Images of the new VLF F1 Roadster were published on
Twitter ahead of the model’s debut at the Shanghai Motor Show. Henrik Fisker’s
latest creation is basically the open-top version of the F1 Force, which means
it’s still based on a Dodge Viper chassis and powertrain.
The power will come by an
8.4-litre V10 with 745 hp, allowing the F1 Roadster to complete the 0-96
km/h procedure in under three seconds, while topping out at 337 km/h.
Just like its fixed-roof sibling, the F1 Roadster’s
exotic bodywork is made out of carbon fiber. As for further performance specs,
customers will be able to choose between a six-speed manual or a six-speed
automatic transmission.
There isn’t much official information out there yet,
so we’ll probably have to wait for VLF Automotive to shed some light on more
details, including their production plans.
