Man is that thing long!

Is that a hood bulge I detect? Supercharged northstar correct?

 

Nice wheels for a test vehicle. I have a feeling that their price estimate of $60k is a bit low and their horsepower guesstimate is even lower.

 

Supercharged LSA motor.

 

Wheels look too much like an AMG. The older 2006 mule car wheels were better.

Unfortunately everything Edmunds says in that story is wrong.
Heh, but then it just wouldn't be Edmunds without loads of false info!

 

The wheels on this prototype are non-production.

 

Nice work! Can't wait to see how this thing performs.

 

I'm betting S/C'd LSx..... ala blue devil corvette

 

Where are the grammer ****'s when you need them?

 

Edmunds mentions the LS7 and after watching the video (actually after listening to the video) the is no appaerant blower whine from the car. It might be that the LSA engine is still under development and in order to properly test the chasis, brakes, etc they may be using a powerplant with similar horspower, which may be an LS7. I think this seems likely for testing purposes only.

 

Mmm...I don't think that's very likely at all. They'd have to do all of the testing all over again once the production motor was in. To accurately tune a chassis or work on the brake setup you need the exact motor you plan to use for production. They can't just assume everything will be fine with the car if it was setup with a similar motor.

 

Agreed, it will be a real pavement pounder.
