The First Swiss Super Sport Car

Another Super car! Do we really need so many of them? If you think so, then read on. Despite the fact that Switzerland is not recognized for its auto industry, Beck Engineering&Composits Gmbh is trying to create a notch for Swiss in the super sports car making industry by unveiling its Beck LM800 this week at the Luxus Motor Show in Vienna. It's powered by a 4.2 liter, 650 hp, turbocharged, MTM V8, attached to a 7-speed semi-sequential gearbox. The most striking feature of the car is its weight - 900 kg with a full tank of gas and an 80 kg driver – achieved with liberal lashings of aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and the latest plastic and composite materials.
