From Slovenia Comes The Sleek Tushek Renovatio T500
Built With Racing Love For Ordinary Usage
Slovenia may not be a household name as far as supercars are concerned but there sure does seem to be some enviable petrol heads ready to give things a different household. But just before you dismiss their capability of curving out provocative machines, you must know that some top brands have some of their components produced here.
Ferrari and Ducati have their panels produced here while the ceramic brakes on Porches are also made in Slovenia. There is a supercar here named the Tushek Renovatio T500 created by Aljosa Tushek of Tushek Supercars.
Mr. Tushek was a supercar driver before he found some fun building his own cars. In creating the Renovatio T500, Tushek picked a K1 Attack Roadster, an impressive machined that had come to the scene in 2010 through a man named Oliver Ashley.
It is Ashley who is actually credited with putting Slovenia on the map for supercar creations back in 2010. When the K1 Attack underwent the gruesome process to become the Renovatio T500, its makers aimed at achieving only one objective: building what would become “the ultimate supercar.”
Like many start-up supercars these days, the Renovatio is doing everything possible to be different from the crowd. It prides of considerably low curb weight of 1133kg(2500 lb).
This is made possible by the combination of tubular chassis as well as lots of carbon fiber or composite body. It uses a V-8 4.2 liter Audi engine that emits 450hp.
This one drives the supercar from 0-62mph in a paltry 3.7 secs, setting it well within the right margins of supercar competitions. Body styling is also something this eye-catching low-sitting vehicle has managed to get across rather well.
Its scissor doors are n instant hit with fans wherever it goes. Then there is a removable hard-top convertible that helps the Renovatio to get kill two birds with one stone.
But this also a car whose owner takes so much pride in. He says, “Our car is full of emotions and emotion enhancing technology, much of it focused around lightness creating one of the best handling, lightest and fastest supercars on the circuit with uniquely good looks for the road. As a race driver I have long dreamed that I would be able to drive a road car that provided the response, the turn in, traction and tactility that we expect from a race car but that could be usable every day.”
In several ways, he manages to achieve this dream.
