Caparo to preview new sports car

Special Correspondent

The car will commercially go on sale in April

LONDON: A new sports car, Caparo T1, manufactured by Lord Swraj Paul’s Caparo group, will be previewed at the Auto Expo, starting in New Delhi on Thursday.

The car will commercially go on sale in April. This is the first time that the Caparo group is taking part the New Delhi Expo.

In a press release here, the company described it as the “world’s most exciting driver’s car,” designed by senior engineers from the team that developed the ‘legendary’ McLaren F1. “The T1 uses a blend of race-car and road-car technologies to deliver astonishing performance that surpasses even today’s fastest and most expensive supercars,” it said adding that while it was intended primarily for the track, it could also be registered for road use.

Angad Paul, CEO of Caparo Group, said: “We have chosen carefully from motorsport technology and from Caparo’s range of advanced road car technologies to deliver a new type of vehicle that will thrill and delight the serious driver. This is an astonishing car for highly-capable individuals who appreciate the very best performance, in everything from engineering and vehicle dynamics to their own ability to safely utilise the car’s remarkable abilities.” In a statement, the company said that Caparo’s development in India began in 1994 with a joint venture with Maruti Udyog, and has continued with several new wholly-owned ventures.
