Auto News

Naran Automotive? never heard of them before. It’s a brand new sports car company founded by 34-year-old Ameerh Naran. The aptly named Naran is a 2 + 2 luxury ultra car, it’s made by the rich for the ultra-rich and only 49 examples will ever be made. The Naran is powered by an old school front-mid mounted 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. The engine is tuned to  produce 1,048 bhp and 1,036Nm of torque. The motorsport-inspired aerodynamic package helps produce 1,377kg of downforce, more than a GT3 race car. The Naran will be capable of 0-60mph in less than 2.3 seconds, 0-100mph in 4.56 seconds and an expected top speed of over 230mph,

Power is delivered by an all-wheel-drive system, providing both secure traction and confidence-inspiring performance in all conditions, with the option to switch to rear-wheel drive for a challenging, yet rewarding, analogue driving experience. The bespoke, race-derived double-wishbone suspension will apply adjustable front and rear anti-roll bars and camber and toe adjustments so customers can tailor the dynamic set-up to meet track specific demands.

Damping is provided by an Ohlins four-way adjustable race-spec system, enabling the driver to push their vehicle to the absolute limit even in the most demanding track conditions. The Naran will also adopt a race-grade hydraulic steering rack, carbon ceramic brakes developed for endurance racing, and spherical bearings for improved steering feel and precision.

Founder Ameerh Naran started a private jet business in his early 20’s and built it into a very successful venture using a brokerage business model. However, he was always a car nut having previously and unsuccessfully competed in open-wheel racing. He once considered a career in Automotive Design but found his true calling was business.

It’s not uncommon for successful businessmen to start their own small bespoke car firm. Often these businesses have a limited time span. However, Ameerh Naran is hiring the best people to ensure the product that bears his name is made to the highest of standards.

The Naran was styled by Jowyn Wong, founder of Wyn Design and visionary behind the Apollo IE and De Tomaso P72. Vehicle dynamics was developed with motorsport expert Daniel Mense, renowned for his work on the NIO EP9 – the electric car Nürburgring lap record-breaker. The interior is designed by former Aston Martin Lagonda designer Kate Montgomery.

So how much will the Naran cost? between £500,000 and £1,00,000. The model will debut in early 2021. The Naran will be engineered to the latest in automotive standards and technology. But in many ways, it is old school in terms of its philosophy.
