BARNARD

Allow us to introduce you to a new type of performance car, one designed to provide owners with the character of a track machine thus building something which would satisfy an appetite for high-speed motoring –and also provide an exceptionally high level of feedback in terms of sensory and tactile qualities. It would have to exceed the expectations placed on a supercar.

Barnard, V8 powered and twin-turbocharged. This dramatically-styled machine will be capable of speeds well in excess of 300 km/h and a 0 – 100km/h acceleration time of less than four seconds. It also handles impeccably, thanks to an exceptionally rigid monocoque chassis.

This is a car which has been built with the objective of breaking down barriers sparing no expense to make it into what we believe is a single-minded performance machine.

This is a piece of art, but it is functional art. It is designed to be driven in an enthusiastic manner and appeal to the senses of the performance aficionado.

It’s inspiration is the designer’s passionate love of endurance racing and the Barnard is based loosely upon the machine which dominated races like Le Mans.

It doesn’t have vacuum-assisted brakes or anti-lock assistance. It doesn’t have traction control. It is all down to the driver. What it does have is a monocoque chassis made from high-tech steels such as DOMEX and DOCOL, which combine exceptional strength with light weight and the ability to be bent and shaped in a way which ordinary metals can’t. The layout of the chassis resembles that of the Porsche 962, arguably the seminal sports-prototype endurance car.

The front suspension attaches directly to this rigged structure while at the rear a sophisticated tubular cradle accommodates the engine, gearbox and rear suspension. The car has been designed to accept a number of different powerplants, specifically high output V8’s.

While the development prototype is powered by a Porsche V8 significantly altered and strengthened both internally and externally to provide approximately 650 hp, the design can accommodate a range of engines, the intension being to allow buyers to choose from a number of modern V8’s.

To ensure stability at speed, the aerodynamics, like the chassis, is inspired by competition. Barnard’s other love is aviation and the car’s interior is inspired by the cockpit of a fighter jet. A bank of white-faced gauges monitor everything from engine oil pressure to the temperature of the gear-box and even exhaust gas temperature, while a battery of switches in the roof control lights, wipers and other functions.

When potential customers examine the Barnard closely – whether it be the suspension layout or the fact that the windscreen and side glass have been made specifically for this car – they will realise that it is designed to offer not only a very special motoring experience, but also exceptional quality.
