New Zealand based Hulme Supercars are gearing up for the debut of their CanAm supercar that will provide a “Formula-1 like driving experience.” The company is named after New Zealand’s only F1 champion, Denny Hulme. Unveiled at the end of May this year, the supercar has a carbon composite tub and bodywork, with race-oriented chassis, suspension and braking. Use of lightweight materials in construction will keep the car’s weight under 1000kg.
Power for the car comes from a 7-l Chevrolet V8 that generates 600bhp and 600Nm torque mated to a six-speed gearbox. Top speed for the car will range between 300kmph to 320 kmph. CanAm is scheduled to go into limited production next year, with a price tag in the region of US$700,000. Once the CanAm reaches the road, the company has plans for the introduction of a coupe and a spyder version as well.
