not sure if this has been posted, did a search and found nothing.

Alan Jones has put his name on it, its been developed on the gold coast, some interesting stats.

what do you think?

Welcome to 1995.

 

[Boffin]

This embarasses me.

The Joss was a much better 'Australia's first supercar'...

 

[Spacegoat]

It just looks like some bad kit car to me.

What happened to the Joss Supercar?

 

[Momoniu]

according to their website the joss supercar is undergoing development process and is slated to be released early 2011.

that was the last bit of news to come out about it in may 2009

 

[Sniffs]

it's a Testarossa with a Koala behind the wheel

 

[Feral Pigeon]

that's a fake Ferrari.

 

[BigYoSpeck]

Australia making a super car? That's would be as wrong as a angry Scots man making fine cuisine.

They should stick to what they do best which is making American muscle cars

 

[sumbrownkid]

Looks they tried to copy the Countach...and failed...

 

[eight6er]

It looks like a cheap replica kit car of a Lamborgini Diablo crossed with a countach, with all the extras from his local car accessory shop stuck on.

The first guy who purchases this is drunk.

Any bets?

 

[BigYoSpeck]

The first guy who purchases this is drunk.

Well they'll be Australian so that's a given

Welcome to 1995.

[RTSolvalou]

lol it's a Lamb Diablo cross-bred with a Ferrari Testarossa, yay. Someone needed to lower their tax bracket (slip a large sum to the 'design team')

The front lights are wanna-be Zonda

 

[Gun Kitten]

The front lights are wanna-be Zonda

And the rear lights stolen from a DC2 Integra

And the rear lights stolen from a DC2 Integra

I'm sure they had to purchase them legally.

No, I mean 1995. It looks THAT dated.

 

[RTSolvalou]

ROFL at the integra lights. If that wasn't bad enough, imagine being on a 2 lane road and you stop at the lights... next to an integra, with a bunch of cars behind you both.... AWKWARD! Your car that looked slightly cool to everyone a minute ago now looks cheap as cheeseburgers.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

No, I mean 1995. It looks THAT dated.

Agreed.

In fact, this thing does exactly nothing that wasn't possible in 1995 either... Aside from that fancy 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

650hp LS-based V8... Hmm, can't exactly say you couldn't build a supercharged LT1 or Ford 4.6 DOHC to that same power level reliably in 95... Same for the suspension tech, the bodywork and weight figure, etc etc. 207mph? Pshfsh. 650hp.

Oh and it could very well look exactly the same... That generation of Integra was already on the market.

 

[Lucas]

Headlights look like those of a Hommell Berlinette.

Pretty ugly, to be honest.

 

[Trustf1re]

I thought the Giocattolo was our first supercar. Beast.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Australia's first supercar but the, what, 28,000th attempt?

 

[Cano]

I thought the Giocattolo was our first supercar. Beast.

That looks way more intrigung than the turd in the first post. Info?

 

[mafia_boy]

That particular one pictured is the infamous "JUDGE" which had twin turbos fitted putting out 1000hp and was involved in a high speed wreck that killed the driver, Todd Wilkes. He was a pioneer of the Sydney race and show scene.

..at 2150mm is slightly wider than a Lamborghini Murcielago...

Slightly narrower than a bus is more like it...
