BAE Vantare V12 (1 of 10).
British Automotive Engineering (BAE) is currently working on a new Bond-style sports car in Essex, Great Britain. Of course, it will be a grand tourer with a V12 under the hood. To avoid having to start on a blank sheet of paper, the BAE team led by actor and TV presenter Bradley Walsh looked around intensively and finally selected a good existing base. This comes from the Aston Martin DB9, which rolled off the production line at Gaydon between 2004 and 2016. By using base cars that have already been approved, it is possible to concentrate on other things that have to be developed. Only the roof and windows remain from the original body. All other body parts are given a new look in the style of classic sports cars, such as those driven by Sean Connery as James Bond 007. State-of-the-art hybrid materials such as carbon fiber composite are used for this purpose.
An the end, the newly created vehicle goes by the name of Vantare and is limited to just ten units. All upcoming owners will be able to configure their respective cars completely freely. In addition to colors for the paint and interior, this also includes mechanical upgrades that provide more power. Without these modifications, the six-liter V12 with automatic transmission already ensures that the Vantare accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and on to a topspeed in excess of 180 mph. Leather upholstery is available in a choice of smooth or suede and in modern or classic colors. There are also polished aluminium elements and hand-finished exposed carbon trim. Standard equipment also includes an advanced infotainment system with nine-inch touchscreen display, navigation system, DAB radio as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Hi Hazel! I know it’s probably more a signal that I should just put down my phone instead of checking how people say on social media, but I do begin to question my perception of Mitch Evans driving. Is his actually more of a reckless style and more prone to accidents compared to the grid overall? How would the accident today affect the relationship between him and the team (and potentially his future teammate)? I’m sorry if the questions are too disturbing :( Thank you!
you're welcome to ask me stuff :) I realise I sometimes take literally months to answer things but I'm always happy to get questions. the hate essays less so but I guess swings and roundabouts.
honestly like, not to be a twitter bloke but: these people do not know wheel. Mitch, throughout his entire time in Formula E - a series with crashes well above the average - has always been a clean driver. there's maybe a handful of incidents, in all the races he's done, where he's had significant or even balanced amounts of blame.
early on in his FE career Mitch had to be patient, in a significantly substandard car. the Season 3 Jaguar was barely built and very inefficient, in order to get points in it he had to bide his time and wait for opportunities and that was something he got really good at.
his driving style is about the most confident you can be while driving a Formula E car. he's not messy, he doesn't do questionable overtakes. take this Season 4 one from Punta del Este; the Jaguar was a pretty mid car compared to the Virgin (Sam Bird, after all, took the latter to title contention) but this was such a great move on Alex Lynn.
Mitch has never played the bumper cars game and he doesn't clatter drivers. he's sustained an astonishingly low amount of damage over his career, a few apocalyptic incidents like his car failing to move in Berlin aside.
so: no, he does not have a reckless driving style and he's generally a very safe driver to go wheel to wheel with. the only time I can think of that it's really got argumentative was with Sam in Diriyah but - and with the absolute greatest love and respect for the bloke - Sam definitely does have a terrier style of driving where he worries and worries at the other car until they give way.
I don't think that today will have an impact on his relationship to the team. Mitch knows this was his fault but it was a small error, a minor misjudgement that saw the car slide (and I actually think he's over-blaming himself because there was a lot of cement dust at turn seven) and the team are not going to reject him or disparage him for it.
this has been a painful, painful year for Jaguar as a whole team. Mitch lost a result today but he's had two taken from him by his teammate and others compromised by issues. there's going to be a long, difficult period of digestion at Gaydon and of course, lessons going forwards but Mitch making one minor misjudgement is just part of how motorsport works.
what they care about is that his car didn't flip, it wasn't as bad an accident as for a second it looked like it was about to be.
