HTT Locus PLETHORE Preview

Posted 13 Jul 2007 15:36 PM by Joseph


Canadian super car manufacturer Locus is ready to “drop a bomb” on the automotive industry with its new “750 hp” or “1300 hp” powered automobile named the PLETHORE. The 2007 Locus PLETHORE, nicknamed the “Quebec Bomb”, is the first Canadian super car that features an exotic design matched by amazing power.
Designed by Mr. Luc Chartrand, who is an electronic and composite material specialist, the PLETHORE is made completely of the lightweight racing material known as carbon fiber and has a central driving position just like the McLaren F1. Which means the driver puts on the show for its two other passengers which ride behind the driver. I believe that you could charge admission for such an experience.

Mr. Chartrand passionately comments that:

“Not only does it offer incredible visibility from the central driver position, the car also provides room for as many as three people up to 6’6” in height… a first for this class of vehicle.”

With a price tag of $330, 000 CDN, one can easily see the Locus PLETHORE being snatched up by Professional NHL players and the like. Be quick though because there will only be a limit of “400 PLETHORE’s” produced per year with the first orders of the vehicle will be taken by the end of summer 2007.

That car looks pretty mean, I think it'd look more complete if it had a spolier.

Front looks a little funny to me, too....but I'd drive it. Wheels on the small side. I'd go at least one size bigger.

I hope too see a couple being driven around here.

One thing Ontario used to have an exotic car manufacture, forgot the name though. Now Quebec coming out with this plus a couple years ago there was the T-Rex.

The front looks like a very angry F430. With a totally redesigned Diablo body. With the driver in the middle a-la McLAREN.

I just cant wait to know the 0-100 km/h ; 0-160 km/h ; 100-0 and the 0-160-0

I wonder if they got a quebec company to do the audio, seeing there's a company here in Quebec that is as good as; Mark Levinson in the home audio business.
