The Appeal

founded in 1984 by Rona and Arthur Wolstenholme, Ronart are no replica car maker. For only forty years, they've been producing unique, authentic track-and-road legal cars inspired by the golden age of the mid-century Formula One racer. That means that the W152, the company's flagship model, offers a rather beguiling fusion of the young and the old - one that's inimitably powerful, too, with a huge 299hp V12 Jaguar powerplant.

The resulting lightweight 'race' car performs on par with modern sports cars, boasting a top speed of 290 km/h and a 0-100 km/h time of just 4.3 seconds. Quite a high-octane experience for one so lightweight, aided by a forgiving suspension and steering system that keeps the Speedsters easy to drive for the less experienced driver.

A beautifully engineered big boy's toy. What more do you need?
