Brough Superior
S.S.100 Salt Racer

Born to carve through the boundless white salt plains — a pure embodiment of speed itself.
── Created in homage to the daring spirits who challenged the Bonneville Salt Flats, this machine inherits the noble lineage of the classic S.S.100, yet every element has been reimagined in pursuit of absolute velocity.

Designed to confront the wind head-on, the Salt Racer stands as a speed icon refined to its utmost limit. Its arena: the sacred grounds of Bonneville, Utah — a land where machines and their makers test the very edges of possibility. In this realm where even air becomes an adversary beyond 300 km/h, Brough Superior forged a machine stripped of all excess, sculpting a form where aerodynamics and lightweight engineering merge into a singular, disciplined beauty.

The architecture of the Salt Racer embodies the pinnacle of contemporary craftsmanship. A lightweight monocoque frame shaped from titanium and aluminum. A bodyline honed like a blade to cleave the wind. And Brough Superior’s signature Fior-type suspension, its geometry optimized for the unforgiving expanse of Bonneville’s salt crust. Every component serves one purpose — to unleash purity in motion, where form and function converge in quiet, uncompromising harmony.

Speed as an aesthetic principle. Motion as philosophy. The Salt Racer is a rare vessel granted only to those who understand that velocity is not merely a measurement — but a destiny whispered through the ages by those who etched their names upon the white horizon.
── A contemporary heir to a legacy of glory and innovation, crafted for those who turn speed into poetry.
