Following in the trail blazed by the likes of the Savage Rivale GTS and the Spyker C12 Zagato comes another super car bearing the proud colors of the Oranje.
This new piece of four-wheeled exoticness goes by the name of Vencer Sarthe, a hand-built model by the fine folks of Vencer, who apparently want to break into the growing super car market of the European country.
Despite looking a little bland for a super car – the rear end looks like a boring mess of blah – the Sarthe boasts of the finest materials that are “supercar worthy.” For example, the entire body is made out of carbon fiber – always a good thing – while also carrying a space frame chassis that's been built of steel and chrome-moly tubing. It rides on a new set of either 19″ or 20 alloy wheels. Again, that's cool to know.
More than that, the Sarthe's calling card – as with any other exotic for that matter – is its power train. Packing a mid-mounted V8 engine, the Dutch super car is capable of producing 503 horsepower and 480 lb/ft of torque while mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Those figures translate to a 0-62 mph time of just 3.8 seconds with an impressive top speed of 202 mph.
As with most niche super car models, don't expect a mass produced Sarthe anytime soon. Vencer has already said that production will be very limited and we're not about to start questioning that decision.
After all, for a company that's still looking to break into an extremely competitive industry, testing out the waters sounds like a pretty good idea.
