I was going to mention this. But technically it was only produced in Canada, but its still an American car..

Bombardier, made an attempt at producing an electric car last year...

couple of prototypes were produced but they kept having "unexplainable fires" in the batteries so they scraped it.

sometimes i dont take pics of the cars.. it depends. for the nsx pic i used in last weeks contest i didnt want to just take pics infront of everyone eating so i didnt get alot of good key shots like the wheels and rims and stuff but im ok with the shots i took from across the street.

when you live in the city you either dont have enough pics of the city or you have wwaaaayyy too many pics of the city. I try to take pics of all the nice buildings without cars in front then i try to reproduce shots but with nice cars in the picture. Thats how I always do my car hunting. I have certain routes I walk to and from train stations so I see alot of different parts of town while out car hunting. Its really fun because You can always go car hunting on a small break while working or just running errands all you need is to have the camera handy.

remember.. If you see something unique parked on the street there is a very large chance that youll never see it again so you have to make the best of every moment!

Haha, sorry about those few posts I deleted. For some reason I thought you were making a parody of that weird out-of-context post, and then I parody'ed your post ;) - It was for the humour factor. Once I realized you were actually asking me a legitimate question I noticed how weird that must've sounded ;)

The Locus supercar (I posted above) comes with an 8.2 litre big block Chevy engine. Pretty huge engine for such a lightweight car (no official specs, but the frame and body is all carbon fibre).

I don't know. I didn't take the photo. Probably just coincidence - this car has nothing to do with Nissan.

It is the "Locus" supercar, in development by Luc Chartrand. It's really close to you - Laval, Québec.

Oh! I forgot to mention! It's going to be a 3-seater, McLaren F1-style layout!

For 250 000$ CAN, this car has a competitive price for the performnce it offers. the engine chassis and style look awsome.

i am going to get a mate of mine to come with me, i have the adress and it barelly 20 mins from my house :D

I'll bring my camera in case i get near that car!

Wicked! Good luck on finding any information and snapping some photos. Yeah, very awesome price. Not bad considering the 3-seater layout, full carbon fibre body/chassis, and huge power numbers. Costs exactly the same as a Lamborghini Gallardo.

Maybe if you phone in advance, you'll be able to talk to Luc and get a tour or something. The number is (450) 975-9876.
