David Brown Automotive will unveil its all-new car this week in London. Early teasers for the car confirm that its design will be based on a British automotive icon with a vibrant, retro personality, remastered for the 21st century.
The new model, which is the second vehicle to be built by David Brown Automotive in the UK, is code-named Project 2. Whilst sitting at a lower price point than the brand’s debut model, the new model will still, just like Speedback GT, be available in a fully bespoke specification to suit every customer.
Project 2 will also take significant design cues from the Speedback GT and will be hand-built at the company’s new headquarters at Silverstone, which will open in this summer.
Available in a range of trim levels, customers will be able to choose from a brand-new colour palette for the car’s interior and exterior, as well as from a wide range of accessories and options to fit each and every customer’s personality.
Confirmed for the private reveal in London, David Brown Automotive will showcase three cars, including two limited production ‘Inspired by’ special editions.
David Brown Automotive will handcraft every Project 2 using traditional coachbuilding methods, much like the Speedback GT. It will have the facility to build up to 100 Project 2 cars per year, alongside the production of Speedback GT. It will also showcase the company’s focus on combining modern-day connectivity, technology and reliability with retro, coachbuilt style and design.
“I am delighted to announce that we are launching our new project this week. We have already received a lot of interest in the project, and combined with our recent success with Speedback GT at the Geneva Motor Show last month, 2017 is set to be a great year for the brand,” said company founder David Brown. “The new model takes inspiration from Speedback GT, our very first project, as well as one of my favourite cars ever built. Project 2, like Speedback GT, combines iconic and retro design with traditional coachbuilding and modern technology and connectivity. I can’t wait to show it off!”
