2010 Lucra LC470 “The LC470 delivers a figure-eight time quicker than the Ferrari F430 or Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.”

-Motor Trend

 

“Chassis and steering responses are superb, making the car intuitively easy to place in any curve.”

-Car & Driver

 

“Owning one will help remind you of why you go to work in the first place.”

-Sports Car International

 

Following up on the impressive debut of the LC470, the design team re-examined every part of the car to refine and improve the design wherever possible. Over 50 years of racecar building experience, coupled with the latest computer-aided design technology, went into the LC470. The Lucra LC470 boasts incredible performance and drivability in a street-legal lightweight sports car. Performance is aided by the powder-coated steel tube used in chassis construction, which contributes to the great power-to-weight ratio and helps the car to a nine-second quarter mile at 149 mph. Okay, a nine-second car isn't for everyone, but the base model 375hp LC470 (the most modest of our performers) delivers a 3.4 second 0–60 and a 11.6-second quarter mile at 129 mph.

 

Carbon-fiber body, aluminum suspension, 1,971 pound weight, and tons of horsepower don't mean much if the car doesn't hold the road. Weight distribution is ideal at 53 percent rear and 47 percent front, giving the car forgiving handling characteristics and incredible traction. With its low center of gravity, the LC470 digs into turns without the need for anti-roll bars. Aluminum racing seats and four-point harnesses keep you fully secure as the LC470 pulls up to 1.4 g's in corners on street tires. The Tremec TKO600 RR transmission was chosen, and gear ratios carefully selected, to match the vehicle's power and weight. With a 3.07:1 final drive ratio, a fuel injected aluminum V-8 straight stock motor with 375 hp takes you from 0–60 in 3.4 seconds in first gear, and has a top speed more than 180mph.

 

Integral to the performance of the LC470 is perfection in steering and suspension geometry. All bump steer and scrub were eliminated from the LC470 for a stable platform with no undesirable characteristics at high speeds. Easily adjustable front and rear suspension on the LC470 allow for precise tuning of caster, camber, and toe.

 

The best of everything is used throughout the car; from the Smiths gauges down to the F/911 aircraft grade bolts. Rated to a strength of 180,000 psi, the hardened alloy steel is extremely strong, providing longer wear life for both the bolts and the parts they anchor. High pressure aircraft-grade A/N stainless steel lines are used for all fuel, cooling, and brake systems. Elegant custom-fabricated, ceramic-coated, tuned headers and side pipes are standard on the LC470. The ceramic coating provides cooler operating temperatures, and the recess in the body keeps the exhaust out of the way. Finding a performance car that’s usable for taller drivers is rare. The Lucra LC470 has a respectable amount of space for driver and passenger. Driver position is fully reconfigurable to optimize balance and driving comfort regardless of the driver's height. To provide a custom fit, both the driver's seat and the Tilton 3-pedal assembly (with front/rear brake control) are adjustable, to bring the controls to the driver. Available space is another unique aspect of the LC470. The cockpit accommodates taller drivers (6 foot 5 inches or taller), and the trunk easily holds two sets of golf clubs and luggage.

That's a cool car (a cross between a AC Cobra 427 and a Jaguar E cabriolet i think)

I think too it's cheap comparing to a Lambo or a Fezza, and it would be fun to drive.

Hmm interesting. Had this been released 40 years ago it would have been epic.

[Penfold]

Hmmm. It's nice but i'd have to agree with tWm, it's odd creating a brand new car which looks old :confused: if you see what I mean :lol:
