New British Supercar

MB Roadcars, located in England, has set out to create a supercar with unrivalled on-road performance and a breathtaking driving experience. The EOS (?Exigence of Speed?) supercar has been created by a team of ex-F1 designers and incorporates a three-seater layout with central driving position. Its advanced aerodynamic features such as a two-element front wing and side winglets ensure high downforce and low drag. It combines the latest in aerospace and motor sport technologies, and the high strength monocoque chassis and body panels use aerospace-grade composite materials, resulting in a curb weight of just 1000 kg without compromise to structural rigidity. The Mader Racing 90? V8 engine and six-speed gearbox are mid-mounted longitudinally for optimum weight distribution, and its 500 bhp give EOS a class-beating power to weight ratio of 0.5bhp per kg.

There are several key features of the EOS:

Central Seating - EOS features a 3-seater layout, with the driver positioned at the centreline for maximum control and the most engaging and rewarding driving experience. EOS is currently the only modern supercar to utilise this layout, following in the footsteps of the legendary McLaren F1.

Innovative Aerodynamics - EOS incorporates a unique Formula 1-style double-element front wing, which generates a significant amount of front downforce. Its state-of-the art aerodynamics are complemented by an integrated rear wing design, a wide-angle rear diffuser and side winglets (X-wings) used on a road car for the first time. All these  

elements are the key to providing well-balanced and stable characteristics at high speed.

Composite Lightweight Chassi Monocoque - MBR uses the latest composite aerospace materials to produce an extremely light and strong survival cell to protect the driver and passengers, as well as providing a rigid platform for highperformance driving. The company?s expertise in racing car chassis design has been fully utilised to achieve new stiffness and weight standards for road vehicles.

Fine-Tuned Suspension Dynamics - EOS? suspension layout is inspired by modern racing cars. Double wishbones of unequal length with inboard springs and dampers are used both at the front and rear of the car. This setup was optimised to provide maximum stability and control under acceleration, braking and cornering.

Technical Partnerships

With its strong motorsport technology background and state-of-the-art design technology, MB Roadcars has attracted several high-profile technical partners to support the development of the EOS supercar. The company has established successful working relationships with Alcon (brake systems), Primary Designs (exhaust systems), Toyo (tyre supplier), Dymag (wheel manufacturer), Aerotrim (interior design), Jetblades (manufacturing) and Panther Composites (composite manufacturing).

Significantly, MBR has also signed an agreement with Mader Racing for the supply of a highperformance engine specifically developed for EOS. Mader Racing will manufacture a lightweight all-alloy 500 bhp 90? V8 engine based on the units powering the new GP2 racing series, tuned for road use.

Wow thats ugly.  :o

Wow thats ugly.  :o

It's not that bad, but it doesn't look like anything that would be produced now.  Looks like a Lister Storm.  I'd think MB would conflict with Mercedes Benz too.

I smell a lawsuit.

Doesn't look all that ugly to me.  Not beautiful, but no uglier than a Ferrari Enzo.

Thats a ok looking car...front end looks like a cross between an enzo and a Pagani Zonda though.

I actually think the Enzo is gourgeous.

Theyre not hideous at all!  They sort of look like a Pagani Zonda.

Nothing especially noteworthy there, I would take a Carrera GT over this thing any day. Also, the car in the pictures isn't actually a real car, it is nothing more than a model so it is quite likely this thing will never even be put into production.

Well then again, I would take a CGT over ANY other thing any day.  This definitely isnt a bad showing, and it will appeal to people who like to own very odd and exclusive cars.

Looks like my moms 30 year old vaccum.
