At the end of 2010 Vencer laid the foundation with the development of a completely new supercar. Internally this secret-project was known as “Number one”. The inspiration for the car has been drawn from iconic ’80s race cars competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The design details incorporated into the Sarthe are a subtle tribute to the iconic racing cars from the ’80s Le Mans era. The bodywork of the Sarthe is a tight wrapping of the raw power that lies beneath, expressed in smooth lines and profoundly sculpted flanks. The fluent shape of the car allows the lines to run cleanly from the short bonnet to conclude in a typical and aerodynamic long “Kamm” tail. Low, purposeful and sleek, the Sarthe talks performance and agility.
MY2015 Distinct design features.
The MY2015 production model has some notable new exterior design features including a new quarter glass design, open air-flow C-pillars, a new engine cover, aerodynamic front splitters and an automatic rear spoiler. The new quarter glass design in clear coat carbon with open C-pillars increase the aerodynamic flow and together with the automatic rear spoiler they provide additional down force on the rear axle. A new engine cover design and larger side air inlets have been integrated to ensure a greater airflow and cooling to the new engine.
