Oddball name, but 661bhp is not to be sniffed at
A Dutch firm has created this, undoubtedly one of the most bizarre and idiosyncratic supercars around. It’s called the – deep breath – Bewerp Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS and its makers claim it is the world’s only four-door supercar.
The car, which for brevity’s sake we’ll call the Roadyacht, is based on the current-generation C6 Corvette. It is powered by a supercharged version of GM’s 7.0-litre LS7 V8, a naturally aspirated version of which is found beneath the bonnet of the Corvette Z06 and the C6 R GT1 Le Mans racer.
Folding hardtop retracts in 20 seconds
Power is claimed as 661bhp at 6200rpm, while torque hits 538lb ft at 4800rpm. Bewerp reckons this should make the Roadyacht good for 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 205mph.
The aluminium and carbonfibre Roadyacht has a folding hard-top and Lamborghini-style doors, the rear one revealing leather trim that runs most of the length of the car’s body.
Most odd, however, is the entry system - the Bewerp locks and unlocks via a bespoke wristwatch.
Prices for the Roadyacht start from around £205,000, and just 20 will be built.
