Exclusivity, that is something that is highly valued at Autogespot. Exclusive cars are of course abundant here. Today, we can introduce you to the cream of the crop. You couldn’t get more exclusive than this at the moment. We are delighted to introduce you to the Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS. The first ever four-person-supersports-cabriolet.

It is the 28th of October when we are waiting at the ‘Prinses Beatrixlaan’ in The Hague. We had been offered an exclusive photoshoot by the men behind Savage Rivale. As the van with trailer turned onto the sidewalk, there was no way to remain unnoticed. No one knows what they are dealing with and some pull over to take a closer look. A Ferrari? Lamborghini? Ferrari? Lotus? No, the Savage Rivale is everything but well-known. That, while this is a very, very ‘Dutch’ product from The Hague, realized by students from the ‘Hogeschool’ (College) of The Hague.

In April, this year, the Savage Rivale was introduced to the public on the luxurious car show Top Marques Monaco. An ambitious project with a final goal to produce and sell twenty cars. Since April, loads of things have been bettered. The men have begun cooperating with Progression-Industry, a company that specialises in optimizing the combustion-engine. The engine that powers the Savage Rivale at the moment is the engine from a Corvette C6. Eventually, it should be replaced by the engine from a Corvette ZR1. Due to the optimizing, this engine is supposed to produce more energy and 10% more power. The extra energy could be used for all sorts of things, including the cooling of the champagne-bar. A four-person-cabriolet obviously needs a fine champagne-bar.

For the development of the production chassis Savage found a good partner in Wiet Huidekoper. With the help of his experience they will work on lightening and stiffening the chassis. The suspension will also be improved. With the experience of Wiet Huidekoper, who developed race cars for big names such as Chrysler, Nissan, Opel, Porsche, Lola, Royale and Reynard, this will result in the perfect chassis.

Further they are working on a lot of small and original things. The guys over at Savage want to develop special lights which light up the contours inside of the headlamps as well to create a special 3D vision of the headlamps. They also planned a track session to see what the Savage is capable of. This may be an opportunity to convince the people wanting to place a pre-order with the results of the test to actually place the order. There are some people interested in the Savage, very good news!

But there is even more good news! In December the Savage Rivale will have a MOT-test. When this is done, it is possible to see this thing on the open roads!

We found it very interesting to do a photoshoot with this car and to go on a night out with the very relaxed developers of this Savage Rivale. We will keep you updated on all the Savage news to come!
