BAC Mono - Silverstone Test Day

2011-12-11T10:12:00.000Z

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.

Our next two experience days take place on the 17th March and 2nd April. Places are going fast, so book early! For booking enquiries please contact us on James.Huntley@SuperVettura.com

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.

The car was put through a variety of acceleration and braking tests, the recordings are as follows:

0-300 km/h = 14.53 sec
0-200 mp/h = 17.68 sec
300-0 km/h = 6.66 sec
200-0 mp/h = 7.28 sec
0-300-0 km/h = 21.19 sec
0-200-0 mp/h = 24.96 sec

These figures have really pushed the performance boundaries and set new standards for supercar performance.

Goodwood Festival of Speed

2011-07-04T15:42:00.001+01:00

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 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.

Early Design Work

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!

Custom Hide

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

Gold Lady

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!
