Facel Vega: Making a Comeback, Concept Paris V
Standard and Performance Trims
The performance model is claimed to have 550 hp (410 kW / 558 PS) and 505 lb-ft (684 Nm) of torque. Thanks to the extra power, the range-topping variant has an acceleration time of 3.5 seconds. This classic coupé with two doors takes up the main lines of the HK 500 coupé with vertical headlights like the radiator grille. The whole is refined and revisited, bringing of course modernity. The stern design is also very elegant with an obvious formal fluidity.
Tradition requires, the Facel Vega Paris V offers two V8 engines with a comfortable displacement of 6.0. A big block like under the hoods of the Facels of yesteryear, mechanical continuity is therefore ensured.
Technical Specifications
This resurrection project of the legendary French firm is very promising. But some details indicate that everything is not ready for a next entry into production. On the website (which should be remembered is no longer accessible) an interior configurator was taken from Bentley precisely from the Bentley Continental GT. Aboard the Facel Vega Paris V we find an atmosphere close to that of the models of yesteryear, with contemporary technology in addition of course.
