The Jet Age. An era born out of renewed positivity and a growing belief that

anything was possible. Jet power revolutionised the world and the race was

on to build the sleekest and fastest jets.

We were going places and jet propulsion was taking us there. Automotive

design was at an all-time high. Manufacturers and coachbuilders across the

world were taking inspiration from supersonic flight. There was a need for

speed and it wasn’t slowing down.

Speedback Silverstone Edition encapsulates this period of time, subtly

recreates the mood of the Jet Age and propels it into the modern day.

Speedback Silverstone Edition is a tribute to the GT racers

of the past. Its sleek, streamlined aluminium body reveals

its muscular, flowing proportions, indicative of speed, power

and performance.

There is no doubt that the 1960’s was a period that inspired

some of the most beautiful automobiles ever made. When

those cars were made lighter for competitive motorsport, they

revealed their true form and their simplified lines made them

even more desirable.

With a nod to its Sixties roots, and performance-focused

characteristics, Speedback Silverstone Edition has been

created to deliver pure driving emotion combined with

elegant, timeless styling.
