British luxury carmaker David Brown Automotive has recently released the first teaser photos of their first sports car, which will be unveiled to the public at Top Marques Monaco on April 17.
Based on the awesome Jaguar XKR, the car - codenamed Project Judi - will have a "completely original exterior and interior design, realized through the highest quality materials and craftsmanship."
Motivation will be provided by a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine which produces 510 hp and 625 Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission that allows the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h.
Founder David Brown said: "As reliability is vital, we chose to adopt a thoroughly proven and acclaimed chassis that not only delivers dynamic performance but also lends itself to our lightweight aluminum design. Renown for its performance and handling, the XKR has been extensively developed and refined by one of the world’s greatest car manufacturers, making it an obvious choice on which to base our car."
