Laraki Epitome concept based on Corvette C6

Not an American, a German and not British or Dutch, but a Moroccan carmaker attracted most to him at Pebble Beach last weekend. The relatively unknown Laraki surprised and astonished most of there with the Epitome, an extravagant hypercar with a power output where the Bugatti Veyron gets the blush of shame.

Bugatti went with yet another special edition of the Veyron, the Centenaries Jean-Pierre Wimille, to California to not get to the fabulously rich with a strong penchant for extremely fast and exclusive toys into oblivion. That usually works. What the French brand did not see coming was that it would be a relatively unknown automaker from Morocco. Completely overshadowed the fixed not only in appearance but also when it comes to strength, the Veyron quickly tick off in battle with the Laraki Epitome.

1.31 kg / hp

Only after pressing the button - then the ECU mapping is adjusted and the injection jumps to the second fuel tank with gasoline with an octane rating of 110 - there is another 500 hp at. And from that moment there is only one suggestion: that steering wheel firmly grasp and hold right and hoping for trying to keep two million costing rocket in line. That is still pretty tough because the vehicle weight would be no more than 1,300 kg. A simple calculation shows that the HP / weight ratio of the Epitome thus is 1.31 kilograms per hp. At 431 km / h fast Bugatti Veyron Super Sports is 1.57 kg / hp. On paper, we have therefore to deal with the new record. Lakari Epitome
