Wellingborough, Northampton, UK – RML Group Ltd, the UK’s leading high-performance automotive engineering specialist, today marks its 40^th year of engineering excellence with the unveiling of four new innovative products.

The first, from the Motorsport division, builds on all of the company’s multi-championship winning experience to create an all-new track day car. Codenamed P40, the ultra-lightweight, super-safe race car uses Formula 1-inspired aerodynamic technology to reach new levels of speed and handling for track-day cars.

The second, produced by RML Group’s Engineering department, is a Le Mans Hypercar-influenced Porsche 911-based project that will extend the car’s speed and handling capabilities well beyond standard, while maintaining full reliability. Known internally at RML as P39, the upgrade package is designed to work across the 911 range and includes a list of options to enhance both engine and aero performance.

Third on the list, from the company’s Power division, is RML’s high-performance VarEVolt battery module. Having proven itself around the Nurburgring, the proprietary battery technology is now being installed as a key component in a number of supercars, including a current Goodwood FoS record holder.

Rounding off the Group’s 40^th anniversary product portfolio, the Bespoke department has drawn heavily on both its storied road and race history with Aston Martin to create a SuperClassic version of the original V8 Vantage. The carbon-bodied car retains all of the original’s muscular design cues but pairs them with 21^st century mechanicals to create one of the world’s finest and most capable grand tourers.

“RML Group has achieved an enormous amount in the previous 40 years, we are still focused squarely on the future as these product launches show,” said third-generation CEO, Michael Mallock. “I am excited to bring all of these new high-performance products to market. They are just the beginning of a long product pipeline for us. I look forward to sharing more details on each soon.”

RML Group was founded in 1984 by Michael Mallock’s father, Ray, a successful single-seater and sportscar racer.  Under his leadership the business specialised in championship-winning motorsport and precision automotive engineering.

Today, RML Group has expanded to meet the diverse needs of the automotive industry, having recently announced the appointment of former Lotus and Bentley senior executive, Paul Dickinson, to lead operations and drive growth.

From short-run manufacturing projects to continuation cars, from innovative mould-breaking racing cars to cutting-edge ultra-performance battery packs, the company has never strayed from its founding principle of Engineering Excellence.
