CYNHO -- Salica GT

There are at least hundreds, if not thousands, of small, obscure companies that make fun, sporty cars for relatively cheap, and this company, called Salica, is no exception.  This car was unveiled back in 2008, based on a Noble M12, and using the same engine, a Ford Duratec V6.  Thanks to two turbochargers fitted to the engine, in made anywhere from 400hp (in the base version) to 550hp (the GTC version).  It would have done 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, making it one of the highest-performing V6-powered cars of the time, and the top speed was an estimated 190mph.  Weight would have been 2,255 pounds.  The GTC version, essentially a track version of the normal GT (funny, because it was actually 45 pounds heavier than the standard version), was also proposed in 2008, but didn't make it beyond the prototype stage.  Speaking of which, neither did the standard GT.  So, unless one of the two prototypes pops up for sale on eBay, then no, you can't buy one.  Sorry.
