Engine

The sports car will feature a 6.5 liter naturally aspirated V12 engine created by Hartley Engines, a New Zealand-based company founded by a current WEC driver and former Formula 1 driver Brendon Hartley's younger brother Nelson Hartley. The engine is said to have a redline of up to 11,000 rpm with 1070HP and 634 lb-ft of torque at 7000rpm.

Performance

It has a claimed top speed above 250mph and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in less than 3 seconds. If the figures were true, this would be the fastest naturally-aspirated production vehicle without hybrid technology after McLaren F1.
