Falen Supercar By Dowdeswell and Hardie – A Scottish First

Appearing like a cross between an Audi and a jet fighter with all the attitude of a 1980’s pure breed to boot, Scotland’s first supercar looks determined to leave the rest of Europe in the dust. That is, if it goes into production.

Named after an old Scottish spirit, the Falen is the brainchild of Gleneagles-based design studio Dowdeswell and Hardie, who plan to reveal the car at next year’s Geneva motor show.

A 5.5 liter Judd V10 squeezes out an impressive 800 hp, which, when complemented with lightweight carbon fiber materials, offers what one can imagine to be a drive more satisfying than the smoothest of single malts.

Also of note is a hinged glasshouse that retracts at a wide angle for entry. Only four units of this motoring marvel will be made available for sale, assuring exclusivity to those who can afford it.
