Aquila in the Middle East Historically it is seldom that one can announce the availability of a brand new car built specifically for the Middle East. Soaring into the Saudi public consciousness and onto the wish lists of classic sports car enthusiasts in region is the Aquila (Latin for Desert Falcon) range of heritage sports cars. Aquila Sports Cars of UK is offering Saudi dealerships the opportunity to carry the exciting new model in their showrooms at an introductory commission of 11% - a rate that will remain in place for the duration of any arrangement between us. The Aquila line up has a strong and worthy heritage. Now painstakingly redesigned to the specifications sought by Saudi motorists and being built by craftsmen initially in the UK and ultimately in the Middle East, the Aquila is styled as a heritage classic but with ultra modern chassis and other mechanicals, including the clean and powerful Ford Zetec, DOHC, 8-valve , EFI engine with catalytic converter drivetrain. Mille Miglia model with aero screen styling. The Aquila may be stylistically based on the classic era of the 1930s Alfa Romeo road and racing cars with a hint of Morgan but they are thoroughly up to date with 21st century mechanicals and are naturally supplied in LHD.
