Although the name is known in the competition and high tech environment for the production of composite parts, the British brand Mulholland is instead making its debut in the world of car production, where it 'dares' to compete in the sports segment with a proposal strongly inspired by the traditions of the Made in England coupé.
As for architecture and design, the Legend 480 leaves no doubts about its intention to place itself in a range of brands - such as Morgan and TVR - which remain faithful to past schemes precisely to offer 'classic' driving experiences and for this reason certainly emotional.
Company owner Graham Mulholland himself was part of TVR's corporate structure and in announcing the opening of orders for the Legend 480 called this coupe the "true successor to TVR's recipe for the 21st century".

Mulholland Legend 480, a lot of grit thanks to modern carbon
This berlinetta, with an aggressive and decidedly retro look, corresponds to the scheme of the classic British sports cars: front engine, rear wheel drive, manual gearbox, two-seater only, designed to be light and therefore very performing.
"Having lived part of the history of TVR - said Mulholland - I consider it a privilege to have worked with Peter Wheeler (owner until 2004 ed) on various ambitious projects. It was a brand that excelled in the values that a sports car should possess. , to deliver truly exhilarating driving experiences. Legend 480 as the first model will replicate a proven formula, but using the latest advanced manufacturing know-how and a world-class supply chain to achieve that quality and ownership experience that We aim. This purity - concluded Mulholland - will translate through the use of our technology and our experiences. We can move quickly and be very credible ".
Featuring a carbon fiber chassis developed by Mulholland Composites using the same processes used to produce F1, WRC, WEC and GT cars and parts, the Legend 480 is equipped with a mighty 480hp V8 will be built in the modern Mulholland factory Group in the heart of Derby.
