1300 Canadian horses. We use clydesdales not mustangs.

It weighs 1500 lbs less than a Bugatti and has 300 more hp for $330,000 cdn ($300,000 u.s.).

Driver sits in the center.

At the way the exchange rate is going, our 1300 CDN HP will equal your 1500 US HP by the end of the year, you insensitive clod!

That car is sweet.... and for what it is pretty reasonably priced I would think. I wonder what the availability on those things will be.

Being from France and Quebec are not the same thing, they just speak the same language. Its like saying a car built in Ontario is British.

Looks like the Canadian evolution of the McLaren F1 (not in real looks necessarily but in type of vehicle).
