Locus Supercar

I saw this in Modified Luxury and Exotics today and I have to say that this car looks incredible and it's CANADIAN! LOL

http://www.locussupercar.com/en/index.spy




- 8.2L V8 GM engine with 550 hp - 1000 hp Torque: 565 lb
- RWD
- Brakes: AP racing front, 15 inch ventilated disks, aluminum 6 piston-caliper
Rear: 14 inch ventilated disks, aluminum 4 piston-caliper

Weight: 1,250 kg = 2,750 lbs
Tires: Michelin pilot sport
Front: 255/40 zr/18
Rear: 415/30 zr/18 (future availability 400/30zr/18)
Front: 18/9
Rear: 18/13

PRICE
$330,000 Canadian = $300,000 USD

Modified Luxury & Exotics said something like 750hp or something. If that's the case, this thing is going to be REALLY fast. What do you guys think?

impressive numbers and I'm sure it looks cool in person, but it looks like a Lambo Diablo, mid to late 90's camaro and a 430 had a threesome.

HOLY SMOKES at least 550 and 2700 lbs???????? That car will be a destroyer!!!!! But yeah Markski has a point 300k for what amounts to a LS7 is insane UNLESS....... They plan to do what Noble did to the Ford motor and send it to the aerospace engineers, that would be freakin awesome.


And the car looks sweet too, I'm tempted to say I like it better than the CGT.
