The Tushek Renovatio T500 will make its UK debut at next month's Salon Prive.

For those of you who are unaware of Tushek -- and we're guessing that's most of you -- it's a small Slovenian company which claims to produce "race cars flexible enough to be used both on track and the road."

The Renovatio T500 is Tushek's first creation and is fitted with the 4.2-litre 444bhp V8 engine from the Audi RS4. 0-62mph takes 3.7 seconds and flat out the T500 will do 193mph.

The €300,000 (£234,524) supercar is made to order and is built with advanced race-specification componentry. The T500 is said to offer "a pure, direct, sensual driving experience and user-friendly performance and handling".

Eastern Europe's car industry seems to be booming. The Romanian car manufacturer Dacia is preparing to enter the UK market and only last month we told you about the Croatian Rimac Concept_One, which will also be debuting at Salon Privé.

Salon Privé runs from 5th to 7th September at London's Syon Park.
