Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The original Superlight began production in 1996 and now there’s a 20th Anniversary edition, the Superlight Twenty. You can guess how many cars there will be in the extremely limited production run.
The car was launched at the Goodwood Revival and will cost not £20,000 but £29,995 and can be ordered now.
For that you get bare aluminium bodywork, and carbon fibre elements like the cycle wings, rear wings and the nosecone. That’s a 6kg weight saving. To go with that is a 135bhp version of the Ford Sigma 1.6-litre engine, working through a six-speed manual. All this gives a 0-60mph time of 4.9sec and a top end of 122mph.
There’s a special edition plaque and gauges, and the key and gearknob get the motif added. The seats are from the Seven 620 R, with the carbon fibre bases covered in commemorative embroidery. Sitting in there, you are promised an experience which is “raucous”.
