Canada Makes Supercars?

After browsing around the other day looking for luxury-super cars that are for sale within Canada and who owns them, I stumbled upon something very interesting and exciting for Canada and Quebec specifically. What I found was a ridiculously mean super car called the Felino CB7 that has been in the works for the past 3 years with Antoine Bessette (a former race car driver, now CEO) backing up the entire project.

The project of the Felino CB7 is one of the first super cars actually designed and developed in Canada, by Canadians. The car is said to be track inspired but legal for street. Currently there are still some tweaks that need to be made to the car and work to be done to make the car street legal, but it has revealed an interesting future for the Canadian car. This model concept is spreading around the nation like wild fire and was even in attendance stealing the spotlight at the 2014 Montreal Auto Show.

If you're interested in the details of this car, its powered by a GM-sourced V8 engine that is currently being tested with 2 differently staged turbo systems. The car price is yet to be known, there is quite a bit of speculation that it may be under $100,000 simply because Antoine Bessette's objective was to form a super car for under $100,000. I personally find it hard to believe this is the price it will retail for in Canada. What is known about this car is that is can do a 0 to 60mph in under 3 seconds and has a max speed of 190mph, thats 305km/h! The Felino CB7's V8 alone pushes out more than 500 horsepower to the rear wheels and the optional turbo kits being tested will raise this to upwards of 600 horsepower.

My thoughts on this car are:

• It looks insane (like a futuristic Bat-mobile)
• If it is sold under or for $100,000 it could be the most affordable super car
• Its great that something like this is coming out of Canada!
• Its made way too fast for too cheap, no one needs this much power on the road, and at a price like that, many Canadian can obtain Lamborghini power at a low cost

Overall its a really cool car, if you want to see more, check out this video.
