History

A prototype of the Sarthe was unveiled in 2013 by Prince Albert II of Monaco at the Top Marques auto show in Monaco.[1] In September 2013, it was awarded the 'Most Sensational Supercar 2013' award.[1] The first Vencer Sarthe was sold at a Vencer dealership in China.[2]

Performance

The Sarthe is powered by a supercharged 6.3 liter V8 engine that was designed by General Motors and tuned by Hennessey.[2] It produces 622 bhp and 618 lb-ft torque.[3] The car has a top speed of 338 km/h (210 mph), and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds.[3]

Design

The Sarthe was inspired by 1980s 24 Hours of Le Mans racecars.[4] It has an 'automatic' rear spoiler and carbon fiber bodywork that is manufactured at the Vencer factory in the Netherlands.[4][2] All the panels on the inside of the car are made with carbon fiber.[5]
