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. Photos and video after the jump…

well if they r gonna make this car, they better put some more horsepower in it even if it is light, because if engines like chevy’s 900 camaro and vette engine coming, they wont stand a chance, and with the new corvette that is going to weigh sub 2900lbs. with 900hp, they’re gonna kick ass

#10, what are you talking about? This is exactly the kind of thing they should be posting. We’re supposed to be car enthusiasts right? I mean, what more appropriate than a project like this? A bunch of car enthusiasts making a car for enthusiasts.

It looks like an Enzo because the Enzo tries to look like an F1 car. This tries to be an F1 car for the road. I don’t really think there was any copying going on here. Form just follows function.

while I don’t particularly like the car, I liked the video a lot, especially the chief-designer’s way of talking…

I like, I think you are going to see a lot more of the F1 influenced design in supercars. Outside of this the enzo and the caparo t1 are examples of this emerging design direction.

If you panelled in the front wings, it’d look like a Gallardo from the front, especially in that colour
As cars like this go though, I’m more interested in the Capuro T1 – http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/875/ – it’s the first road legal car to break the 1000bhp/tonne barrier…

There are a few reasons I don’t like this car
1. Looks to much like an F1 car. I think the Enzo is just the right mix of F1/street.
2. Hulme? I realise its named after the driver, and I can respect the heritage value, but its still a weird name.
3. I like the rims, but they just dont match the car.
4. The Aussie guy talks way to fast.
