Among all the countries in the world, New Zealand is the most neutral of them all! Honestly not much down there to bring it up in the news. Until now, as their first ever supercar has become ready to hit the market. We too wonder what made them think we need a supercar, but it is here now, and it’s called the Hulme CanAm. Named after NZ’s racing legend and F1 World Champion, Denny Hulme, this car is limited to only 20 units.

The CanAm which is apparently designed to be a Formula 1 car for the roads, is powered by a Chevrolet LS7 V8 developing 600bhp and 600Nm torque, mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. And because it weighs less than 1,000kg it does 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of over 200 mph.

So your trips in this car will be really fast, and scary! If you remember Caparo had similar experience with their T1 supercar, and that didn’t work. The car was constantly breaking down everywhere it showed up for demo, and when it worked, it had a strange desire to catch fire and burn the driver! It burned two journalists including Jason Plato.

We hope the the Hulme works better than the T1, but we are certainly not thinking of getting one, since it’s priced at £295,000.
