GREAT BRITISH SPORTSCARS INTRODUCE ATR BRAKE UPGRADE FOR THE ZERO

Busy times at Great British Sports Cars and not just on matters Zero-related, either.

They are fortunate to have a class-leading machine shop with plenty of CNC-equipment. This allows them the luxury of producing all manner of their own parts in-house.

Their new ATR (GBS’ own brand) front brake set is a case in point. Although it was released some time ago, it is proving extremely popular with a steady flow of customer built Zero models in for a neat and effective upgrade.
