Engine as well as performance upgrades are only part of the story, though. Taking motivation from jet planes as well as motor racing of the 1960s, as well as developed to celebrate David brown Automotive’s very first year in its Silverstone factory, the new design is a stealthier-looking cars and truck than the Speedback GT.

Sitting on 20-inch ‘Afterburner’ alloy wheels, the Silverstone edition sports a mesh, rather than slatted radiator grille, as well as features far less chrome than the common Speedback. The staying brightwork is cleaned chrome-plated aluminium, while the David brown Automotive badges are completed in monochrome instead of the colours of the Union Flag.
Extended side sills, a larger front spoiler as well as bigger side vents likewise feature, while the Silverstone edition is completed in ‘Fly by Night’ paint, decorated with a subtle centre stripe. remove rear light lenses, a larger rear spoiler as well as ‘jet inspired’ exhaust ideas total the look at the rear. 
Inside, the Silverstone Edition’s seats are completed in intricately-brogued leather, as well as aerial maps of Silverstone sit on the dashboard as well as headrests. The little rear seats of the common Speedback have been eliminated for additional luggage space, however the ‘event’ seat – which unfolds from the boot floor – remains, as well as beneath it sits a tailor-made cam storage case.

More photographic nods are to be discovered at the LED headlights, which, taking motivation from 1960s spy planes, have been created to look like cam lenses. interior tech includes a 7.2-inch infotainment system, sat nav as well as a Bowers & Wilkins stereo. 
The Silverstone edition will be made utilizing the exact same coachbuilding techniques as the Speedback GT, so its aluminium body will be rolled by hand for around 3,200 hours. production will be restricted to just 10 models, as well as the Silverstone edition is priced from £620,000 before tax – a £100,000 premium over the Speedback GT.
