Default Adelaide Supercar To Be Unveiled At Melbourne Motor Show

Not sure if this has been brought up but in Friday's Car's Guide section in the herald sun had an article about a supercar to be unveiled at the Melbourne Motor Show. Built in Adelaide it will be powered by supercharged 6.8 litre Ford V10 making 500kw and carbon fibre panels. Most importantley the platform will be from the BA Falcon!! With also falcon dash i think. They already have the money to build it and have a contract to sell the cars in the UK so it isn't a pipedream. The drawing supplied looks like the Ferrari 575m racing car.

Can't wait for this.
