There's no shortage of small startups promising to build exotic supercars these days. Just a couple of months ago we showed you Poland's first venture into a segment dominated by names like Lamborghini and Porsche (before you viciously attack our comment area, we're not saying it will actually compete with Lambo…), the Arrinera.
Now, Carscoop reader Juha pointed us to a German startup, which to be frank, we have never heard before. The company is called Rotary Supercars Germany and on its website, it says it plans to create "a symbiosis of the ultimate hypercar and active environmental care".
The firm's upcoming hypercar is called the RSC Predator GT. Development said to have started in 2009 with the first prototype to be revealed in 2012, possibly at the Top Marques show in Monaco next April, and the production model, by the end of the year – or so the company claims on its website.
If you we're already skeptical about a project no one has ever seen or heard about before, then the performance specifications aren't going to ease any of your concerns…
On the website there are two models of the Predator GT: a prototype with a 1,200HP "4-rotor Rotary engine" and a "revised specification" version featuring an "8-rotary Rotary Engine" with a displacement of 5.2-liters delivering –hold on to something- 2,800-horsepower and…2,580 lb-ft (3,498Nm) off peak torque with a redline of 9,000rpm and 12,000rpm (both figures are listed).
Jules Verne…errr…we mean the website states that the 2,800HP Predator GT will be able to complete the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in a blink of an eye at…0.9 seconds. Still not impressed? Then how about a "0-600km/h (373mph)" sprint time of 7.0 seconds?
And you thought pigs couldn't fly…
H/T to Juha!
