Good god...... amazing

Ever since Henry Ford invented the assembly line and ushered in the era of mass production, exclusivity has become an increasingly exclusive commodity. A citizen of the United Arab Emirates beat the system by commissioning a car joint developed by Mercedes and Lotec called the C 100.

It features a lightweight carbon fiber body, twin-turbo 5.6L V8 producing a prodigious 1,000 horsepower, Hewkand 5-speed racing tranny and 4 Ram AP IMSA racing brakes. Performance figures are impressive with a run to 60 mph taking 3.2 seconds, 125 mph comes in 8.08 seconds and its top speed is 268 mph.

Sorry if this is a re-post but its performance figures are gob smacking for 1995

The Lotec was a great little car and actually managed to look pretty, which wass rare considering the ingredients and contemporaries of the period!

Is the text quoted from a USA source?

If it were anywhere else it would have mentioned that Mercedes were actually there from the start of the automobile industry, not sure that Ford needed a mention there except to make the Yanks feel proud .

How short would you have to be to fit in it! Looks way cool though

 

[Uberwagon]

Does this use the engine I really hope it uses?

The M117?

Dave!

 

[Defiant]

Well, it's probably best we bring up Henry's (stolen and adapted) production line rather than many of his other traits.

Nice-looking car. Historical perspectives can be good.

 

[Uberwagon]

It does indeed use the same engine as is sat on my turnover stand

Exactly the same bore and stroke, minimal boost required for 850hp and I now have a compression ratio to work with.

Have emailed them and you never know they may sell me a pair of cams and tell me what turbos they used

If so andy-cyp, you have done me a great service today!

Dave!

I know you are joking - but just in case anyone takes your comment seriously...........Its a squished photo. Look at the wheels - they SHOULD be round.

Copy the image to a photo program and stretch the image until the wheels ARE round. You will then see it in its correct perspective.

Does this look better ? ? ? ..........

[Howard]

I want one of the dinky ones !!

It's like a Smart car with a warp core !!

 

[Shude]

What program did you use to do that?

Like all my graphics work it's done by hand in PSP7.

 

[BaldGuy]

One talented janitor!!

 

[wallingd]

It's got a few shades of the Ford GT90 has it not?

 

[Uberwagon]

Andy, I owe you a beer or ten!

I pick up the spare engine for that car in 2.5 weeks.
