Welcome to the Connaught Motor Company

The Connaught marque, a grand prix winner in the 1950s, has been revived with the development
of the Connaught Type D, a high performance British sports coupe, packaged for the demands of everyday motoring.

  Innovation first

Connaught is unique in that the inspiration for our cars derives from a search for innovation, a desire to look at things differently and engineer breakthrough solutions. The Connaught Type-D looks different because it is different in so many ways.

  Big power now. Hybrid to come

The first 100 cars off the production line will be the V10 powered Connaught Type-D GT Syracuse. These will be followed by the petrol/electric powered Connaught Type-D h, offering the unique combination of supercar performance and hybrid economy.

Connaught Engineering

Connaught Engineering is the research and development wing of the Connaught Company. As well as the R&D on the Connaught Type-D car they have been responsible for developing a new type of so-called ‘mild hybrid’ technology that can be simply and inexpensively installed in commercial vehicles. This supercapacitor based device promises a 25% cut in fuel consumption with a similar reduction in CO2 emissions.
