"We don’t hear much about Spanish automobiles on this side of the Atlantic. But the sporty economy cars of Spain's longstanding marque, Seat (pronouced "See-at”), are quite common in Europe. The Spano, on the other hand, is exceptionally exclusive with only 99 examples being developed for as many very lucky drivers. GTA Motor is an engineering lab that develops technology for Formula 1 racing cars, and it’s quite clear they haven’t cut any corners in developing their first road car. A strikingly beautiful body of titanium, carbon fiber honeycomb, and Kevlar is wrapped around a colossal 8.3 liter V10 that’s been supercharged to achieve stratospheric output of 820 horsepower.

That time-honored combination of light weight and heavy power sends the Spano to100 kilometers per second (62 miles per hour) in less than three seconds and on to a top speed of “over 217 m.p.h.”

With a panoramic sunroof, carbon-swathed interior, and big swooping exterior lines, the Spano ticks all the boxes for supercar greatness. It stands out without being gaudy, and stands up when the driver puts his foot down."

"The Roadyacht GTS is one of the most unique automotive concepts I’ve seen to date. Billing it as an “ultimate luxury lifestyle accessory,” Dutch coachbuilder Savage Rivale has undeniably captured that French Rivera je ne sais quoi and harnessed it to four wheels.

To start, it’s a four-door convertible. If that’s not novel enough, those doors move up and out so the sides end up facing the sky to allow entry, making the vehicle look like some kind of budding flower when completely open.

The interior is beautifully appointed with quilt-stitched seats, touch-screen digital dashboard, a floor that looks like a boat deck, and of course a champagne cooler as a standard feature.

One would think all these toys would make the Roadyacht a slow, porky thing – but they don’t. Despite being burdened with an automatic transmission, the car's V8 engine propels the Roadyacht to 62 m.p.h. in a very impressive 3.4 seconds and affords it a top speed of over 200 m.p.h."

"100 kilometers per second"

LOL, someone made a pretty serious typo. Accelerating from 0 to 100 km/s in 3 seconds would be scary as hell. That would be 360,000 km/h in 3 seconds! To make that easier to grasp for Americans, that is 223,694 MPH or Mach 291, beyond the abilities of the fastest jets in the world. LOL... It's amazing what a small typo can do.

No it's not a typo, it was tuned by Covert Tuning Dynamics

you deserved that "like" you earned it

Thank you sir. I will wear it proudly.

So what you are saying is that it's traveling faster at 1 second that its actual top speed??? DAfuq???? HAHAHA Yeah its a typo, it seems like ...........kilometers per "hour".

the GTA Spano is actually pretty cool, maybe not the prettiest car, but at least its unique and something different... the supercharged V10 in it is from the Viper
more info here GTA Spano

Knew about both of them, three words: Top Marques Monaco.

The Savage Rivale is a beauty, I´d have one any day

Roadyacht GTS is pretty cool

The GTA Spano is a flip flop car in my eyes some days I like it others I don't, the Savage Rivale one the other hand is a car that I see people either loving or hating and I love it! It's got enough uniqueness to it that sets it apart and draws me to it but not so much that I think to myself yeah it's cool but it'll never be made.
