Highlights

    Mexico has never been associated with exotic high-performance cars. In fact, up until very recently, the only 2 sports cars to come out of the country included the Mastretta MXT and Vuhl 05 both of which were sporty to say the least, but neither possessed the technology or the pizzazz to make people jump out of their seats.

    However that seems to have changed now. At the recently concluded technology exhibition held in Santa Fe called Expo Bancomer, the Inferno Exotic Car, designed with the help of Mexican design group LTM Hot Spot, was finally put on display for the world to see. The project's chief designer, Antonio Ferrarioli, has previously worked as a component designer for many iconic Lamborghini supercars like the Aventador, Veneno and Reventon. The Inferno's shell was created by using specially formulated 'metal foam' made out of a zinc-aluminium-silver alloy. The material is said to be stretchable by a factor of 100 which should prevent the car's body structure from crumpling upon impact, rendering it virtually indestructible.

    In terms of design, the car looks like it was driven straight out of a Transformers film. The entire body is comprehensively covered with a mix of bold, flowing, and sharp design lines that makes the Inferno look extremely aggressive. The double-stacked vertical tail-lamps, rear wing, and exhaust system comprised of 5 tail pipes, help accentuate the hypercar's tear-drop shaped body's already futuristic look.

    Despite the company not having sent out a press release, the details of the Inferno Exotic Car have been published on the car's Facebook page. The Inferno will be fitted with a whopping 1400bhp, bi-turbo V8 engine that churns out 908Nm of torque. These figures will translate to the Inferno reaching 100Km/h from standstill in less than 3 seconds and will max-out at around the 395Km/h mark. No other details with regards to the car's powertrain have been revealed. The car will be produced in Italy and is expected to go on sale sometime next year.
