RML's 250 SWB recreation has now reach the pre-production stage, with this example ready to commence its development cycle -
250 SWB but don’t have the required millions to get hold of one, as RML’s reboot has now reached the point of pre-production. This high-metallic blue example has been completed in order to commence the project’s pre-production development phase before customer cars are delivered from the spring.550 Maranello underpinnings with a bespoke body designed in the image of the iconic 250 SWB.
Despite the 40 years between the original 250 SWB and the 550, the two actually share remarkably similar proportions in wheelbase and height, with only the overall width proving to be substantially different. This made it somewhat easier for RML’s chief designer, Jonathan Bowen, to transfer the SWB’s iconic design to this all-new car.
The 550’s F133 5.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, six-speed gated manual transmission and limited-slip differential ensure modern levels of performance and some good old-fashioned driver involvement. Peak power and torque figures are accurate to the 550 at 478bhp and 419lb ft, but performance is projected to be slightly ahead of the donor car, with a 0-60mph time of 4.1sec and a top speed of 185mph.
The interior will take a similar approach to the exterior, with a bespoke design that references the 250 SWB but using the 550’s dashboard architecture and structure to form a more usable and spacious environment. RML has designed the Short Wheelbase to be functional in everyday driving, so modern creature comforts will also be included as part of the package.
Unsurprisingly for a project like this, RML has not given any indication of price, but considering the sheer amount of custom fabrication that will go into each example – not to mention the rising values of the 550 Maranellos that RML will need to chop to pieces in order to create each one – we suspect it won’t be cheap.
