2005 Leblanc Mirabeau

Did we miss this car??? If so, how??? I don't see any mention of it anywhere in Car Talk or Automotive News...

This is about as close to a race car for the street as I've ever seen... dunno if they ever actually did get it street-legal though? They were working on it.

So what's so special about this car? It's got over 700hp but weighs 1219 lbs less than an Enzo. This is definitely race car material. I mean, this is basically like an LMP car for the street.

More pics at the link!!!!

(from Leblanc Press Release) Mirabeau, the newest car from wysstec. A real piece of art with the spirit of race.

The car is designed and prepared to fulfill all the FIA/Le Mans standards to drive the car in LeMans.

With this kind of potential, the Leblanc Mirabeau really belongs on the racing track. That it is street legal, is almost sensational.

To reach the maximum of lightweight building and race feeling the car interior is optimized for maximum of speed and acceleration. If there are some special wishes of leather interior and optional extras feel free to contact our engineers team.

That looks wicked fast and sexy too. Before I read the specs I thought to myself that it looks like it came right out of the LeMans racing series,...........then of course I read the specs and see it was designed to comply with all of the regulations for FIA/LeMans.

I would like 2 please.

Yeah, that's definitely a street legal race car. You need a racing helmet to drive that thing!

Nice! If street legal, you are gonna wreck the front end on the first uneven pavement you come accross.
