Joss Supercar Nearing Debut AUSTRALIA’S HOME-GROWN Joss Supercar is just a little over two months away from making its debut, with potential buyers and investors alike lining up at Joss’s door. Ten solid orders have been locked in thus far, and Joss has been reorganised into an unlisted private company to fully exploit growing interest from investors. The Joss Supercar has been five years in the making, but now its creator Matt Thomas should soon see his project come to fruition and give Australia its first real competitor to the likes of the Ferrari Enzo and Lamborghini Murcielago. “This is now not just about producing an Australian first and world-class supercar, but ensuring the business is resourced adequately to meet pent-up production demand,” Mr Thomas said. A V8 of unannounced origin will generate over 373kW and propel the Joss to 100km/h in a lightning-fast 2.98 seconds. Top speed is claimed to be over 340km/h. Joss expects to build 25 of the supercars at its Victorian facility in its first year, and anticipates all of these will be sold in very short order. The asking price is estimated to be around $600,000, but considering the rarity - and sheer speed - of the Joss Supercar, it should make an enticing buy for super-wealthy car buffs. Joss also plans on taking its Supercar racing, with the eventual goal being a place on the grid at Le Mans.

Quite a stylish bit of gear and proudly Australian !
The downside being most decent Aussie projects cost an arm and a leg. Still, i look forward to Top Gear Et al testing a well performing Aussie product for a change |
