Captured: Spania GTA Spano Drives Goodwood

Features I By John Beltz Snyder I July 15, 2013
The Spanish supercar called the Spania GTA Spano took to the hill climb race at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. We’ve seen static shots of the car before, in black, so to see the car in motion out on the course in bright yellow paint is a welcome sight.

Also, we couldn’t help but notice the camera mounted to the top of the vehicle. We’re hoping that means we’ll be able to enjoy a video of the GTA Spano tackling the hill at Goodwood very soon.
