-inspired Lyonheart K to 250 cars after high demand. It is also adding the option for buyers to order the car as a convertible. 

The Lyonheart K was first shown in February 2012. It uses a supercharged 5.0-liter Cosworth V8 with 575ps and 700Nm of torque. It uses an aluminum chassis and suspension. The company claims that it will hit 100km/h in less than four seconds, and it has an electronically limited top speed of 300km/h. The interior is made from a high-end mix of leather, wood veneers, polished stainless steel, brushed aluminum and chrome.

“Every part of the Lyonheart K is developed, engineered and hand-built in England. The build quality will match and even surpass the best you can find on the luxury car market. With partners like Envisage and Cosworth, we are truly confident to be able to put an extraordinary product in the hands of true connoisseurs," said founder Robert Palm. 

Lyonheart expects to sell 175 cars in the Europe, 50 in China and 25 in the Middle East. Lyonheart has not announced official prices for the Lyonheart K yet. It says that it will begin at less than €400,000 before taxes. Deliveries start in 2014.
