Hybrid V10 300 hp – Connaught Type-D GT

The Connaught Type-D GT is a 2 +2 sports coupe that offers the best performance in its class. The result is the most versatile sports coupe that can be enjoyed on the racetrack.

Connaught made history in 1955 when he became the first car of post-war British commanded by a British driver to win a Grand Prix. Tony Brooks, the driver in this first Grand Prix, could speed up and beat the Italian and German driver, who were the cars and drivers who dominated the World Championships at that time. With an average speed of 99.05 mph Brooks not only broke the previous record, but also revitalized the British motor industry.

Connaught celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Syracuse victory with the introduction of a high-performance car the “Connaught Type-D Syracuse Edition”. This innovative and beautifully designed car, hand-made is a tribute to the legacy of Connaught. With production limited to 100 vehicles per year, ensuring exclusivity.

In the heart of every great sports car, there is a great engine, and this is the case of the Connaught GT. Designed and built by Connaught, the 2.0 liter supercharged, V10 engine offers 300 hp, giving the GT a better power to weight ratio compared to vehicles in its class. The Connaught V10 offers a maximum speed of 273 km / h.

Extraordinarily flexible potency is not the only reason for their excellent performance. Equally important is its lightweight, stainless steel is used and has an aluminum structure for the body, leaving or standing at the kind of leader for strength and rigidity.

The location of the engine, weight, and a technology of low center of gravity, ensures perfect weight distribution provides greater agility, balance and exceptional handling. Connaught is the only one that combines outstanding performance with a broad 2 + 2.

Refining, the Connaught GT Syracuse comes with custom leather and aluminum interior, climate control air conditioning system and Isofix child safety.
