\"Connaught03\"<\/a> If the United Kingdom has no carmakers, the country is at least full of dedicated craftsmen, who spend their lives designing and producing handmade cars. Even if life is harder since the EU passed stricter safety laws, there is a crop of new companies every year. This year the most important and original one is Connaught. Some craftsmen \u2013 such as Morgan \u2013 have produced the same car since the 1930s. <\/p>\n

Some companies \u2013 such as Noble – spend their time producing the best sports cars. Connaught chose to produce a sports car with an original V10 2 litre engine. Since the car was released to the press, engineers have gone back to work, done a feasibility study on the platform and concluded it was possible to stretch it by 4 inches. For Connaught, it\u2019s an opportunity to build a new model. Connaught plans to launch a new sedan in 2010 which would be equipped with a V12. This V12 would be given a supercharger to develop 360 bhp. <\/p>\n
