Hulme CanAm New Competitor of Lamborghini
Powered by a hand-built 7 liter Chevrolet V8, the Hulme CanAm makes 600 horsepower and 440 lb/ft of torque. Considering the car weighs less than 1,000 kg (about 2,200 lbs) you can bet the car is fast.

Hulme will build only 20 examples of the CanAm and they are going on a first come, first serve basis. To get on the order list, prospective customers will have to submit a £10,000 fully refundable deposit (that's around $14,400 at current exchange rates). Production of the CanAm won't start until the fall of 2011 and Hulme will hold a private showing and test drive sometime before the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Hulme will put the deposits in a trust account that will be returned for any prospective customers that decide to cancel. For those that decide to take delivery, the $700,000+ purchase price includes two business class tickets to Auckland, New Zealand for final fitting of the car and some local driving time. Once the customer is satisfied, the car will get shipped to its final destination.
