World Speed Record Holder, Russ Wicks, founder of Kepler Motors, is unveiling his new supercar at the 10th annual Dubai International Motor Show this month. The Kepler Motors MOTION is an all wheel drive Dual Powertrain Technology (DPT) vehicle, producing a combined 800 horsepower. The power comes from a modified Ford 3.6L V6 EcoBoost twin-turbocharged engine producing 550 horsepower, that powers the rear wheels, while a 250 horsepower electric motor powers the front wheels. This all wheel drive system launches the MOTION from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds with a top speed of over 200 mph. The car remains light with the use of a carbon fiber body. Only 50 will be produced, with each being hand built. Deliveries are expected to start in 2011.
