Lotec Sirius



2009 sees the launch of a revised Lotec Sirius. Not the most well known of supercars the Sirius is made in south Germany by tuning and Motosport company Lotec {link}.
Originally introduced in the first half of 2004 (pictured below) the Sirius is a supercar of note, weighing in at just under 1300kgs with power of between 1000 and 1200PS depending on turbo settings. A twin turbo (KKK K27s) 6 litre Mercedes V12 provided the power whilst a six speed gearbox and limited slip differential deliver the power to the rear wheels. Torque figures are equally as impressive as the PS figures with between 1100 and 1320Nm available from 3400rpm.
The 2009 Sirius sports a more refined carbon body over its steel space frame chassis with styling similarities to the McLaren GTR. A Mercedes engine is once again to be used but expect power figures to be a little lower than the outgoing model. prices and delivery times are still a little vague at present but the plunging € could mean any British buyer may have to pay between £450000 and £800000 for a Lotec Sirius.
