StarLight Garage presents one of the "fast and Furious 6" cars, the Lucra LC470. The magical "Veyron Killer" American musclecar. And the Lucra is only 5 percent of the Bugatti’s price.
A tribute to Fast & Furious star, Paul William Walker (1973 - 2013) R.I.P.
The Lucra LC470 looks like an old Jaguar D-Type that's been cross-bred with a Shelby Cobra and then had its DNA baked in a TVR stove.
The structure under that carbon-fiber body is a straightforward tube-frame chassis supported on aluminum suspension links swiped from under a C4 Corvette and coil-over shocks. At least that's what Lucra's Web site says; the car Edmunds.com photographed had specially crafted adjustable front suspension links. The front 17-inch wheels are encased in 275/40R17 Nitto NT01 tires, while the rears wear 315/35R17 Nittos. Of course there are big PBR 13-inch disc brakes behind each of those wheels.
The LC470 weighs just a touch more than 2,000 pounds and actually has a slight rearward weight balance. The engine sits practically in the middle of the 96-inch wheelbase, well behind the front wheels. And when the 505 hp of the LS7 V8 only has a ton to shove around, the result is explosive acceleration. Lucra claims zero to 60 mph takes only 2.5 seconds, with a stupendous 9.4-second trip through the quarter-mile.
Street legal – but barely.
