  • GTA Spano Showing Its “Graphene” Construction in Geneva

    Instead of writing about my most favorite car (Civic Type R) and its world premiere in Geneva, I decided to focus on something more unconventional. In the end I’ll definitely review the “red badged beast”, but it is now more important to bring the attention on a model which is made in Spain. And presuming that I am not talking about the Seat, you have probably already figured it out – it is the GTA Spano.

    In 2015 GTA Spano seems to be the first supersports car which has incorporated in its structure a revolutionary material such as the graphene. But this is not new information. As Spania GTA says this car is an entirely new model, and although we can’t see as many differences on the outside as we have imagined, the company states that the changes have been internal and include literally all components.

    Precisely, the new carbon monocoque chasis features innovative elements like the titanium and graphene. They were chosen not only because of their rigidity but also because of their lightweight characteristics. As a matter of fact, the chassis and even the leather have incorporated graphene during their manufacturing.

    Speaking of innovations, at the heart of this supercar lies the V10 twin Turbo 7,990 cm3 engine. It produces 925 hp (680 kW) and 1220 Nm (900 lb-ft) of torque. The powerful unit is coupled with a sequential seven-speed gearbox which is carbon synchronized.

    This new power system accelerates the GTA Spano from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds on a way to a top speed of 370 km/h. And this is pretty impressive. The Spanish company will produce only 99 examples of this beauty so if you are keen on buying one you’d better hurry. What’s left in question is our desire to know more about this special graphene material.

  • Next Generation GTA Spano Teased Ahead of Geneva Debut

    Geneva Motor Show will see the birth of the brand new GTA Spano super car. The new model of Spania GTA will feature the most advanced technology in its manufacturing such as “graphene”. The latter is a result of the collaboration between Spania GTA and Graphenano and this will make the car the firs supersports vehicle to incorporate this technology into several of its components.

    As it turns out to be, the new model will carry the same name as its predecessor, but will feature several changes. The company has revealed that they are regarding the quality, design and craftsmanship during the development of the car. Unfortunately, nothing more was confirmed in terms of the design of the car.

    However, there is some official data regarding the new engine. GTA Spano has developed a brand new V10 twin Turbo unit with 7,990 cm3 displacement. It will produce 925 hp (680 kW) and 1220 Nm (990 Nm) of maximum torque. This will help the car accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of over 370 km/h.

    In addition, the chassis and bodywork of the model has been crafted from carbon fibre, titanium, Kevlar and grapheme. This will maintain the identity signs of the Spanish brand, its strong personality and will also make a debut in the automobile sector through its revolutionary build approach.

    In other words, Spania GTA will take a qualitative leap with its new GTA Spano. Oh, what we forgot to tell you is that the new model will have a limited production of just 99 vehicles.
