Default Quebec Bomb

A canadian supercar. Two engines 750hp and 1300hp. It a 8.2 litre GM engine. The weight is said to be 1100kg! Tyres F: 255/40, R: 415/30! :shock:

The seating position is like the McLaren F1 with the driver in the middle. Locus will produce 400 cars a year, with a pricetag of $330 000 (that's canadian $s).

Here are some more info and pics.

IMO the only "supercar" of a small company which came real was and is the koenigsegg. Dozens of "supercars" were presented and discussed, but how many of them have you seen on the road afterwards.

Sorry to say, but this should be old news, since in the text they are looking foreward to the Montreal International Auto Show (MIAS), taking place January 19 to 28, 2007 - or is this a typo?

Looks like that Tommy Kiara ( probably mis spelt) thing from gran turismo?

^haha! Yeah, my dad liked using that car. He thought it was pretty cool. It thought it was rubbish, which it was.

Anyway, this is intriguing from a motoring perspective. I mean, the power of this car is just amazing. However, it looks ugly and will probably never be built for the real world. Oh well.

I think that it would be awful to drive, a shell with a couple of engines would rattle and warp the chassis like a twig and it would be fun for the few hundred miles but you wouldnt want to drive a car like this more then once a week and thats not good.
