The Tushek Renovatio T500 Puts Slovenia on the Automotive Map
Michael Hines — August 22, 2012 — Autos
Hopefully more Americans will be able to locate Slovenia on a map after seeing the Tushek Renovatio T500. The Renovatio T500 is the first supercar to ever come out of the Central European country. The car is the brainchild of former race car driver Aljosa Tushek.
The Tushek Renovatio T500 has a sleek carbon fiber body highlighted by its scissor doors. The convertible supercar is powered by an Audi-sourced V8 engine capable of producing up to 450hp. That’s a relatively small engine in supercar terms, but the Renovatio T500’s 2,500 pound curb weight helps to get the most out of it. Tushek’s supercar can do 0 to 62 in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 197 mph. Only 30 Tushek Renovatio T500s will be built, with each one priced at $370,000.
