Australia Is About To Break Into the Supercar Market in a Big Way

It will run on a W16!

When you think W16 engine, you undoubtedly think Bugatti Veyron. A man by the name of Paul Halstead wants to change that. The 67-year-old IT genius has a new W16, 1,200hp supercar in the works. His design firm HAL plans to use 7.0-liter LS7 V8 mounted together at 45 degrees. The plan is also to have two crankshafts, a six-speed sequential trans, and a carbon fiber tub. We'll keep you up to date on this one, as he previously created a car called the Giocattolo, which was shut down due to poor sales.
