This guy has spent more money on his MK3 Supra than Toyota.

I think I like the idea of this car more than the looks, but it dang sure is evil looking!

720hp twin turbo V12 Tramontana R

Two years ago, we tracked down a small, independent automaker on the floor of the Geneva Motor Show that promised to deliver a segment-busting supercar to those bored with Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Fast-forward to today and the Tramontana Group seems to have made good on its promise with the unveiling of the Tramontana R Edition.

The R is an evolved version of the standard open-wheel two-seater, packing a Mercedes-sourced 5.5-liter V12 available in either naturally aspirated, 550 hp guise or a twin-turbocharged 760 hp version that dolls out an astonishing 811 lb-ft of torque. The Group claims a 0-100 time of 3.6 seconds and a 10.15-second run to 200 mph.

The wheelbase has been shortened by 50mm to improve handling and aerodynamics, and weight is down by 202 pounds to just 2,777 pounds. The R stretches 192 inches from nose to tail, is 82 inches wide and 51 inches tall, and weight distribution is a perfect 50:50 left to right and 42:58 front to rear. Tramontana fitted 20-inch carbon fiber and magnesium wheels at each corner, along with high-performance summer rubber sized 245/40 in front and 335/30 in the rear. 380mm, six-piston Brembos handle stopping duties, while a custom Ohlins suspension allows the R's ride-height to be adjusted between 85 and 135 mm.

The body speaks for itself, as does the exposed carbon fiber interior, which features a chop-top steering wheel, an LCD instrument panel and the controls to the six-speed sequential gearbox. Production will be limited to 12 units per year with a price tag of Ôé¼385,000 ($495,000), but unfortunately, we won't be seeing it in Geneva next month ÔÇô the Tramontana R will make its official debut at the Top Marques Monaco show at the end of March.

Motec...the only engine management id give up dsmlink for its amazing engine management, data acquisition and displays. Too bad its INSANELY expensive.

I think that is still one of the best sounding engines in existence. It's just like a Subaru boxer, you can distinctly tell when there is a nasty Cobra with aftermarket exhaust within a half mile radius.

**Goodspeed** · 03-03-2009, 06:42 PM

Feck.

GT will be GT-TT soon as well. And that picture is like 1/4 of his garage.

Feersty · 03-03-2009, 09:37 PM

I love that blue Terminator above. So pretty.

***Jake*** · 03-03-2009, 10:37 PM

Blue one looks great - the gray one is rather bloated looking. Maybe it's the wheels, I dunno. Mustangs are fun to me even though they get ragged on by a lot of car people.

some more terminator love...

goody, those 2 mk3s are sexy. When are you going to drop loot on yours? I'm guessing after you graduate?

Short term: wheels, suspension, few bits and pieces, done.

Long term: store it for 20 years, turn it into a race kar then run One Lap or Targa Newfoundland or something :lol:

Lock them shits up...

With all the Terminator love going on, here's one from a cruise I went on last fall. The Screaming Yellow 'vert is actually a Saleen converted Terminator...very rare.

The guy with the DSG Terminator on CCW's posts on SVTPerformance all the time. His car has inspired me to buy some polished Classics for mine. Hopefully I'll have them on before summer.

**Mike** · 03-15-2009, 01:56 PM
