First Look: Rossin-Bertin Vorax

Behold Brazil's newest supercar, the Rossin-Bertin Vorax that will make its debut at the Sao Paulo Auto Show later this month.


The Vorax features a carbon fiber body and aluminium chassis and according to its makers, it will weigh in at just 2,866 lbs and be powered by a tuned 5.0-liter V10 from the BMW M5.

In virtual testing, the "entry-level" 570 hp Vorax was good for a 0 to 62 mph time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph. Meanwhile, the 750 hp supercharged variant was good for 3.6 seconds and 231 mph, respectively.

Production of the Vorax coupe will begin at a proposed plant in Blumenau, Brazil in late 2011 or early 2012. A convertible is set to follow twelve months later. Rossin-Bertin expect to sell between 500 and 1,000 Voraxes for around $409,836 each.
