It turns out that Joss didn’t full reveal the car’s body, as you can clearly see from the video below, the JP1 hasn’t been full revealed, as most of the front end and some of the back is camouflaged. The car hasn’t been painted, and there’s a load of strange triangles that play with your eyes. What’s up with that? It looks like this is only a test mule of the supercar from Down Under that was brought over at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show.
The JP1 is powered by a 6.6-liter V8 mill that delivers 507 hp and is mated to an Albins Zeroshift Manual Transmission, which is one of the most important features on this AU$500,000 (EUR 369,000 or $526,000) supercar, helping the car sprint past the 62 mph (100 km/h) mark in under 3 seconds and complete the 0 to 100 mph (161 km/h) sprint in six seconds flat.
A supercar like this is more at home on the track, but according to the specification sheet, it can do the quarter-mile in 11 seconds, reaching 135 mph (217 km/h) in the process.
“We had an amazing reception for our JT1 prototype in Melbourne several years ago, but building a car business is very involved,” said Joss Developments Technical Director, Matt Thomas. “So Joss Developments has spent the last few years working on the business: building investment, working with our technical suppliers, and putting in place the right people so that when we launch JP1 the company will be geared up to deliver a great product to the market.”
Joss will only build 25 of these per year, so the company’s future depends on the JP1 being a hit.
