Tushek & Spigel Supercars GmbH is an Austrian-Slovenian manufacturer of supercars, founded in Slovenia under the name 'Tushek' and based in Graz, Austria, at a former military airport which included a private racetrack that is used for testing.[citation needed] The company was founded by Aljoša Tushek and Jacob Carl Spigel.

Description

Supercar startup Tushek, founded by Slovenian racing driver Aljoša Tushek,[2] started in 2012 when it unveiled the Renovatio T500 at the Top Marques Monaco.[3][4] Dissatisfied with the insufficient speed of his Porsche 911 racing car, he took the Slovak K-1 Attack (sk) assembly kit as the basis for creating his own sports car.[5] In 2011, the Tushek Supercars brand was founded.[6] The first car assembled by the company was called the Renovatio T500. Since then, Tushek relocated from Slovenia to Austria, and rebranded itself Tushek & Spigel. 80% of the Renovatio is completely self-assembled by the Slovenian manufacturer. 30 cars of this model were assembled, and were sold at a price of €300,000.[5]

In 2013, Tushek Supercars announced plans to create a new sports car, the Forego T700.

During the 2014 Top Marques Monaco, Tushek & Spigel presented a new model, the Tushek TS 600.[7] The company also presented a new model, the Tushek TS 900 Apex, during the 2018 Top Marques Monaco.[8]

All cars are assembled by hand to order.[9]
