IN 1969 THERE WAS ONE AMERICAN VEHICLE ON THE SURFACE
OF THE MOON AND ANOTHER ON TOP OF THE WORLD.

Why settle for the mediocre, the mundane and the middle road when you can have a 2-seater sports coupe designed to beat the rest? The CAV GT is a handcrafted recreation of the gritty, spirited sixties super car that sped to victory at Le Mans a few times over. In keeping with the ethos that pioneered the original racing icon, the CAV GT has evolved through extensive research and development. It now sports more than 40 enhancements. The CAV GTs interior is as thrilling as its sleek exterior. Built for performance, its stainless steel monocoque chassis is TIG welded from CNC punched panels and features side impact protection bars and an integrated roll bar. Fitted over this gleaming nucleus is a low-slung Vinylester body that is painstakingly shaped and sculpted to achieve the perfect form. Its performance is vigour and velocity mainlined through a small block Ford V8 producing well in excess of 400 hp, driven through a 5- or 6-speed gearbox. An 8-branch header exhaust system gives the engine maximum breathing capacity. The end result of this is acceleration of 0-60mph in 4,5 seconds and top speeds of 200mph. Gut-wrenching exhilaration is mediated by superior suspension that keeps the CAV GT glued to the road. Re- designed front and rear uprights have been engineered to withstand the rigors of racing conditions and there are now 16 adjustable rose-joints on the rear suspension alone. Creature comforts have not taken a backseat to performance engineering. Concessions have been made to allow for greater head and legroom, good news for anyone up to 64. Ergonomically sound leather-clad adjustable seats with original brass grommets invite luxury and plush interior carpeting enhances the soundproof factor. The CAV GT comes with a choice of customised features that include colour variations, a road or racing car version and engine and transaxle options. And for those who crave the satisfaction of putting the pieces together themselves, the CAV GT is available in component form too. Auto Futuras lead times are the best in the business, so you dont have to wait until you are past your prime to own a CAV GT. This is one leap worth taking. Auto Futura.
