The Vencer Sarthe Supercar: Build From Teenage Dreams

A Young Boy Saw A Car And Dreamt Of Building One

As a teenage boy, Roben Cobben, the founder of Vencer Sarthe supercar was fascinated by what he saw at a Le Mans event he attended. That was back in the 1980s. In 2010, he founded Vencer and set down to building a supercar as fascinating as the one he had witnessed.

The Vencer Sarthe was unvelied in 2012 but came in a better and more refined form at the 2013 Top Marques Monaco. The engine is a naturally aspirated that can pull as much as 510 horses and 480 pound-feet of torque. With such numbers, the Sarthe was sure had become an impressive car worth giving a second look.

One of the unique approaches that this start-up gave its car is building its own infotainment system called the Vencer CIS. In their own words, they call it a “concise multitasking digital display.” In an intuitive way, it delivers all the important information drivers may need but mostly keeps to the essentials.

Selling at $347,826, the Sarther was built to be a status machine, one that could deliver a sporting experience while maintaining a minimalist approach. It’s not all the time that we have people living their dreams.

Those who fortunately do have a chance of changing the world, making an impact and winning a place in the annals of history. This is exactly what Roben Cobben attempted to do in building the Sarthe supercar.
