[PTA SC] Hulme Supercar Concept @ 1175 Kg

quote:

The concept of the supercar is a mid-engine design with a high-tech powertrain and chassis that gives the driver the feeling of driving a Formula One car on the road. The car features a modified BMW M5 engine joined to a specially designed transaxle, wrapped in a carbon fibre body.

Hulme Supercars Limited plans to produce a number of cars for certification purposes, with production to start in 2007.

They will then produce 25 cars a year. A minimum of 150 will be built.

A UK list price of £310 000 has been set.

The idea for a Kiwi-made supercar first came to Auckland entrepreneur Jock Freemantle, who approached Mr Parker in 2002 to co-ordinate the design team.

Tony Parker has been passionate about cars since he was a boy. For many years he indulged his enthusiasm by sketching car designs during weekends. It was only in 2003 when he met Jock Freemantle, fellow car enthusiast and serial entrepreneur, that he began to see how far his hobby might go. Together Jock and Tony not only improved the design, they also developed the dream of recapturing New Zealand`s leading position in car design that was lost overseas in the late 70s.

Jock formed Hulme Supercars Ltd with financial backing from a global network of angel investors. Now, two years on, Tony`s design has been transformed from paper plans to a revolutionary supercar constructed of the finest lightweight materials. The design captures the essence of Formula One for ordinary road users • albeit wealthy ones.
