StarLight Garage presents the Spanish Hurtan Grand Albaycín from 2009. A Spanish car with a sporty look and lines like the British Morgan cars.
Not really the power of a Bull but for sure a wild cat on the road, at least the car has a retro body look.
Although the car is not a classic car it has the potential to be one.
Enjoy another Christmas suggestion from SLG!
With this retro-convertible on the market, it seems that the Spanish carmaker may have a strong competitor in the form of Granada’s Hurtan and the company’s handsome Grand Albaycin.
The 1950s inspired Grand Albaycin builds on Hurtan's previous work with the older Albaycin model and made its debut at the 2009 Top Marques Monaco.
They offered two different Renault engines (yes, the powertrain is from Renault), the Grand Albaycin promises to be lightweight but still crafted from fine materials. On offer will be a 1.6L petrol engine, available either as a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.
The range topping engine will be a 2.0L unit, churning out around 180 hp (135kW) and only available in five-speed manual guise. Top speed for the 2.0L model is around 210 km/h (130 mph) - not quite as potent as Morgan models may be, but still enough to have fun with.
From the outside, the intentions of the Grand Albaycin are fairly obvious - to provide classic looks with a modern, reliable running gear underneath the skin.
For this, a Renault chassis underscores the car but from the materials used throughout the cabin you would be hard pressed to find anything like them in a Renault parts bin.
Each car is customizable, and the handcrafting process takes around 5-6 months to finish after an order is made.
A wooden-steering wheel provides the focus for the interior, while a hardwood dashboard encompasses ivory-rimmed clocks. Leather upholstery and classic old-style gauges complete the look of the car, and despite its modern underpinnings it manages to capture the grandeur of a bygone era rather well.
Currently, the Hurtan factory produces limited series of two models – Albaycín and Grand Albaycín, each with a different and own coachwork. These retro and stylish automobiles have found their way to customers from all over the world, to people with a specific tastes and just as unique as Hurtan cars are. It is now already the second generation of Hurtado family that keeps on developing and consolidating the manufacturing processes so that they can guarantee its customers not only flawless and perfectly crafted cars, but also the uniqueness, style and pleasure that these vehicles represent.
To their owners, Hurtan cars are like precious jewels upon four wheels. Not only they illustrate and highlight their specific lifestyle and personality, but also and above all else they bring them delight, just as to anyone in their vicinity.
