Last week the trailer for the RENN550 was made public.

Today, I break down the design details and share some of the partners involved in creating what will be one of the few truly remarkable sports cars. It's a big statement, but in a world of huge horsepower, huge tyres and excess, the RENN550 stands alone.

Lightweight, appropriate power and torque, low to medium grip. The car will be designed to feel urgent but move around on the throttle. To feel like a Porsche 550 Spyder but on steroids.

The intention for this project is to reimagine the Porsche 550 Spyder silhouette. Capitalising on the beautiful shape and dimensions, however, using latest technology materials and construction to create a road-going sports car that embodies everything from both yesteryear and today.

There are three key design acknowledgements.

- Lotus 111 chassis as a platform to build upon.

- Carbon fibre composite body construction.

- Aircooled Porsche derived powertrain.

The intent is to produce a low volume sports car, tailorable for any market (LHD/RHD/Central position). Additional sponsorship is being sought.

Options for system/build contribution, product, and financial, are all options.
