Named after the amount of horsepower the V8-powered coupe can produce, Mulholland Automotive has drawn on its 20 years of supplying components to Formula One teams and supercar manufacturers to design and develop the two-seater sportscar.
Current stock on the Baytree website includes a 1963 Aston Martin DB4 Sports Coupe, with a price tag of £450,000, a £189,9000 Ferrari 430 Scuderia Coupe 4.3, and a £114,900 6.3l Ferrari FF V12.
Director Stephen Pinchbeck said the business, which specialises in prestige brands such as Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche and Bentley, has seen turnover rise from £750,000 to £1.5 million a month.
He said the company had also doubled the size of its showroom this year to accommodate the increase in cars it now has available. Mr Pinchbeck said: “Extra investment in the company has meant that we have gone to the next level in 2020.
“We have a passion for high-quality cars and were delighted recently to become recognised as a true Supercar dealership by the Supercar Driver Club.
