In the late 2000s, the Falen emerged as a mysterious contender in the niche market of Scottish supercars, aiming to join the ranks of mononymous celebrities like Beyoncé or Prince. In 2008, the Dowdeswell & Hardie design agency promised a V10-powered track-only colossus—well before titans such as the McLaren Senna GTR or Red Bull RB17 were conceived.
Promises were made for a limited production of just four units, yet reality tells a different story. It became evident that no physical Falen ever existed when Top Gear's Ollie Marriage reached out for updates. The response? A humorous indication that the project might be more of a bedroom ambition than a tangible enterprise: “The Falen? Aye, hang on a wee minute, he’s up in his bedroom at the moment..."
One can hope the creators found their way into fruitful design careers and are no longer summoned by their mothers for dinner. Scotland, with its breathtaking landscapes and classic driving roads, deserves a supercar of its own to conquer them.
In summary, the Falen remains a phantom dream in the realm of Scottish automotive legends, never advancing beyond the drawing board. Yet, the allure of such a vehicle still captivates the imagination, hinting at a future where Scotland achieves supercar fame.
 | Honestly, this feels like just another example of failed aspirations in the auto industry. We might never see this happen. |
 | It's a shame that such an ambitious project never materialized. Promises mean little without execution. |
