"I don't have a lot of cars,He said David Coulthard, which was rapidly supplemented: "There are all my race cars in my garage," so Scots, who further issued that in impatient anticipation - No worries, it's not about growing up in a family.
Two are expected to arrive in his garage soon special car. "I ordered an Aston Martin Valkyrie and a Mercedes Project One. In both cases, I am on a waiting list." Valkyrieand Project One are super sports cars that have more than more under the hood 1.000 hp of system power. They both have hybrid technology, Mercedes even drive unit of Formula 1. There are only a few hundred copies in the production plan.
And why he wants to Coulthard to have these two cars? Scots he explained this at the event Goodwood Road & Racing"I want to have Valkyrie because of Adrian Newey, with whom I worked at Williams, McLaren and Red Bullu. The only reason I can afford this car is because I raced with its race cars and also won a few races.And why Mercedes? "Because I'm a Mercedes man. Valkyrie, however, will be something special, especially in terms of aerodynamics, as it was created from the pen of Adrian. On the other hand, Project One is a demonstration of German engineering art. Somehow, Mercedes managed to get the Formula 1 engine into a road car. Because usually a Formula 1 engine does not work in a road car."
By the way road cars: With most of the vehicles he has in his garage, Coulthard cannot drive in normal road traffic. “In the garage is my first car from 1982 and my last from 1988, in addition there is also a Formula Ford, Formula 3, Formula 3000, five or six Formula 1 race cars, a DTM race car and many trophies and the like."It simply came to our notice then exhibition models, presumably without engines. Because A 49-year-old Scot says: “These many race cars are not driveable. They only serve the exhibition."
And with what you can Coulthard then drive? Z Mercedes Pagoda, which he thought of upon receiving his first salary in Formulas 1, in addition, it has more Mercedes G-Wagon 1984. "Short wheelbase, two doors, but redesigned and without a roof. So if it rains, you find some shelter and put the car to dry."
