Official: Savage Rivale reveals GTR track-spec Roadyacht
You wouldn’t expect something called the Roadyacht to weigh as little as 1,030 kilos (2,270 pounds), but that’s the curb weight that niche Dutch automaker Savage Rivale is claiming for its new GTR racing model. Couple that with between 700 and 800 horsepower, and what started out as a boulevard cruiser is shaping up as a serious performance machine.
That boulevard cruiser, as you may recall, is the , a four-door exotic hardtop convertible, which in roadgoing spec is already pegged to pack 600 horsepower from its Z06-sourced 7.0-liter V8.
The GTR packs an extra one or two hundred horses (this time from a turbocharged 6.2-liter V8), and while its creators were initially hoping to claim the Nürburgring lap record for four-doors, that the racing model has just two doors – and makes no such claim – leaves us wondering where the plans changed.
The finished product is set to make the mid-April trip from The Hague to Monte Carlo for the Top Marques Monaco show, after which no more than 69 examples will be made available at €141,250 (before taxes, or roughly $185k) – which is significantly less than the €257,000 sticker price for the street version (around $335k).
