Limited edition hyper car
Shayton is a crown project of Provoco’s State of Passion design and development philosophy and the founding statement of Provoco, a brand set to define new perception of beauty, quality and lifestyle in the 21st century.

evolution pushing the edges of development, design and technology, get involved in other areas such as racing and evolve as the pop-cultural and the new status icon of new millennium.
Shayton Equilibrium
Shayton Equilibrium is the name of the first unveiled Shayton model. The name represents the basic cosmic principle everything is based upon, the natural balance of the universe. Shayton Equilibrium is the condition of a system in which competing influences are balanced.
In the words of the creators Shayton Equilibrium represents pure hedonism, perversion on four wheels, on one side an abstract concept to most people and on the other a realization of all childhood fantasies and dreams for the selected few.
It represents the ultimate pleasure, a new
perception of getting from one point to another, where the goal is not as important as the experience. It represents an object of ultimate excitement and a path to rediscovering your inner self... Only by looking at him, he represents sense inside nonsense. To one it represents the return to innocence.
A child of the wind and a falcon
The process of the creation is something that has not been imagined before. It is compared to genetics and the natural process of evolution,
where the challenge lies in joining two in the
combining sense abstract and different matters...
The force of the wind with the falcon... The end
result of is Shayton. A child of the wind and a
falcon...
Bold and provocative vision
The bold statement for what Shayton is aimed to
achieve is simply to garage the competition and let
it stay there....It’s point is to prove that new great
brands can come out of 21st century and that you
only need passion which is the leading factor that
joins unique souls together to create something
not only to sweep with all the competition, but to
beat them on all areas...
Passion of creation
The creation was not by reason but by pure passion
and therefore it’s beauty relies totally on feelings,
connection and implementation with nature and
the biomimetic aerodynamic form is compared to
the one of the natural perfected design for speed
of the falcon - Shayton.
Technical vision
Shayton’s aim is to develop a car that is not just
beautiful and fast, but also technically done.
Every detail is aimed to be done to the maximum
and every part will be the best.
We strive to discover the limits of material
capabilities, finding of new composing materials,
maybe to test the capabilities of new alternative
power engines that could enhance the
performance.
To use to the limits the technologies developed,
and dare to develop new technologies and
materials.
Shayton’s primary idea is not to make the worlds
fastest cat but striving for perfection and technical
excellence using best materials available and
aim for the highest overall performance and
groundbreaking results. We will therefore not be
surprised if some record breaking results in the
end do occur.
New niche and interaction
Another bold statement is that this car is not trying
to be a pure racer. It is not even trying to be a pure
luxury exotic. This car is planned to be both. No
words can prove it, but the look on it can make
you believe it.
From the first moment this car is planned to be a
controversial beast and this is
Shayton’s vision is to offer new niches to the
driver. It is aimed to surpass the expected thrills
of speed, performance, roaring sound and the
engine, or even comfort. The car will feature new
interaction techniques.
The car will offer features like wireless internet to
connect to your online music database and offer
you connectivity everywhere, Saved driver settings
and advanced user modes which will recognize
the driver,..

Name Shayton
The name Shayton originally comes from the
Sioux Indian word for a falcon (Chayton pron.
Shay-ton).
Main brand symbol - falcon
The main brand symbol is represented by a falcon,
one of the fiercest birds of prey.
The falcon represents a respected animal
throughout the world. It represents attacking
power, speed, predation and also nobility in
various world monarchies. Falcon is also the
fastest moving creature on Earth and one of the
smartest birds.
Falcon in symbolism
In indian symbolism the falcon assists in soul
healing, accompanies the soul back to the soul
world, teaches swiftness and aerobatics of life,
controls speed and movement. The Egyptians
also depicted their god Horus, who came to be
partially conflated with Ra, as a falcon.
Myth
The myth of creation comes from the ancient
Egyptian and tells of a world of chaos covered
in mud. An unknown hand places a stick into this
mud and a Falcon comes and perches on it. At
once the land begins to rise out of the sea in the
shape of a pyramid, the earth and the waters begin
to separate and the world is born.
This act of creation was repeated every year in
Egypt when the Nile flooded, inundating the land,
and then receded leaving fertility and life for the
people. The innundation and the reappearance
of the first mounds of earth were celebrated
throughout the times of the Pharaohs and these
celebrations were linked to one of the battles
between Seth and Horus.
Horus took the form of Solar Disc with the wings
of a Falcon and with two Goddesses in the form
of Cobras he routed the armies of Seth. This
symbol of the winged Solar Disk means simply to
“become”.
Creation
First there have been rushing elements of nature
which are still reshaping the Earth, our own habitat.
Elements so powerful humans often consider
them as work of gods, supernatural forces that
should be worshipped.
Imagine essence of these elements united
into a shape. This is the creation of Shayton
Shayton Equilibrium.
Perfect balanced masterpiece of all these
elements captured in a form humans have never
seen before. Shayton is a new god, the god of
speed and performance. Faster than wind, more
powerful than storm and as beautiful as if it was
shaped by supernatural forces themselves.
Philosophy
Essence of pleasure
Shayton Equilibrium represents forces
manifested into form. It puts motion in shape, it is
an essence of super-car in 21st century. Striking
balance between beauty and performance
enables Shayton to step out among respectful
competition.
Well thought overall design and engineering,
combined with use of latest technology and
materials, enable you exhilarating driving
experience whether you drive it on scenic roads by
the Azure coast, by yourself or in a company, gives
you feeling of nobility and prestige when visiting/
seeing Opera in the evening or cause you a rush
of adrenalin when you are up to achieving the best
time on a race track.
Vision
Essence of equilibrium
Shayton is set to unleash a disturbing movement
in the global hyper-cars atmosphere, especially
affecting the competition based in Europe. Without
rich heritage to rely on, Shayton is focused on the
future.
The goal is to become the ultimate limited
production hyper-car manufacturer in the market
using newest technologies and materials to
reach the state of condition in which competing
influences are perfectly balanced: Shayton Equilibrium of
design and engineering.
Lifestyle
Shayton offers a unique new lifestyle and defines
a new perspective of car use, moving around and
traveling.
Imagine your plan for the evening is to visit the
Opera accompanied with your date but you are
in need for rush of adrenalin just before you shall
relax and enjoy the evening. What to do? You have
two options.
Go straight to pick up spot using regular, common
way or you could let the system help you set up more
excited way. If you choose second option the car
mode will go from normal to race. The suspension
will lower the car and make it more firm on the road,
radio will volume down to the minimum, interior
lightning will set to the essentials, engine will be
ready to work with full power, turbochargers will
suck more air, seat will offer you tighter grip and
the safety belt will readjust.
Red lights, red lights, red lights, green lights
goooo...
You arrive at the pick up spot, still shivering from
adrenalin rush. As you wait for your date, you enter
new destination, Opera. The system recognize
destination and setup the car. System softens,
warm dim lightning turns on, radio browses trough
the web to search music accordingly to destination
and engine start working on lower rpms. From
pure race to polite gentleman. Your date arrives,
the night is yours. Relax, enjoy.
Design
Redefining perfection of form and performance
Design of Shayton Equilibrium comes from pure
emotions, from perfect balance of energies and
forces within the lead designer Andrej Stanta. He
says that this is the only way human is being able
to develop such a masterpiece. Without function
Shayton would be just another piece of art to put
into the gallery. Therefore two worlds are to clash
together at one point to make absolute perfection,
equilibrium.
Engineering this car could be chapter of its own.
Complex to the point where man develops new
building techniques and use materials reserved
for space and army industry.
According to Andrej Stanta the most difficult task
is to reach compromises from both sides although
both have goal to make this car pure balanced
perfection. And this is Shayton.
Andrej Stanta says “To put the storm into form you
have to make compromises or u can fail trying.“
Exterior
Shayton Equalibrium’s unmistakable design
unites the DNA of a brutal wind storm, the
elegance of a falcon in flight and pureness of a
natural pearl.
It’s flowing lines aggressively cut by large side
intakes and then beautifully reunited in the back
give Shayton a distinctive muscular and aggressive
yet very elegant and graceful look as well as low
air resistance factor.
Interior
The elegant yet sporty interior in Shayton is
dominated by a driver-focused cockpit architecture
where the driver is in control.
Form follows emotion and function: this combined
design principle is implemented throughout the
car. Sitting inside in the driving seat makes one
thing clear: you are possessing superpowers, you
are in control of a fierce storm, enormous amount
of energy, power and torque.
However, having control over all this brutal force
ask for well thought interior with focus on the
driver/owner. Ergonomics, styling and safety
goes hand in hand inside the cockpit where is
everything set up to ensure driver/owner ultimate
driving experience when Shayton is pushed to its
limits.
Engeneering
Manifestation of a fierce storm. So powerful and
dangerous yet so perfect and stunningly beautiful.
Among other things Shayton Equilibrium will
feature all carbon-titanium chassis, forged
aluminum alloy suspension, carbon-titanium
wheels, state of the art electronics, and emission
standards that will allow Shayton to dominate
roads all over the World.
