The Hulme CanAm is a lightweight supercar six years in the making. The car is named after Denny Hulme, the New Zealander won the F1 title in 1967 before going on to win the Can-Am championship the following year. Appropriately, the car shown above is painted the same bright orange hue as the McLaren racer in which he did it.
The Hulme makes it's power thanks to a 7.0 liter LS7 V8 borrowed from the Corvette Z06, offering up 600 horsepower. That's enough to push this lightweight from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds and it will approach a top speed of nearly 200 mph.
The CanAm recently went through a shake down run at the A1GP race in New Zealand, where it lapped the track at 123 mph without an incident. It is expected to go on sale with a price tag around $700,000 sometime next year.
