New supercar manufacturer Naran Automotive has revealed the exterior design of its first ever model – the Naran, a 2 + 2 ‘hyper-coupé’.
Set to officially debut in early 2021, just 49 examples of the four-seater, all-wheel-drive, front-mid engined model will be built.
The car’s bespoke 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine is being made in Germany and vehicle dynamics are being overseen by EY3 Engineering and Daniel Mense, who is known for his work on the NIO EP9 – the electric car Nürburgring lap record breaker.
The Naran, it is claimed, will be capable of 0-60 mph in under 2.3 seconds, 0-100 mph in 4.56 seconds, and a top speed of over 230 mph, with its V8 producing 1,048 bhp and 764 lb-ft of torque.
The car’s aerodynamic package is further claimed to deliver 1,377 kg of downforce, which exceeds that of a GT3 race car.
Jowyn Wong, founder of Wyn Design and the man behind the $2 million Apollo IE and the $1 million, 1960s race car-inspired De Tomaso P72, has shaped the exterior design, while colour and materials design has been overseen by Kate Montgomery, a former Aston Martin Lagonda designer.
“Our vision is to create the most beautiful and thrilling cars in existence, inspiring future generations to pursue their wildest dreams,” says the company’s 34-year old CEO, Ameerh Naran. “The Naran is the true embodiment of art on wheels, designed and developed by some of the greatest minds in the industry.”
