David Brown Speedback GT 2014-2021

The Speedback is based on the all-aluminum Jaguar XKR (XK150) platform and uses its V8 engine. The twin-scroll supercharged 5.0L AJ-V8 engine has a 92.5 mm × 93 mm (3.64 in × 3.66 in) bore and stroke, and produces 503 bhp (375 kW; 510 PS). Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph) and the car can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.8 seconds.
The Speedback is stylistically similar to the Aston Martin DB5 and DB6 and was designed by former Jaguar Land Rover designer Alan Mobberley. The bespoke body of each Speedback GT is produced using traditional coach building methods; the aluminium body panels are hand beaten and then rolled over an english wheel. The bucks over which the panels are beaten have been milled out using a 5-axis CNC milling machine from CAD data, obtained from the full-size design clay model.
The car is available with either 2 or 2+2 seats. In the luggage compartment there is an additional folding bench, which can be folded out to the picnic. The carriage is 4.77 m (188 in) long, including mirrors, 2.09 m (82 in) wide and 1.32 m (52 in) high.
No more than 100 Speedback GTs will be built, priced at about £495,000.[3]
At the 87th Geneva Motor Show in March 2017, the revised version of the Speedback GT was introduced.
