Although it’s nothing more than a concept, the idea is certainly one worth taking a look at. The vehicle will be powered by a hybrid drive-train that pairs a KERS system with a combustion engine to produce 1,200 horsepower. While this sounds pretty awesome, the manner in which it’s handled might ruffle more than a few feathers. The Art Center College of Design graduate has ditched the iconic V12 in favour of a 900 horsepower twin-turbo V8 setup (paired with the 300 horsepower KERS system).
The vehicle’s proposed weight of 1,763 pounds means the 2-seater would sprint to 62 mph in just 2.2 seconds with a top speed of 310 miles per hour. While many of us would have liked to see this thing powered by a naturally aspirated V12 engine, it’s worth noting that the legendary Ferrari F40 was also powered by the same twin-turbocharged V8 power plant. Not to mention this thing is dropping dead gorgeous.
Awesomeness!
