JOSS
Developments Limited developed the JP1 which is Australia's first supercar.
The
first test vehicle, known as the JT1, was designed, engineered and subsequently
launched in 2004. It was shown to the public at the Melbourne, Adelaide and
Sydney Motorshows to critical acclaim, and established the company as a serious
supercar operation. The prototype vehicles achieved performance figures in
testing with an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h in 3.0 seconds and a quarter
mile time of 11.7 seconds at 130 miles per hour (210 km/h).
The
JOSS JT1 can be seen in the Xbox 360 video games PGR3 and PGR4 (although at
that point no actual road-going car existed), as well as in Forza Motorsport 3,
Forza Motorsport 4, and Forza Horizon.
Following
customer feedback, additional external investment and other technological
developments, the company embarked upon their mid-engined production version,
internally code-named the JOSS JP1. Production is set for 2013 with 25 produced
each year at a price above US$ 500,000.
