Falcon F7 Gimmick International or for real ?






And who says the Italians get to have all the supercar fun? For this Supercar Thursday, I give you the Falcon F7. Born in Detroit and powered by a Lingenfelter twin turbo V8, this handmade aluminum and carbon fiber beauty roars down the road with 1100 horsepower, and can reach speeds in excess of 250 mph. For around the price of a large size house, you can give Lambos and Ferraris a run for their money, all $400K of it. Look's good on paper, but who really would spend $400K on something that might vanish tomorrow.
