Super Sports 100: Ultimate & numbered
The SS100 Ultimate is one of 19 numbered examples. It’s built around a 997cc twin whose engine blocks are CNC-machined from solid aluminium in Toulouse, using expertise developed for the Aston Martin AMB 001 Pro. A silver stripe runs down each side of the tank.

Brough’s First Genius, Numbered
George Brough built his machines on a single conviction: only the best was acceptable. The modern SS100 carries that standard forward. It keeps the classic form of the original Super Sports, and each one is handcrafted to order for its owner in Brough Superior’s French workshop.
The Ultimate goes further. Its engine blocks are cut from solid aluminium on the 5-axis machining centre at Brough Superior’s Toulouse headquarters, drawing on the experience of machining engine cases for the Aston Martin AMB 001 Pro. The 997cc twin keeps its architecture and displacement and is lighter and stronger for it. Only 19 will be made, a number that recalls the marque’s founding year. Each is numbered and identified by a silver stripe set beneath the varnish along the sides of the tank.
