Lyons Motor Car is a company founded by a graphic designer and car enthusiast, and based in New York City. Its new supercar is called the "LM2 Streamliner" and a working concept is scheduled to be unveiled at the 2015 New York Auto Show in a week's time. Right now, Lyons has only released a handful of renderings and some initial specs.
The LM2 Streamliner is said to feature aluminum and carbon fiber construction, both for the body and chassis. A claimed power output of 1,700 horsepower will be generated by a twin-turbocharged 8.2-liter V-8 sourced from Nelson Racing Engines, and this engine will be mounted behind the cabin and used to spin all four wheels. The transmission will be a seven-speed sequential unit.
The wild specs don't end there, as Lyons also claims the LM2 Streamliner will be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.2 seconds, reach 100 mph in 4.1 seconds, pass the quarter mile in 8.8 seconds, and go on to hit a top speed of 290 mph. All figures mentioned would make the LM2 Streamliner the fastest car in production - only it's not in production yet and thus none of the claimed figures can be verified.
