The Epique GT1 is a Canadian-Korean supercar first presented in the 2011 Dubai Motor Show.
The car is the creation of Korean oil mogul Keyser Hur, who is also a car collector, AutoCar reported. The engineering was done in Toronto, Canada, by supplier Multimatic.
De Macross employed the help of Multimatic to help them incorporate F1 technology into their new car. The aluminum monocoque tub that houses the interior of the car was designed and fabricated by Multimatic and they also helped to connect the front and rear substructures for the suspension and engine. The company was also able to get the car safe enough to pass global safety standards of FMVSS and EEC.
Power comes from a supercharged Ford 5.4-liter V8 breathed upon by Roush. The transaxle comes from Ricardo, and there are front and rear alloy subframes holding the DSSV suspension in place. DSSV also reportedly supplies the Red Bull F1 team and cars.
The suspension system comes directly from F1 and uses a Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve (DSSV) dampers. These can be independently adjusted via an inboard push-rod. By changing the spring damper and rocker motion ratio the vehicle is able to change ride height and increase the effective spring rate.
