The
Spania GTA Spano was
first showed off in Valencia in 2009 with a 780-horsepower V10 from the then-
Dodge Viper. Two years later it was at the
Geneva Motor Show with evolved bodywork in carbon fiber, kevlar and aluminum, a roof that could be transparent or opaque at the press of a button, a 217-mile-per-hour top speed, six-piston AP racing brakes and 330-series Pirelli PZero Rossos. A tank full of biofuel raised that horsepower number to 820, and it was said to do the standstill-to-60-mph run in 2.9 seconds. There would be 99 made and deliveries would begin in 2012.
A
production model appeared at last year's Geneva Motor Show with a few more changes and the same specs, deliveries still promised by the end of last year. This year Spania GTA is bringing an even more powerful version of its supercar that's still trying to notch up its first delivery (click the image above to enlarge), and while the company has remained mute on numbers, we've read
anything from 900 hp to
1,200 hp coming from that 8.3-liter V10. That model could be called the Spano R, and it might be followed by a Spano Roadster.
You can bet the R model will cost more than the 475,000-pound (570,000 euros, $719,227 US) 'regular' model, and it should go faster than 217 mph when you get a nice road and a clear horizon ahead. We'll catch it standing still when we get to Geneva next week.
