The XCS 427, a carefully designed and built visual replica of the iconic 1960's sports car, is the brainchild of two engineers Peter Walker and Gary Saunders, who have worked together for over twenty years on various successful projects.
XCS Designs comprises a dedicated and forward-thinking team of design, development and production engineers who have worked together for well over 30 years and been responsible for bringing a great number of well-known and highly acclaimed products to the marketplace.
The XCS 427 is the team's first own-brand product and is a technologically-advanced, 630 bhp, full-spaceframe evolution of probably the most charismatic and sought-after roadsters of all time.
Notably, they are also responsible for developing the patented Camber Compensation and Anti-Roll system, CC&AR which is an innovative update on the double-wishbone supsension set-up and is incorporated into the XCS 427. They also now offer a completely different model to the 427, the Dieci, their own very individual interpretation of the Seven-style sports car.
Their factory is located in Saffron Walden, Essex.
