Naran’s debut prototype – a stunning, four-seater hyper-coupe – will make its UK debut at this year’s Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace on August 28-31.

The car made its world debut in Andermatt, Switzerland, in June, but its attendance at Britain’s most prestigious luxury automotive Concours, held in surroundings of unmatched grandeur, will be the first time the knowledgeable UK audience can view it.

Naran’s debut vehicle was initially announced in 2021 and built in Germany before finishing in Coventry, UK. Company founder Ameerh Naran conceived it to be the perfect blend of an ultra-high-performance vehicle and an object of pure beauty.

The first ever Naran model will be positioned on the lawn and members of the Naran team will be on hand to explain more about what promise to be incredibly rare vehicles – only 39 will be built and, with unparalleled customisation options available to owners including the chance to christen their own edition, each one will be a unique luxury creation.

Naran founder and CEO Ameerh Naran said: “Our cars are about indulging our owners in unparalleled tailoring and visceral performance, offering them all the things they have always dreamed about in a vehicle, in an aesthetic, luxury and driving experience sense.

“Our unprecedented customisation options mean our customers can even give their vehicle its own name. And, because the car has four seats, our owners can share their vision with others, too.”

The car will produce up to 1,000bhp thanks to its bespoke 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering a competitive 0-60mph time. Those opting for a more race track-inspired aero pack, informed by the adjustable systems used in motorsport to enhance downforce, will benefit from an aerodynamic package promising a GT3-style driving experience on road and track.

The car’s sleek lines and aggressive, motorsport-inspired styling were penned by Apollo IE and De Tomaso P72 stylist Jowyn Wong. It is formed of composite panels bookended by dramatic, hinged clamshells at each end.

Inside, the opulent materials featured include premium CNC-milled billet aluminium and tri-hue minimalistic soft-touch textiles and leather, although owners will be able to specify an unmatched range of different materials, styling and finishes.

Owners can also choose to tailor the car’s exterior, whether turning heads with its style and elegance on public roads or opting for a more aggressive, performance-led aero pack.

The launch prototype model boasts a plush, ruby-themed exterior finish and cockpit with delicate almond gold accents. The upper environment features ruby-woven textile, while the lower surfaces are finished in leather. The two materials combine to upholster the carbon-shelled seats. Coated in the same ruby leather, the seats and steering wheel also feature almond gold stitching.

On the floors, woven fabric and removable carpets in darker smoke and charcoal black hues ensure that the high-end feel of the interior is carried through even into the footwells.

Meanwhile, the centre console and feature panel feature stone grey and black chrome accents and various other dashboard elements are finished with satin ruby and almond gold paint.

Owners of the Naran will have an almost unlimited range of options available to them, with early requests including horse-hair, marble and granite effects, and gold leaf trim.

Deposits of £300,000 are now being accepted to reserve an allocation.
