Default A Catalan supercar


This is the prototype of the new supercar which will be build in a town 20 km away from my house. Its name is "Tramontana". Tramontana is a very strong wind from the north which we have here in the north-est of Catalonia ( I talked about it in my post about fire in Girona: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...819&highlight=).
Although it hasn't been built the first unity, the car may appear for the first time in the next Geneve Motorshow. It will cost about 500.000 euros .
It is created by Josep Rubau who used to work as a Volkswagen engineer. He doesn't want to built more than 12 cars per year. According to the entrepreneur there are already twelve orders in the knip and he doesn't accept more by the moment. For traction Rubau want involve V12 of or Mercedes, or BMW...
I don't like its lines very much(it reminds me a buggy), but at least it is a catalan supercar!

I hope it's not a repost!

Kind of a cross between a Super Seven and a Formula 1 car. Interesting.
