Kepler Motion brings 800bhp using dual-engine hybrid magic

Since we're already on the topic of fairy dust, how about a new all-wheel drive supercar that can purportedly thrust you from nought to sixty in 2.5 seconds? New startup Kepler Motors is about to unveil its first vehicle and its ambition is nothing short of staggering. Employing a 550bhp Ford Ecoboost petrol engine to drive the rear wheels and a 250bhp electric motor for the front pair, this machine also comes with a carbon fiber chassis and carbon ceramic brakes to really make the theoretical numbers look ridiculous. Of course, it's still only a concept for the Dubai International Motor Show, but production plans are already set for 2011. You'll just have to make sure to be among the 50 richest people interested in owning one, because that'll be the entire production run.

Dayummmmmmm!

[mrspiteri Posted Dec 15th 2009 6:20AM]

Ferrari Enzo? Never heard of it.

[c0urtn3y Posted Dec 15th 2009 6:24AM]

damn that thing is sexy its just a pity only the rich pompous pigs are going to get to add it to their car collections rather than the layman who would most likely use it in his daily commute

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 15th 2009 9:22AM]

@c0urtn3y what kind of layman would make their daily commute with a car that does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds?

[DrTrent Posted Dec 15th 2009 9:37AM]

@(Unverified) The layman who needs to get to work real fast

[HardToBelieve Posted Dec 15th 2009 10:01AM]

@c0urtn3y

And exactly why do you label all rich people as pompous pigs?

[Celanor Posted Dec 15th 2009 8:09PM]

@c0urtn3y The layman who's late for work

[2d546a2d Posted Dec 15th 2009 6:58AM]

I've no time to research this, but it looks a lot like a Pagani Zonda

[MyzterKinetic Posted Dec 15th 2009 7:07AM]

for that price throw on a kinetic alternator 70%+ efficiency and re-charge this thang

[jeff696969 Posted Dec 15th 2009 7:52AM]

Mine! mine! mine!!!
My want!

It looks like a Zonda, sorta...

[fisher Posted Dec 15th 2009 7:59AM]

Looks like a crossbreed of a Enzo and a Zonda

[ah2049 Posted Dec 15th 2009 8:18AM]

@fisher
I'll second that.

[napdaddy Posted Dec 15th 2009 8:42AM]

@fisher
I agree. It also has lots of styling cues of the Honda HSC (NSX concept that was scrapped)

[Packgrog Posted Dec 15th 2009 9:39AM]

Can't wait to see THIS on Top Gear!

[chadow Posted Dec 15th 2009 11:47AM]

wow....that's a thing of beauty

[kdmc1 Posted Dec 15th 2009 3:52PM]

I am unimpressed by this and all these other so called hybrids these car companies still sucking the teet of middle east oil countries, We want cars that are not dependent on some forun countries economic revenue. thats the change I hope for screw these mini motor battery powered cars.
You want to see revolution in america have the government sponsor a new mode of transportation with all the support they threw into making the atom bomb.

Signed unimpressed techie!

@kdmc1

I am very impressed with those acceleration numbers, and by extension, the admittedly magnificent beast that produced them. Mostly because I've always wanted to drive something grossly overpowered... something that would test my cardiac fitness just through shear G-forces. But hey, maybe that's just me.

[paul34 Posted Dec 27th 2009 12:59PM]

@kdmc1 The market will develop alternative tech, just like it's been doing. Did the first Insights and Priuses come from government grants? The initial drive towards fuel efficiency during the oil crisis a few years back? What drove those changes? Right - the market.
