When news of the Weber supercar first broke, we initially had some doubts that the Swiss company would follow through on its promise to deliver its own in-house designed concept in time for last month’s Top Marques Monaco Auto Show.
But the auto parts supplier has pulled through and we now have images of its carbon-fiber bodied concept direct from Monaco.
Underneath its odd shape sits a full aluminum chassis, which allows the car to weigh in at just 1,100kg. Reaching the claimed 400+km/h top speed shouldn’t be a problem thanks to its lithe mass as well as its high-output, mid-mounted V8 engine. Displacing 7.0L, the supercharged and intercooled motor develops up to 900hp and a whopping 1,050Nm of torque. The designers opted for a sequential gearbox with semiautomatic and full automatic modes, and have placed four separate fuel tanks at each corner for better weight distribution.
