Duesenberg Torpedo® Coupe 2007 ... repost?

[byronleehk]

"Duesenberg Torpedo® Coupe
A new Duesenberg luxury automobile to bring the United States back into the top segment of the World automotive marketplace - the Duesenberg Torpedo® Coupe. It is now being designed by famed California automobile designer Jeff Teague, of Teague Design Inc. ([email protected]), with a planned market introduction in January, 2007. The Duesenberg Torpedo® Coupe will offer the ultimate luxury motoring for four passengers, along with a unique blend of automotive innovation and the finest comfort features.

The Torpedo® Coupe will be driven by a revolutionary new power plant, the CEM engine now in final development by E.P. Industries ([email protected]), an air-cooled and self lubricating, forced-air inducted (supercharged), 12 cylinder, double ended, ported, multi-fueled, four-stroke engine with a calculated 70 MPG and 300 horsepower from an economical 100 pound package measuring 18 inches in diameter and 24 inches in length, which will provide an unparalleled power-to-weight ratio. Planned use of the new Bose® LEM electromagnetic suspension system will provide a much smoother ride than any luxury sedan, combined with less roll and pitch than any sports car (www.bose.com).

Be sure to check back for updates on the progress on America's newest luxury automobile, updates will be posted frequently.

Currently in development with planned market introduction January 2007."

[Matra et Alpine]

the perspective on the front grille just looks all wrong !!

If this was in the chops forum it would get toasted

[:Exige:]

Yuck .. looks like something a Batman villian would drive.

[ScionDriver]

I like it, but is this really going to come out? Who bought the rights to the name? EP Industries? Thats crazy.

[Coventrysucks]

That thing is so damn fugly. I hope the hand of the person who penned that falls off.

+ 300bhp?

That's not enough to be playing in the super GT league.

You need 450bhp at the moment, and that will probably be 500 - 550 by the time that monstrosity is launched.

Yeah .. for something of that weight 300bhp is waaay to low. I cant think of any GT of that sorta size with less than 500bhp at the moment. Power to weight must be immense on that machine

[Lagonda]

70 mpg lol.

[:Exige:]

70 mpg lol.

ROFL! Yes .. because if you could afford something like this then fuel is gonna be your main worry

I don't believe it. 300 hp, 70 mgp, a V12 and blown. That just doesn't add up. Might look better with out the bottom side scoop, and all one color.

[Juggs]

theres no way it'll get 70 mpg! and why air cooled!?

[BMW325]

2007...yeah right!

either this thing's release is gonna be pushed back again and again like the Veyron or its gonna be another american project that never really gets off the ground like that Cunningham a few years back

[Quiggs]

This will:
A) never come out
B) cost an obscene amount of money
C) be redesigned, and not meet any of the preproduction claims
D) be forgotten about by next week

I smell Veyron part 2.
