At an exclusive media briefing in London today,\u00a0David Brown\u00a0Automotive<\/strong> unveiled its unique handcrafted GT car for the first time. This exciting and highly anticipated new car, which is designed, engineered and hand-crafted in Britain, will be called Speedback<\/strong>: a name which reflects the elegant yet purposeful lines of the V8 powered sports\u00a0coup\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The realisation of a dream<\/h2>\n

Speedback<\/strong> remained at the venue in London over the weekend for viewing and will then travel to Monaco to be shown publicly for the first time at the exclusive Top Marques show, which runs at the Grimaldi Forum from 17th to 20th April. Speedback<\/strong>\u00a0will be on display on stand F3 and the full team will be available to discuss the car, its specifications and to take orders during the event.<\/p>\n

Company founder and CEO, David Brown<\/strong> has a long-standing background in engineering, vehicle\u00a0manufacturing and an equally strong enthusiasm for both classic and contemporary cars (although he has no connection with either Aston Martin, its founder, Sir David Brown, or with the David Brown Group). With his concept for a classically styled GT car with modern mechanicals and reliability, he\u00a0began to assemble his specialist team some two years ago.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe launch of Speedback<\/strong> <\/i>is the realisation of a dream for me, and is the result of skilful and\u00a0dedicated work by a team of highly talented designers, engineers and craftsmen. I am delighted at the reaction of the media, our suppliers, potential customers and friends, and I look forward to presenting\u00a0the car to the public in Monaco\u201d.<\/p>\n

Unique styling<\/h2>\n

Speedback<\/strong> is the result of 18 months of hard work by the David Brown Automotive<\/strong> team,\u00a0including highly-experienced Chief Designer, Alan Mobberley. Speedback<\/strong>, which has been engineered and handcrafted in Coventry, proudly uses traditional British materials and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Speedback<\/strong>\u00a0<\/i>name perfectly reflects the classic sports car tradition\u00a0of the past, whilst also doing justice to the sophisticated silhouette of the car\u2019s hand-built body and\u00a0unique styling which features amongst much other detail, a fold-down picnic seat. Indeed, the Speedback<\/strong> looks like a carbon copy of a DB5 and boasts a fine British pedigree as did the famous DB5.<\/p>\n

The Speedback<\/strong> got the same oval grille, spear-shaped front fenders, and stacked tail-lights that look like rocket exhausts. It\u2019s all rendered in lightweight aluminum as well.\u00a0The proportions are a little different though, because David Brown<\/strong> stretched the DB5\u2032s styling over the modern chassis of a Jaguar XK.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the\u00a0Speedback<\/strong> promises exceptional performance and handling from the latest Jaguar 5 litre supercharged engine producing\u00a0507bhp and 461lb ft of torque. The Speedback<\/strong> gets from 0-62mph in a healthy 4.8 seconds, and will hit a shade more than 155mph.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis car will appeal to anybody who desires a truly individual sports car, which can boast a fine British pedigree and which will only be produced in limited numbers, thus ensuring the kind of exclusivity associated with Britain\u2019s once proud heritage of traditional, high-quality, automotive coach-building\u201d, said David Brown<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Speedback<\/strong> will make its public debut at the Top Marques show in Monaco, which begins April 20. Pricing will be announced at a later date, and the company only plans to build 50 of these cars per year.<\/p>\n
