished in Black Kirsch and a deep metallic red. A brighter red is then used to highlight some of the finer details. This paintwork in combination with a full set of limousine tints certainly makes this a very menacing looking car. A very different concept to previous work that has been commissioned, a superb addition to the fleet.

 

 

 

 

 

New World Records for Koenigsegg

 

Today the Koenigsegg Agera R set some new production car world records at the Koenigsegg proving ground in Ängelholm, Sweden. The Agera R is sensationally fast - 1100BHP and an incredibly lightweight body gives this car a power to weight ratio of 779bhp/ton which is staggering.

0-200 mp/h = 17.68 sec

300-0 km/h = 6.66 sec

200-0 mp/h = 7.28 sec

BAC Mono with AutoCar

 

SuperVettura attended the Mono photoshoot for Autocar magazine. Steve Sutcliffe was designated to put the car through its paces. Being in such proximity to the action really confirms how thrilling the Mono experience is; the smile on Sutcliffe's face said it all!

 

 

"This car is all about how much fun you can have behind the wheel. And my word does it deliver - like no other car I've ever driven." (Sutcliffe, PistonHeads Review)

Goodwood Festival of Speed

 

SuperVettura had an excellent weekend representing Koenigsegg and the BAC-Mono at the Festival of Speed. Both the cars were situated in the supercar paddock and took part in the supercar run.

 

The Agera was a massive crowd pleaser as it is currently the only one in the UK:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The BAC Mono was making its world driving debut - For many people it was the first time they had seen anything like it before - A single seater, road legal race car!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Mono is based on a Formula 3 car and there is nothing else like it on the road today. The engine is a 2.3L Cosworth engine and produces 280BHP - in a car that weighs just 540kg the performance figures are simply staggering! The aerodynamics and the Formula 3 underpinnings make this a truly driver focussed machine!

Rolls Royce Phantom by Pablo Rabiella

 

SuperVettura were behind the hotly publicised and completely bespoke Rolls Royce Phantom.

 

Many hours were spent with our client to create computer generated renderings to perfect the designs before the work started.

 

In total this incredible project took seven months to complete. In this seven months we took a completely standard silver Rolls Royce Phantom and took everything off the car - every single piece of trim, every single panel, every single stitch!

 

Every single aspect of this car is completely bespoke. In total 24 hides were required to trim the inside of this Phantom.

 

All of the chrome was stripped from the exterior and covered in 24Ct Gold. Different metal flakes were used in each of the coloured layers. The purple layer has an incredible multi-coloured flake within it, a blue flake in the pearlescent white layer, a gold flake in the yellow layer. When the car glistens in the sunlight it looks truly stunning.

 

As soon as the car was finished we delivered it to Marbella by hand - it certainly got some looks on the way down.

CarFest North and South hosted by Chris Evans

 

In August and September SuperVettura attended CarFest - a motorshow/music festival event organised by Chris Evans. The idea was to bring the best cars, music and food together in one place whilst raising money for BBC Children In Need.

 

CarFest was a superb event and very different to the more traditional events that we usually attend.

 

Chris Evans brought his Magnificent 7 to the show which looked incredible on the Hill Climb and in the evenings we were treated to some music from the likes of Razorlight, Paloma Faith, The Magic Numbers and Texas.

 

We took a great range of cars from our Pagani Zonda F Roadster to our BAC Mono.

 

Hopefully the crowds at CarFest 2013 will be even bigger!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scandinavia Show at Earls Court

 

This year we were invited to the Scandinavia Show at Earl Court.

 

The Scandinavia Show is the only UK show dedicated exclusively to showcase the best of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands. The show incorporates Scandinavian design, travel, lifestyle, fashion, culture and food.

 

We took a Koenigsegg Agera and a CCR Revo Edition to the show. The organisers were kind enough to display our cars right at the entrance to the show. The Koenigseggs were incredibly well received from the visitors - particularly the Swedish ones!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TopGear Live - Koenigsegg and BAC Mono

 

SuperVettura had a great time at this years TopGear Live hosted by Clarkson, Hammond and May. As the UK dealers for Koenigsegg and BAC we took our CCR Revo and a Mono to the show. We also had a Mono in the live arena where the Stig could be seen putting this road legal racing car through it paces.

 

 

 

This was the best TopGear Show to date with a special tribute to 50 years of James Bond and a host of other stunts with fireballs and explosions in true TopGear style. Special guest appearances from Shane Lynch, Johnny Vegas, Johnny Vaughn, Ortis Deley, Lamar, Zoe Salmon and Max Whitlock made the live show even more exciting!

 

Watch the video below for some close up action of the BAC Mono being driven by the Stig...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TopGear Live - Koenigsegg and BAC Mono

 

SuperVettura attended their first Boat Show in January.

 

We took a Pagani Zonda, Koenigsegg CCR Revo and a BAC Mono to the event held at ExCeL London.

 

Our supercars offered a slight change of scenery from the incredible boats that top brands such as Princess, Sunseeker and Fairline had taken to the show.

 

Thank you to all of those who came to see us at the show - we look forward to seeing you next year!
