Caparo, also known as Caparo Vehicle Technologies (CVT), is a British car manufacturer that appears in Forza Motorsport 6.
Synopsis[]
Caparo Vehicle Technologies was originally founded as Freestream Cars Ltd. in 2004 by Graham Halstead and Ben Scott-Geddes, two ex-McLaren engineers who worked on the McLaren F1.[1] Freestream was acquired by conglomerate Caparo plc in 2006 and renamed Caparo Vehicle Technologies.
Their first car was the Caparo T1, intended to be a relatively affordable road racing car. Caparo announced the production of a new car known as the T1 Evolution, but nothing came of it. Caparo plc went into administration in 2015, with Caparo Vehicle Technologies following suit shortly after; the company was subsequently dissolved in early 2019 and no longer exists.[2]
