The First Production RML SWB is Ready for Delivery to its Owner
No, it’s not flat pack, but it is headed across the Atlantic very soon. The first production RML SWB (which is a modern take on a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, though the company can’t say that for legal reasons) is ready to be delivered to its owner.
Hand-built in the U.K.
The RML SWB was meticulously hand-built by a team of RML’s finest craftspeople over the course of nine months in the U.K. Now, it’s time for the car to make its way to the U.S., where it will join its new owner’s impressive collection of vehicles.
On Display at Monterey Car Week
Before finding its new home, the RML SWB will be showcased at Monterey Car Week. The company’s CEO, Michael Mallock, will be present to show off the car to classic car enthusiasts who may be interested in owning one of the 29 other examples that RML plans to build.
Distinctive Design
The first production model of the RML SWB features a distinctive triple-layer yellow paint with deep metallic blue stripes. The Swedish color-scheme is complemented by satin chrome highlights. The unique color combination continues inside the car, where blue upholstery is contrasted against yellow highlights in the stitching and other areas.
Impressive Performance
Underneath its classic exterior, the RML SWB packs a punch. It is powered by a 5.5-liter Ferrari V12 engine that produces 479 horsepower (357 kW/486 PS). The power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. This allows the SWB to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).
Modern Amenities
While the RML SWB maintains its classic appearance, it offers modern amenities on the inside. The car is equipped with electric seats, air conditioning, navigation, smartphone connectivity, and even cupholders. RML has put a lot of effort into ensuring that the SWB combines the best of both worlds – classic design and modern convenience.
Deliveries Coming Soon
With the first production car ready for delivery, RML is gearing up to send out the remaining models to their respective owners. The company expects deliveries to take place in the coming weeks, allowing more enthusiasts to experience the thrill of owning a modern interpretation of a classic car.
In Conclusion
The first production RML SWB is a testament to the hard work and attention to detail put in by the entire RML team. From its stunning exterior design to its powerful performance and modern amenities, the SWB offers a unique driving experience that combines the nostalgia of classic cars with the convenience of modern technology. As more examples of the RML SWB hit the road, it’s clear that this restomod is set to make waves in the automotive world.
