Heres something we can all aim to get from our money making efforts! Its a bit far off for me yet though!
Al Melling’s hand-built Hellcat car - costing £100,000 - has 1175hp delivered by a 6-litre V10 engine with the block and heads are milled from solid billets of aluminium rather than cast. The car is front-engined with rear-wheel-drive using a carbon fibre monocoque body and chassis, independent wishbone suspension and a six speed trans-axle, inspired by the Chevrolet Corvette. Its weight is 1,200kg, with 60 mph coming up in an F1-rivalling 2.8 seconds, and a Vmax of 200mph-plus. Melling plans a GT1 version to challenge Aston Martins, Vipers and Corvettes at Le Mans in 2007. The cabin is race-inspired with deep bucket seats, harnesses and carbon trim. Only 50 a year will be produced by Melling Consultancy Design’s factory in Rochdale, Lanacashire, and sold through one national dealer. if you liked this post, buy me a beer
