dan heb je ook nog de GT2 (ja ook nog wat cabrio's) met zelfs 475pkFrom the outset, Marcos set out on a customer driven campaign to develop the TSO GT as a pure driving machine.
The “TSO” or “Omologato” is derived from the Marcos racing blood line and as such delivers an awe inspiring 400 horsepower in a two seat roadster that weighs just 1090kg. These impressive power to weight figures enable the TSO GT to accelerate to 60 mph in just 4 seconds and to 100mph in just 9 seconds. Top speed for the TSO is estimated to be over 185 mph.
Power for the Marcos TSO GT is provided by a 5.7 Litre V8 Engine derived from the same GM powerplant used in the Chevrolet Corvette and Holden road and race cars worldwide. This engine has also taken Marcos racecars to numerous motorsport wins over the last decade, including winning the British GT Series Championship. This Aluminium Alloy engine is extremely reliable, lightweight and compact. The TSO GT benefits from Marcos enhancements that increase low end torque for enhanced drivability. The resultant performance is “ferocious in a straight line, as demonstrated by its 80-120 km/h time of just 2.2 seconds, which is quicker than the steroid fed Dodge Viper”, according to NZ Autocar Magazine.
The TSO GT provides driving agility and impressive road holding due to extensive chassis development and testing under a partnership with Prodrive – a recognized leader in chassis dynamics, vehicle dynamic systems and powertrains. Currently, Prodrive has six World Rally titles and five British Touring Car Championships to their name.
Lead by Damian McTaggart, formerly the designer of TVR’s Cerbera, Tuscan and T350, the TSO design team coupled classic sculpting techniques for real-time feedback with state of the art CAD techniques for precision and speed. The TSO GT design emulates some lines from the 45-year winning history of Marcos, while taking the company's design forward in precision, quality and style. The end result is a unique, beautiful and menacing sports car with impressive performance figures.
The Marcos GT2 is a race bred Grand Tourer available in two forms. The Sports Package offers stiffer suspension, racing brakes and and 475 horsepower, the Touring Package features softer suspension and additional touring features.
The TSO GT2 design team took styling cues from Marcos’ 45-year British motorsport heritage, resulting in a distinctly British sports car with classic flowing lines.
The TSO GT2 tips the scales at a lightweight 1150 kg, and can accelerate to 60 mph in just 4 seconds, continuing on to a top speed of 185 mph.
The Marcos Mantis XP was a one off sports racing car built in 1968 primarily to promote Marcos cars at Le Mans. Originally fitted with a Formula One Repco Brabham engine, and later changed to the small block Buick, the car made only one appearance at the Spa 1000KM race in 1968, and was then shipped to the US where it has being beautifully restored by the Morris family

A stunning ex Jim Russell car with a fascinating history. Used in the film ‘Grand Prix’, the car appears in the original film brochure leading the field onto the grid at Monaco. It still has the long nose with air ducts, like a Lotus 25 GP car, and is the only Lotus 22 that remained a Lotus in the film, the others being converted to look like BRMs, Ferraris etc.
Totally restored and in excellent race ready condition. Fitted with a period Stuart Rolt twin cam and woobly wheels.
A very rare yet useable car

This race ready Lotus 23B was originally delivered to the UK with a 1600cc Twin Cam engine.
It arrived in the US shortly after and was raced in the 60's and 70" by Ed Cicotte. For some time it had a F1 Climax V8 with Colotti transmission and also a 2.0l BMW motor.
Cicotte sold the car in the 70's to Ed Dickenson, who continued racing the car with the BMW engine.
In the mid 80"s he began to convert the car back to a Lotus Twin Cam, but the project was never finished.
Mr. Dickenson died in 2002 and the car came to its current 4th owner. The restoration was then finished to original 23B specifications including the 1600 TC motor and Hewland 5-speed transmission.
The car has been successful raced since 2004 by it's current owner.
The MWE built Lotus has now less than 6 hours of running time and produces 195hp with 140ft/lbs of torque.
