UAE’s first supercar set to hit the roads in 2015

Not much known about this car only a few computer rendering.
But is seems to be a KTM X-Bow killer. The car is specifically built for track driving.
The car will have a weight of 750 kg and will be powered by a 400 HP V8 engine, all while weighing 1,653 pounds.

Judging by its looks, the Dubai Roadster looks every bit as aggressive as its name indicates. Not much has been released as far as details are concerned, but the Roadster does have all the physical attributes to be treated as a bonafide track racer.

The aggressive front bumper is pretty evident and the swooping, vented hood gives the physical look of a car that’s born for racing. LED-infused headlights are also part of the treatment, while out back, a large rear wing and roll bars can be clearly seen.

The overall shape screams of a track car that’s aerodynamically suited to be be quick and agile, two attributes that cars like the Roadster should be.

Car will be presented at the Dubai Motor Show in november 2015.


UPDATE JULY, 11th

An Emirati racing car driver has helped to design the country’s first supercar, which will go into production in a matter of months.

Rashid Al Shaali, who has competed at several events at Yas Marina Circuit, was one of three people who came up with the idea of the Dubai Roadster three years ago.

Now the car is ready to enter production, with the first units expected to go on sale at the Dubai Motorshow next year. There will probably be only 25 cars built initially,

The back looks a bit like the Porsche 918.
 
At least they're not claiming 2,500bhp and a top speed of 280mph+ like so many previous Middle Eastern projects that never got off the ground.

And the ones who do get off the ground end up against the Wall, literally...
