Spiess TC 522


Spiess is not a company you'd expect to be dabbling in the new hypercar market, the German company were better known for manufacturing industrial electrical transformers. But in the late 80's and early 90's this exotic market where money and wealth had to be shown, they put its hat in the ring with this. It ticked all the hypercar boxes, mid engined (5.7ltr V8), turbo's (2), top speed of 211mph, 0-60mph in 4 seconds, 500bhp, 6 gears and plenty of this new fangled carbon fibre.
