Rossin-Bertin Vorax Coupe
The
Rossin-Bertin Vorax is set to debut at the São Paulo Auto Show later this
month. It features a carbon fiber body over an aluminum chassis, cradling the
Bavarian ten-pot in two states of trim: naturally aspirated with 570
horsepower, or supercharged with 750. The former is said to be good for a
3.8-second 0-62 mph time and a 205 mph top end. The latter marginally improves
the acceleration time to 3.6 despite its 180-horse boost, but supposedly raises
the top end to 231 mph. Of course, those figures are likely theoretical, as the
vehicle appears to exist only in renderings at the moment.
Bankrolled
by meat industry scion Natolino Bertin, Jr. and realized by former General
Motors designer Fharys Rossin, the Vorax coupe is targeted to hit the market
late 2011 or early 2012. A convertible version is slated to follow a year
later, with overall production targeted at 500-1000 units in all and prices
hovering around US$ 400,000.
