A few weeks ago a Dutch firm announced the launch of their new supercar, Vencer Sarthe, and it didn’t really cause that big a stir to be honest. But reading the specs sheet, you can’t help but be impressed with what Vencer has achieved with this car. It is a brilliant effort.
In fact, there is only one thing wrong with Vencer Sarthe, and that is the mahoosive 270,000 Euros (220,000 GBP) price tag. That is Ferrari F12 money, and who’s going to say no to that and yes to this unknown and fairly ugly supercar? If it wants to sell at that price, Sarthe needs to get either more aggressive or more attractive.
