Austin Healey
Tempest
The obviously
Austin Healey 3000 inspired 'Project Tempest' concept car was the creation of
an unsuccessful former bidder for MG Rover, Professor Krish Bhaskar. But
because Bhaskar does not own the rights to the Austin Healey brand he calls the
car Project Tempest.
If the
Tempest concept is realised, it could use MG SV running gear covered by a
lightweight aluminium body.
It is reputed
that all 'Austin Healey' Tempest cars would be electronically limited to
155 mph. With the most powerful models capable of accelerating to 100 mph and
braking to a full stop in less than 12 seconds.
