A Swiss-built supercar for the world's super-rich has been unveiled in Vienna.
Berne-based Beck Engineering and Composites has presented its Beck LM 800, an ultra-lightweight constructed from aluminium, magnesium, titanium, carbon fibre and composite materials such as Kevlar. It is said to have a structure similar to that of a Formula One car, with a central 'spine' to its monococque shell to support the engine and transmission, chassis and safety cell. Its hydraulic chassis is electronically controlled, and the car features F1-style telemetry equipment and digital instruments.
Power comes from an Audi-sourced 4.2-litre V8, with a unique turbo helping achieve an output of 650bhp: a seven-speed semi-sequential clutchless gearbox with limited-slip differential is also fitted.
The price? A Swiss banker-league CHF750,000 (around £307,630).
