Although it’s designed and manufactured in the UK, The WLR from AGM Sports Cars is always calling its drivers back to the French countryside. Why is that you say? It must be the call of the wild or maybe it’s the legendary city that the WLR was first named after. This is where French Grand Prix racing first got its start back in 1906 and the city that the Le Mans Roadster is named after.
WLR stands for ‘Whitehead Le Mans Roadster’ and after you fit this stylish sports car with a Corvette GM LS-1 V8 or a BMW M3 engine, you might just find yourself crossing the finish line at Le Mans yourself. You may even be popping the cork on that celebratory bottle of champagne and being showered in kisses by those beautiful French models. This car has got style and performance with a space frame chassis, double wishbone suspension and a body design that sets it apart. It drives to win and it looks like a million bucks.
For some unsuspecting observers, a first glance may tempt you to think that the car has a weight bias at one end. It's just an illusion. With a weight distribution of 51/49 front/rear the car is perfectly designed with plenty of nice curves and a beautiful shape. The cockpit edges carry up into the roll bar and then right into the rear wings where they finally blend back into the centre part of the cockpit again. It’s a sight to behold and the car itself is not going to disappoint no matter what the naysayers might contend.
AGM Sports Cars Ltd has been manufacturing these specialist cars for a few years now and they come in both a kit car or fully built. The WLR was actually inspired by a Le Mans prototype which has now gained international recognition by Motorsport, Specialist and Track Day enthusiasts. They steadily refined the chassis with more torsion stiffness so that the car can run more high powered engines. With these changes, it is now taking on supercar status without the enormous price tag to boot. The WLR is also extremely practical with a full screen or soft top option as well as huge storage space to hide the champagne. See you on the French countryside when you're ready to celebrate!
