I’m sure you haven’t heard the words exotic and monster truck together until now. Neither have I, but this is the description of the Youabian Puma that is now for sale at James Edition for $895,000.
When it was released at the Los Angeles Auto Show back in 2013, the Puma captured everyone’s attention, and not in a good way. After seeing the reactions, the car’s creator was so offended that he threatened numerous media publications with legal suits.
Contrary to all appearances, the car is street legal and has a fully registered title with the Department of Motor Vehicles in California, USA, that can be transferred and registered in any other country.
The Puma has an aluminum and steel chassis and a body made of aluminum and fiberglass composites. The unique vehicle is 93 inches wide, 242 inches long, 72 inches high and weighs 6,800 lbs.
Under the hood lies a 7.0-liter V8 LS7 engine from General Motors, developing 505 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. The car has four-wheel-drive, a six-speed automatic transmission, and it can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. If this is not enough for you, the seller can also provide a 650 horsepower supercharged engine for additional cost, as James Edition reports.
The interior has a lot of features, including 8-way power adjustable driver and passenger seats with memory, premium leather, front bucket seats, rear seats folding with pass-through center armrest, remote power door locks, power windows, cruise control, power steering, SiriusXM radio, navigation, voice recognition, and a lot of luxury options present day cars have.
Before rushing to the bank, I have to tell you that the same James Edition sells a 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO for $833,178, so I’ll let you decide what to do with your money. If you ask me, I would choose the Prancing Horse every single time. As many other people, probably.
