I really like this car..has a great 80's supercar vibe about it
the 1200 HP doesn't hurt either





Thanks Serious wheels

I think it has a early mid 90's make everything smooth vibe about it.

even though the rear shape and taillights remind my of a porsche 928.

Great find with those pictures! I actually have a 1:18 scale diecast of this exact car. Once I saw it announced, I had to have one for the collection. I'll have to post some pics of the model. Its really close to the real car.

Looks good on the whole. It's a little tooooo round and smooth in some places, but i suppose it still is consistent with the overall design elements. Its not abd looking at all

The Lotec Sirius has been in development since 1992 - that explains the "90's look". It was originally planned to have a (turbocharged) Porsche engine. The current engine as far as I know is a turbocharged version of Mercedes-Benz's SL65 AMG V-12.
Power output in "normal street configuration" is rated around 850hp @ 6,000RPM, and 738lb/ft torque @ 3,800RPM. Claimed performance figures in this state of tune are: 0-100km/h - 3.8 sec., 0-200km/h - 7.8 sec., and top speed around 242MPH. The other states of tune are for Bugatti killing purposes - 1,000hp and 988lb/ft @ 1.0 bar. 1,200hp and 988lb/ft @ 1.2 bar of boost.
