by Proteus. Each car they made took 2000 hours of labor to
replicate. Unique additions have been made to the standard Proteus
C-Type, such as upgraded brakes using carbon ceramic pads, and the
iconic Le Mans racing light behind the grille. Furthermore, an
upgraded radiator ensures better performance and longer endurance.
