The new 2013 Lucra LC470 revealed

Back in early 2010 for the first time we heard of Lucra LC470, a sports car launched by the British soap maker Lucra Cars. Like many other UK companies, this company aims to provide sports classic British design with current technology at fairly affordable prices. The LC470 Lucra is little known, but since its launch a couple of years and have successfully made numerous units for UK and USA mainly.

Since it was released has used a 5.7 V8 engine 400 hp General Motors origin, a very large engine for a car that weighs only 895 kg. Now they have decided to give a twist to the model, and you have had a facelift whose main novelty is the introduction of the 6.2 V8 engine of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, which delivered 630 hp this time. The weight is still below the 900 kg, so the performance figures are truly stratospheric.

If the previous version and accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h in just over three seconds, it is not surprising that the new 630 hp variant accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds, a figure that is at the level of atrocities like the Bugatti Veyron or extreme vehicles like the Ariel Atom V8. The manual transmission which incorporates the car is aimed at favoring the acceleration, so that the maximum speed only reaches 290 km / h. For the format that has the car run at that speed must be a distressing experience.

Cars profiting not only focused on fitting a new engine in the car, but has also made minor mechanical and cosmetic changes to give a slightly cooler air to Lucra LC470. So, now features a new exhaust sound more appealing, and isolates the cabin have been strengthened to prevent the passage of excessive heat inside the engine compartment. On aesthetics, notes the introduction of LED daytime running lights, which is both modern and anachronistic.

New combinations are also available for the body paint and new wheel designs that still retain the retro style that shows the car. In the cabin, highlighted the introduction of a new steering wheel and a slightly redesigned center console. For the moment there are no prices to be announced this car, which became one of the better powers / weight ratio has, with an incredible 700 hp / tone.
