Larkin Feroxa, the supercar with a surprise that was seen at the Goodwood Festival

At the Goodwood Festival you can see many striking cars, and some of them have not, for the moment, gone beyond the prototype stage. The Larkin Feroxa was presented as just that, as a prototype designed to surprise and to generate anticipation among an audience eager to see new things. And now it has been announced that it will go into production, although it will be in the form of a limited edition.

The vehicle comes from the work of British engineer Douglas Larkin, who runs a 3D design company, Capture Point, and who has set out to create a vehicle that aims to surprise and that, of course, will not be available to just anyone. It was not built from scratch; instead, it is based on the Aston Martin Vantage, which was manufactured between 2005 and 2018.

Thanks to this base, the model takes advantage of the 4.3-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine that the Aston Martin was equipped with. That said, this engine has been optimised to deliver 40 CV more than in that model, reaching a total of 420 CV. In the future, the brand assures that it will be sold with a V12 engine delivering 500 CV. That said, a manual gearbox will be available with both engines.

The original panels of the Aston Martin Vantage have been replaced with others made of carbon fibre. The weight targeted for this model is around 1,300 kg, which would make it a very light vehicle with very appealing handling for those who enjoy driving.

Aesthetically it also gains, thanks to elegant headlights integrated into the bonnet, complemented by round daytime running lights. The rear features LED light clusters that are very elegant, and a diffuser that adds a very elegant touch. Only 10 units will be built, at a price yet to be announced and which will certainly be quite high.
