Forgotten supercars

[LeonOfTheDead]

An honourable mention for the B Engineering Edonis - http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum...ng-edonis.html

And for the Covini C6W - http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum...ovini-c6w.html

Two monumentally bonkers cars that never really saw the light of day (although the Edonis did kind of become the EB110).

as said, the Edonis is a stripped down EB110SS but with two bigger turbos instead of four and rwd instead of awd. they produced some units of the car, and even used them to test the Michelin tires you now find on the Veyron.
AFAIK they wouls like to unveil a new car in the near future. I had planned a factory visit, but never found the factory and no one in the small city was able to help me :P
They are still taking care of the service of the EB110
While the Bugatti's old factory has just been purchased this summer by a local industrial group for about 8.2 M €.

That still lives. Recently a convertible version of the MG has been presented.

AFAIK that is still a plan and the pic a photochop.

Cool article. What's the first car called? There was no description.

The Nissan would have been a nice car if it were to be properly made. It would have slotted nicely above the 300ZX and far below the R390 GT1 Road Car.

Imagine giving the NSX a run for its money if it had been fitted with a V8? *Shudders*

did they actually ever made the R390 road car in any number?
IIRC it was just a one-off for homologation purpose.
in this case, the '96 red car was then converted to the '97 specs or are those two different cars?

Well no, I don't think they made more than one. But I wish they didn't do that.

I remeber something like three units. I will ask, the day I will visit them...someday...

AFAIK the car exists, but is a prototype to work on.
Interesting that it's not done by current MG, as owned by Chinese, but by Pricewaterhouse-Cooper's auditor, who bought the rights for MG XPower.
