Prato Orage, a French supercar set to carve out a place in the market

The supercar market is growing spectacularly. There seem to be no limits to the manufacturers of this type of car who go off the scale and that only a few can aspire to drive. In summer we usually see some of these models that are almost unique, because there are several events that lend themselves to presenting these models to the world and that are eagerly awaited by their enthusiasts. The latest supercar we have heard of is the French Prato Orage supercar.

The only model that exists for now is the one you can see in the image gallery that accompanies this article. The first news about this car dates back to 2017, but so far we have not had much information about the French supercar. What catches the attention, beyond the car’s physical appearance, is the engine that powers it.

Who manufactured this engine has not been made public, but it is known that it has a displacement of 8.1 litres and delivers a power output of 900 CV and a maximum torque of 1044 Nm. These figures allow for an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and propel it to a top speed of 370 km/h. Figures that place it among the great cars and that will not disappoint anyone who sits behind the wheel.

There are other reasons to think it is lined up on the starting grid of great luxury cars. For example, the Prato Orage uses a driveshaft made of carbon fibre, as well as a hydroformed chassis and carbon ceramic brakes. The lights use OLED technology and the connections of the electronic systems are made with 24-carat gold, which improves the flow of electricity and provides better response overall.

We will see it in action soon, as it will be one of the supercars tackling the climb up Goodwood Hill with World Endurance Championship driver Oliver Webb.
