Kiwi manufacturer unveils New Zealand's answer to Caparo T1

New Zealand’s only supercar manufacturer revealed its rival for the Caparo T1, the Hulme CanAm, at the New Zealand A1GP.

The 600bhp hulme CanAm supercar is powered by a 7.0-litre V8 from the Corvette Z06 and is targeting a 0-62mph time of less than three seconds. Top speed is claimed to be 198mph.

Designed and built by 68-year-old Jock Freemantle, the Hulme CanAm has been in development for six years at a reported cost of more than £1.7m.

It is named after New Zealand’s 1967 F1 World Champion Denny Hulme and is expected to go on sale in Europe in 2010.

The Hulme CanAm will be priced at around £200,000, the same price as the Caparo T1.
