While you might be forgiven for seeing Vencer as just another (Dutch) boutique supercar builder with a strict philosophy (which it is), that does not detract in any way from the desirability of its production spec Sarthe.
While visually identical to the pre-production model that previewed it, the final version features some 100 changes.
These, according to the official press blurb, “the result of years of extensive development by a dedicated and passionate team. This vision has led to collaboration with high-end automotive suppliers and freelance experts willing to go the extra mile to develop a unique car with true character and analogue feel.”
If you look closely at the exterior, and have a comparable photo of the orange car, you will notice slight differences. For instance, it has “a new quarter glass design, open air-flow C-pillars, a new engine cover, aerodynamic front splitters and an automatic rear spoiler.”
The atmospheric V8 that used to power the prototype has been ditched. In its place is a new blown unit of unspecified origin. It’s a 6.3-liter unit that boasts 622 hp (over 100 more than before) and a torque figure of 838 Nm / 618 lb-ft.
It’s Vencer’s intention to hark back at “iconic ‘80s race cars,” and this is evident pretty much every aspect of the car, from the lack of driver aids, the exclusive use of a manual gearbox and the promise of instant, race car-like power delivery.
The price announced for the model is €270.882 / $348,859, but it includes no VAT.
