Yet another new supercar...
 
The Australian company 'Joss' presented their new supercar at the Melbourne Motorshow. It will be powered by a 6,8 L V8 kicking out 500BHP. Not THAT much for todays standards but it weighs only 940kg's!!...it's body is made of carbon fibre and kevlar. Plus it will have a manual :)

0-100km/h in just 3.7secs.

Probably the only pic available so far:

Looks pretty damn good and i reckon it weighs about the same as my mini! But whats that thing sticking out of the roof?!

I love simple shapes and this car sure has a nice line at least from this angle :D

Erez 03-31-2004 12:16 PM

too bad it looks like a bad kit car...
no imagination what so ever, and whats up with the head lights... I can do much better then that... :roll:

I like the shape too, it make me think to the Mclaren or the Jaguar XJR-15.

Caplax40 03-31-2004 12:40 PM

I think it looks a little like an NSX up front. But I'm sure the shape will change a fair amount over the next couple years...just look at the Koenigsegg!

The shape is very clean and simple, although some might argue that it is TOO simple. There are shades of Macca F1 and XJR-15 in it, as well as some NSX.

While the weight claim of 940Kgs sounds a bit too good to be true, a power output of 500 Bhp doesnt sound too bad. However, i think the design isnt really original enough. It still looks good, mind you, and i wish them all the success in the world to make this car happen.

Looks good. But it is just a picture. Let's see how it looks when they produce it and the mirrors have to be aligned differently

BADMIHAI 03-31-2004 01:52 PM

That is VERY light! It is very impressive! Thanks for the link!

chest3r 03-31-2004 01:59 PM

It looks very cool. And 940kg with 500bhp is amazing

Gnome 03-31-2004 05:47 PM

I think the most amazing thing is 940 kg and 6,8 l. A 6,8 litre engine is heavy! The rest of the car must be really light.

I'm a fan of simple, clean, curvy design, too. This might be too much, though. It looks a bit too simple, but as mentioned it might change before release.

PATo355 03-31-2004 06:25 PM

It looks pretty bad , no attitude i think , sure the numbers are impressive , 500hp of a ford engine i guess , in 900kg , that is the hell of a fast car

hemi_fan 03-31-2004 07:45 PM

I think the look is pretty nice, smooth and simple. 500hp is quite impressive indeed!

Tomerville 03-31-2004 08:05 PM

Looks good, but has too many cars hinted in its design. A little Koenigsegg, Mosler M900, and Enzo. Still, an Exclusively Aussie car would be awsome (since Holden is part of GM).

deth 04-01-2004 12:32 AM

not bad..looks like a koenigsegg w/ an ond gt40 hood hole thing...i dunno what is called....in anycase, i think they have to do something about those horrible headlights
