SuperCar Dagger GT
Dagger GT’s design is based on the Corvette Cheetah concept and it vows to break every major record, from being the fastest on a straight line to being the quickest around the Nurburgring.
Equipped with Tom’s multi-fuel (petrol/methanol/hydrogen/ethanol), aluminum 572 Twin Turbo engine that churns out 2000hp and 2,710Nm torque mated to a TranStar/Mendeola 6-speed transmission.
Equally stunning are the performance figures as the real monster achieves 0-60 mph in 1.5 seconds and quarter mile in less than 6.7 seconds. The car has its outer body made from carbon fiber, whereas high-strength 4130 Chromoly Steel chassis forms the inner structure.
Dagger GT’s will be made available in three different models: “a hard-core racer, a street-legal sport version and a soft-riding luxurious GT-X that combines both speed and comfort”.
Dagger GT is a limited edition as only five were made in 2011 and two of them have already been booked. The first 10 units will be delivered this year and each car is priced at a minimum of US$450,000.
