The car is produced by little known firm, Local Motors in Chandler, Arizona and features a 6.2 liter GM-sourced V8 engine producing 430hp at 5,900rpm and 424lb-ft of torque at 4,600rpm. Couple that with a mid-engined layout, no ABS and no traction control, and the overall premise of the car being a stripped down, white-knuckled racer becomes evident.
