David Brown Automotive is going to reveal a new
limited version of the Speedback GT, dubbed the Silverstone Edition, at the
Geneva Motor Show. The new DBA Speedback Silverstone Edition will feature a
more aggressive styling than the GT model it’s based on as well as offer over
600 hp.
The British boutique manufacturer released a pair of
teaser images showing the car’s badging, saying that their latest model “takes
hints from the aeronautical and motorsport heritage of Silverstone” which
happens to be the location of the company’s headquarters.
The new performance-focused model will be strictly
limited to just 10 examples and will be built by hand alongside the Speedback
GT and Mini Remastered at DBA’s Silverstone facilities. For those who don’t
remember, the Speedback GT is a coachbuilt special that pays homage to the
Aston Martin DB5, featuring a hand-crafted aluminum bodywork. The car’s
underpinnings come from a Jaguar XKR, including its supercharged 510hp 5.0-liter
V8.
The other model in DBA’s range is the Mini
Remastered, a true coachbuilt version of the beloved classic that features a
brand new and de-seamed body shell along with a strengthened chassis and a more
powerful 1.3-liter engine.
David Brown Automotive will reveal the new Speedback
Silverstone Edition on March 6 at the Geneva Motor Show.
