Scrapyard Supercar is a British reality television series that premiered on U&Dave on August 4, 2019. It ended on September 22, 2019. It was created by Matthew Knight. It stars Ralph Hosier and Shane Lynch.
Each episode, Pro driver Shane Lynch sets two teams of mechanics a task of epic proportions... to build a one-off vehicle from scrapyard junk that can out-perform his top-of-the range supercar.

From acceleration to braking, handling to grip, the series gets under the hood of supercar engineering.
