Exclusive First Look: Contera MD1 Supercar

The Contera MD1 is a completely new car designed and built by David Halford and Michail Papastergiou. It was created out of a passion for Group C race cars of the 1980’s. Both David and Michael looked around and found that for some reason, nobody was making anything based on this iconic shape so they decided to build it themselves.

The starting point for the design was the wraparound screen that is so distinctive to the Group C cars. From there, they decided that the best and only seating position for the driver was going to be in the centre so that the driver has the maximum field of vision possible but doesn’t lose that sports car feel. The great thing about having a central driving position is that they were then able to add two passenger seats (in a similar way to the McLaren F1).
