This is the Salica GT described by its maker as 'an evolutionary development of the Noble sports car' and will 'continue where Noble and TVR left off'
The Salica GT is hand built in England and has a unique roof design that allows the car to be both a hardtop and a convertible with a lightweight roof that can be detached in seconds.
There are two longitudinally mounted engine options- a 3.5 V6 developing 400hp or a 3.5 V6 twin- turbo developing 500hp, both are dry- sumped. The gearbox is a Graziano 6 speed as used by Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maserati, as an option you can specify a 6 speed sequential 'box.
Performance figures are estimated at 190MPH top speed and a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds.
Paul Bailey the business owner and chief designer states that the company aim to build bespoke cars to suit the customer needs- from interior and exterior specifications to specific performance demands.
