The Wildcat Concept

Bulgarian design group, I2B Concept considers its Wildcat study a prospective middle-range supercar. That means it’s derived to face off against the Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari F430 in the $150,000-$200,000 range. To their mind — and engineering calculations — the low-slung, radically designed exotic will weigh less than 2,646 lbs., about as much as a Ford Focus, and be powered by a 460 hp, turbocharged V8. The group is planning to have a full-scale model of the Wildcat ready by March 2007 for wind tunnel testing, with the first prototype scheduled to arrive by the end of 2008. Investors invited.
