Great to see that the first Stradale we manufactured for David Hutchinson is finished and in the press. The rolling chassis was fitted with a Maserati V8 engine with BMW throttle bodies and a Ferrari 430 gearbox which we converted to manual H pattern.
We conducted rolling road testing of the car, please message us for a video of the tests where the engine produced 420bhp and 400lb.ft of torque.
The bodywork was produced using our tooling, before going to PPW to be assembled, painted and trimmed.

Stradale Sport Ltd and its sister company Caral Automotive manufacturers a range of exciting sports and racing cars mainly based on Lotus
and Alfa Romeo mid-engined models.
From an homage to the Alfa Stradale 33 of the late 90's to a modern interpretation built on the Alfa Romeo 4C carbon fibre chassis.Both cars use a version of the Ferrari 430 V8 engine ( as used in
the Alfa 8C ) mated to our own 6 speed manual gearbox based on Porsche 911 (997) internals.
Having been Project Manager's on the Lotus Sport Exige V6 race car of 2005 we also have extensive knowledge of modifying the Lotus aluminium chassis to take a longitudinal V engine on an extended wheelbase.
We also have a passion for the Lotus Esprit and manufacture our own chassis for the cars to allow the installtion of the Jaguar V8
supercharged engine and 6 speed manual gearbox.
The company also specialises in one off customer cars, including sportscars inspired by the Lotus Elise GT1 V8 road and race cars of the 1990's.
If you have a project please get in touch, we have inhouse faciliies for chassis manufacture, suspension design and composites production
operating from our base on the Herts/Beds border.
