Hulme supercar to see production in 2008

The Hulme supercar by New Zealand firm Super Cars LTD will go into production in 2008, according to gizmag. Jock Fremantle told the publication that the Hulme — which was first previewed over a year ago — would be built in a limited production run of 20 to 30 units. The car will have a 550 horsepower BMW V8 from the previous-generation M5 and will weigh around 2600 pounds.

Visually, the car is inspired by an F1 racer. It’s name is a tribute to Denny Hulme — one of New Zealand’s greatest race car drivers. It will seat two and initially be offered in the U.K. and German markets.
