VIDEO: Bell & Ross AeroGT revealed
French watchmaker unveils new supercar concept that hits 100km/h in less than three secondsLuxury watchmaker Bell & Ross has followed up its 2014 B-Rocket motorbike concept with a futuristic take on a supercar.
Called the AeroGT, the new concept comes powered by a 445kW 4.2-litre V8 twin-turbo that’s combined with an eight-speed automatic.
Performance will rival the McLaren 650S, claims its makers, with the AeroGT said to reach 100km/h from rest in less than 3.0 seconds, topping out at around 320km/h.
Created as a “starting point for the creation of a new pair of watches inspired by the automotive world” the AeroGT is claimed to be a car that’s half concept car and half aeroplane.
Its designer, Bruno Belamich, also says it celebrates Italian GT racers of the 1950s and 60s and name-checks the Ferrari 250GTO, in particular.
Standing just 1100mm tall and measuring 4700mm long, the AeroGT mimics a jet-fighter’s glass cockpit, while at the rear its exhaust appear to make it look like a jet fighter.
Also reflecting its aviation input is the rear tail fin that’s said to add stability.
It’s unlikely the French watchmaker will ever push its supercar into production.
