Kepler to release 800hp hybrid supercar at Dubai Motor Show

By Matt Brogan |

US based Kepler Motors is planning an 800hp (596kW) hybrid supercar to be dubbed ‘Motion’.

Utilising a 550hp (410kW) Ford 3.5-litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 – driving the rear wheels – the Motion will also feature a 250hp (186kW) electric motor – driving the front wheels – for some serious all-wheel drive hybrid mumbo.

The unusual arrangement is said to propel the Motion from rest to 100km/h in under 2.5 seconds! Top speed is rated at “in excess of 200mph (322km/h)”.

An ultra-lightweight and highly aerodynamic vehicle, the monocoque Motion is largely comprised of carbon fiber and composite materials.

Braking comes compliments of high-performance carbon ceramic rotors on all four wheels. Motion also features active aerodynamic technology, active suspension, launch control and programmable track assistant system.

The Motion hybrid supercar will be on show at the 2009 Dubai International Motor Show later this week with a limited run of 50 models to be made available from sale in 2011. Pricing has not yet advised.

      How do you come to that conclusion when its mostly made up of carbon fibre?

    … that’s awesome!

    so if it runs out of fuel it becomes fwd and when it runs out of electricity it becomes rwd…

    The rear looks like a massive Lambo rip off.

    Whoa, my god, goodbye other supercars who thought they were fast. How can a small business design a car like this while other much much wealthier companies cannot?
