    Yes there is one of those it is called the Mastretta MXT
    [​IMG]
    It has a pretty small supercharged 2.0 L Straight 4 engine that produces 250 hp and can reach a top speed of 149 mph.

    Nice. That reminds me of the Lotus, Audi TT and there is another car that I can pick out but reminds me of something. They have some decent specs for that car. Surprising that they didn't try to go for a lot more horse power. Seems like everyone is getting into the Super car market.

    Whoa, that looks pretty sick, I'm not judging by the manufacturer's country of origin but that is amazing from them. Mexico really isn't your typical country to produce such an astonishing supercar.

    I was reading about it and they built it to handle on the track but as well as to drive around the city. They say its great on trips as well.

    They produce enough American cars that this should be a piece of cake for them to produce. Looks pretty solid but the top speed seems a little low considering it can get 250HP and is supercharged.

    I've googled the car and so far it is promising for the global Supercar market, I am definitely admiring this car right now, it looks very solid and just sexy looking.

    Wow! Would I ever like to drive that car! Some cars just scream sexy, this is definitely one of them. I love the color as well.

    I really like the looks of this car from the picture. I am going to go on Youtube and see if i can find any video of it on the road. If anybody has seen any video, send me a link. I will post one if I find one.

    Here's a Youtube video of the Mastretta MXT. I think it looks almost exactly like a Lotus: Mastretta MXT

    The video works if you click on the Mastretta MXT link.



    See if this works.

    Thanks for posting the video. It does have that Lotus look. The front looks a lot like the newer MR2's.

    I'm actually in Mexico and I haven't seen this car anywhere, not in production, or at any showcase. Not even in the news or automotive-related TV shows.

    Well I'm in Mexico City and perhaps this car is being developed by a manufacturer near the US border, but either way it's strange nobody here speaks about it, because this car is not in any local magazine or newspaper either.

    I thought that the old school VW Beetle was the Mexican Super car. They produced it up until 2003.

    Does it come with an AK-47 and cocaine? Sorry, I just had to ask. I am really surprised how small the engine is. I need to see this thing in action before I can consider it a legitimate car.
