Default Natalia SLS 2: 1200bhp, 300mph sedan




Natalia SLS 2: Is He Serious?
Al DiMora claims to be building a 1200-bhp 300-mph...sedan!

Since no one was building a 300-mph $2 million super sedan, Palm Springs' DiMora Motorcar is setting out to do so. Company head Al DiMora (yes, of Sceptre and Clenet fame) says his Natalia SLS 2 will be "the world's most luxurious, expensive and technologically advanced creation."

The engine, which has yet to be built, will be a 14.0-liter overhead-valve V-16 with 1200 bhp and 900 lb.-ft. of torque, the power put to the road via all-wheel drive. Although the image you see here is computer-generated, DiMora says work has begun on the first chassis, which will have 4-wheel steering and be made of aluminum and carbon composites. Due to those materials, the weight of that chassis (less suspension) is claimed to be between 315-350 lb., despite the car being quite large, with a 163.3-in. wheelbase, an overall length of 244 in. and 24-in. wheels.

DiMora claims the Natalia will "feature dozens of innovations never before seen in any production automobile." Of course, all of these claims live on nothing more than a computer screen at this point. Whether DiMora can make his dream become a reality — something that many have failed at before — will be something to watch. DiMora says they have pre-sold 17 cars, with the official unveiling of the Natalia SLS 2 scheduled for early 2009.
^Ugly and useless (like the Veyron )!
