The world of hypercars is a thing of beauty. Not for the fact that the cars achingly beautiful (in majority of the cases) and achingly expensive, but because it captures the imagination as cars are supposed to. On 3-5 September 2015 two more hypercars will be shown to the world at the ultra-exclusive Salon Privé event held at Blenheim Palace: Tramontana R and the GTA Spano.
Salon Privé is an invite-only event aimed at featuring a collection of supercars and hypercars at one place, at one time. This year the event will be held for the first time at Blenheim Palace and the cars will be exhibited on the Palace’s South Lawn.
Tramontana R
Tramontane, a custom-built car manufacturer, will launch its very own hypercar at the event; the Tramontana R. The name might not be very original, but clients can have their cars customised according to their own likes and preferences. In typical Tramontana-fashion. The R will come in two specifications: a twin-turbo V12- or a V10-engine. All the latest technologies and gadgetries will be to the cars’ and clients’ disposal with each car being hand built to unparalleled standards.
GTA Spano
Spanish firm Spania GTA has been involved in motorsport since being founded in 1994 and have now tried its hand at producing a road car: the GTA Spano. This hypercar is powered by the company’s own twin-turbo V10-engine that produces 695 kW and a whopping, earth-ripping 1 220 N.m of torque. Top speed is 370 km/h and the 0 – 100 km/h sprint takes a mere 2,9 seconds.
A new sequential seven-speed gearbox has been specifically designed for this new hypercar, as well as a new carbon monocoque chassis. Exotic materials such as titanium, graphene, and Kevlar will also be employed to make the GTA Spano a true rarity. Spania GTA says that their hypercar will offer extraordinary rigidity and lightness.
Only 99 units of the GTA Spano will be produced, so pricing is expected to be on the expensive side.
Andrew Bagley, managing director of the Salon Privé, shared his eagerness on exhibiting these two hypercars: “We’re incredibly excited to host these Spanish hypercars at this year’s event, which will inevitably draw plenty of attention from visitors.
“The fact that Tramontana and Spania GTA have chosen Salon Privé to showcase their models is testament to the influence of Salon Privé as a leading luxury and automotive event.”
However, we are still eagerly awaiting the first international driving impressions of these two cars.
