Now, it seems that the performance drink is about to receive a new ingredient, as Keating, a small UK automotive producer announced that it will introduce a new hypercar. The company plans to unveil the ZKR model, a true beast (you’ll see why) at the Top Marques Monaco 2011 live supercar show, which will be held in April next year.
“Keating’s target was to design and build world beating supercars; supercars that would break the mould by delivering scintillating performance yet being easy to own with long service intervals. The goal was perfection… The benchmarks…. the world’s top supercars manufactured in Italy, Germany and the UK.The only outcome contemplated was to succeed,” a company statement reads.
Now, about that adjective... Keating will offer the ZKR a power rating of between 600 and 2,200 hp (these are approximate figures), with the most powerful versions combining twin-turbocharging with supercharging.
The Keating ZKR will use a chassis with a low center of gravity that comes with innovative solutions, such as dual low-mounted fuel tanks.
“A stylish Italianate supercar with flowing lines, the design owes much to contemporary thinking but with the excesses of Mediterranean automotive design nicely tempered by English reserve. All supercars are British built specifically to customer order and no matter what a customer's personal preferences may be, they can be met,” the company brags in a release.
Our say: We're wondering what the Dagger GT thinks about this...
