An Orlando-based auto company that goes by the name
Exotic Rides has completed the development of a 626-horsepower supercar called
the W70. That’s the good news. The bad news is that we still don’t know if the
car is actually headed for production. That’s normally a recipe that would lead
us to be a little cynical about the status of the W70, but we’re going to give
it the benefit of the doubt because we actually want to see Exotic Rides make a
name for itself in the industry.
Here’s what we know about the W70. Its design was
penned by an Australian automotive designer named David Williams. The
renderings of the supercar makes us think that Williams used the Ferrari Enzo
as the inspiration behind his creation. It’s a little more subdued than the
Enzo, but a lot of the elements, including the shape of the headlights and the
scissor doors are present in the final version of the supercar.
With the build of the car now complete, the next
step for Exotic Rides is to actually build a business plan for it. There’s no
timetable for that yet, but given the enormous business challenges that the
company still faces, I think it would be premature to assume that the W70 will
be terrorizing the roads of America in the near future.
