context_page_description: David Brown Automotive is a British manufacturer of limited edition automobiles in Silverstone, England, belonging to British businessman David Brown. The company began in Coventry in 2013 and moved to a new 18,000 sq ft dedicated build facility and headquarters at Silverstone Park in April 2017.
  The company announced Speedback GT, its first model, in March 2014 in London. The vehicle's public debut was at the Top Marques show in Monaco on 17 April 2014. Despite sharing a similar background in engineering, and the same name as previous owner of Aston Martin, there is no family connection between the two companies.
  Mini Remastered, a modern reinterpretation of a classic Mini, is the company's second model, launched in Shoreditch, London on 6 April 2017.
  The company showcased Speedback GT at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2017, and again in 2018 alongside two examples of Mini Remastered and the newly launched Speedback Silverstone Edition.
context_section_description: Launched on 6 March 2018 at the Geneva International Motor Show, the Speedback Silverstone Edition is the third special edition model made by David Brown behind both the Mini Remastered Café Racers Edition and Monte Carlo Edition.
  Limited to 10 examples globally, the Speedback Silverstone Edition is a performance-focused version of the company's first model, the Speedback GT, and celebrates the company's first anniversary of its move to the new Silverstone build facility and headquarters in April 2017.
  Taking design inspiration from classic 1960s racing grand tourers and British jet aircraft of the era, the Speedback Silverstone Edition uses the same traditional coachbuilding techniques to craft its bespoke, streamlined hand-rolled aluminium bodywork as Speedback GT, with enhanced performance characteristics from the 5.0-litre Jaguar AJ-V8 engine, developing 601 bhp (448 kW; 609 PS) and 565 lb⋅ft (766 N⋅m) of torque. Updated rear suspension adds further dynamic handling to the model, over the existing set-up from Speedback GT.
  Each of the 10 Speedback Silverstone Edition examples will be built to the same specification, with just left-hand and right-hand drive and 2-seater or 2+2 configuration differences.
  A bespoke 'Fly by Night' paint finish, applied over 8 weeks is offered on Speedback Silverstone Edition, with a subtle, fading 'Black Night' painted stripe across the length of the body, while the interior cockpit is trimmed in an exclusive 'Antique' tan leather, with brogueing and fluting to the seats, evocative of the 1960s cars and aircraft that the car is inspired by. Premium Kvadrat Remix fabrics and 'Scorched Ebony Macassar' wood veneers are also specified in the interior.
