There's no shortage of small startups promising to build exotic supercars these days. Just a couple of months ago we showed you Poland's first venture into a segment dominated by names like Lamborghini and Porsche (before you viciously attack our comment area, we're not saying it will actually compete with Lambo…), the Arrinera.
Now, Carscoop reader Juha pointed us to a German startup, which to be frank, we have never heard before. The company is called Rotary Supercars Germany and on its website, it says it plans to create "a symbiosis of the ultimate hypercar and active environmental care".
The firm's upcoming hypercar is called the RSC Predator GT. Development said to have started in 2009 with the first prototype to be revealed in 2012, possibly at the Top Marques show in Monaco next April, and the production model, by the end of the year – or so the company claims on its website.
If you we're already skeptical about a project no one has ever seen or heard about before, then the performance specifications aren't going to ease any of your concerns…
On the website there are two models of the Predator GT: a prototype with a 1,200HP "4-rotor Rotary engine" and a "revised specification" version featuring an "8-rotary Rotary Engine" with a displacement of 5.2-liters delivering –hold on to something- 2,800-horsepower and…2,580 lb-ft (3,498Nm) off peak torque with a redline of 9,000rpm and 12,000rpm (both figures are listed).
Jules Verne…errr…we mean the website states that the 2,800HP Predator GT will be able to complete the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in a blink of an eye at…0.9 seconds. Still not impressed? Then how about a "0-600km/h (373mph)" sprint time of 7.0 seconds?
And you thought pigs couldn't fly…
H/T to Juha!

So they missed the 3000hp bar ? Ridiculous :)
This is BS. Someone just made a website and put this up on it. Maybe an automotive design student.
Wait... the specs says: 1200hp that's far from 2800hp mentionned in the title.
(also I have a hard time to believe the 0-600kph in 7s...)

I would love to see this happen I do not know about the 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint in a blink of an eye at…0.9 seconds. in the low 2.0 seconds I could see that happening. OK I did some looking around the net and found info on A top fuel dragster accelerates from a standstill to 100 mph (160 km/h) in as little as 0.7 seconds. so could do it 0-60 in 1.0 seconds
1991 Mazda 787BThis allowed for a maximum power output of 900 hp (670 kW) which was limited to 700 hp during the race for longevity.
the mazda 787b had a 4 rotor engine with a redline of 10,500rpm and produced 930hp, i guess 1200hp is possible. but won't they need access to mazda tech for the engine design and reliability?
Their tag line will be; 'How to drive into space....like a boss'
