Simbol Design Lavazza GTX-R is a Ferrari Enzo Wannabe with a BMW V12

As a small Italian superkarostroitelyu make your product popular? You can spend sleepless nights at the table, constructing something has incredible dynamic performance and astonishing imagination of outstanding design. And you can take the standard pattern of the chassis, engine ready to buy a well known company and copy image with some icons supercars in recent years. This is what the office Simbol Design to create a car Lavazza GTX-R.

Appearance - tune sung perepevka Symphony Pagani Zonda with several quotations from the Ferrari Enzo. It would seem so from whom, and the Italians with a sense of taste should be all right. Simbol - exception: see at least this mosquito-nose front cowl ... Antielegantnye carbon pane navesheny on tubular steel frame, which houses the BMW V12 engine volume 5.4 liters and output of 620 hp Torque to the rear wheels is transmitted through the electro (!) Six-speed gearbox. The solution is quite original: usually such transmissions are used in buses and trucks.

The dynamic characteristics correspond to the general philosophy of Simbol Design: close to the eminent supercars, but still significantly worse. Dispersal to "hundred" in GTX-R is 4.6 seconds, top speed - about 320 km / h. The only trump card, which can have such a machine (other than, say, of extravagance, which may be the most inveterate hankering originals) - the price. But it is just what the Italians do not advertise. A pity: knowing the requested amount, we could decide whether to recommend such crafts as an alternative to body-whale "by Ferrari", intended for installation at a modest sedan mass production.

Let's face it: buying a supercar is hard. They're expensive, they're hard to insure and if you crash one you're bound to see it posted on Carscoop. So what do you do if you crave the supercar looks but can't stomach the supercar hang-ups? You buy an Italian knockoff, that's what.

This here is the Lavazza GTX-R and yes, it does look a lot like a Ferrari Enzo (with a pinch of Pagani) if you squint ... and are drunk ... and are wearing sunglasses ... at night. Ahem.

If you read the Italian version of the site, power comes from a BMW-sourced 5.4-liter V12 producing 489HP that can accelerate the GTX-R from 0 to 100 km / h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.3 seconds. However, the English-language page makes word of the same V12 with 620HP but a 0-100km / h sprint time of 4.6 seconds. Go figure ...

Anyway, the GTX-R also comes with a carbon / Kevlar body, tubular steel frame and a six-speed electro-pneumatic transmission.

Okay, so not quite Enzo beating performance. Still it can be yours for ... nope, they're not saying. Oh, and the electro-pneumatic transmission? I'm reliably informed that it's used on busses. Ah well, c'est la vie.
