"The concept car, in coupe form, was first revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2006.  Such was the interest that we conducted extensive research to assess demand, culminating in the decision to initially offer an open-top CanAm version, celebrating Hulme's victories of the "Can Am Championship" in 1968 and 1970", said Jock Freemantle.

The super sports car features an ultra-lightweight carbon composite tub and bodywork, and race-orientated chassis, suspension and braking.

The car weighs leass than 1 000kg, so the performance will be staggering – 0-100km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and top speed over 200mph.

For Greeta Hulme, the widow of Denny - who passed away in 1992 – the announcement of the Hulme CanAm's production is warmly welcomed: "Jock Freemantle's desire to honour Denny's life with this unique car has been matched by his irrepressible enthusiasm and passion to create it. I am both proud and immensely impressed with what he and the Hulme Supercars team have achieved."

The price is just as amazing as the car - £295 000 (plus local taxes), including delivery worldwide.
