it was planned to have Chevrolet engine, V8 5,7 l with 450 - 550 PS reaching max speed 325 km/h and 0-100 km/h 3,7 s
Madiba had plans to start production in 2007 but as always probably it never happened
Here it is:
Madiba V8 (2006)QuoteThe car was originally built in South Africa (by which manufacturer?). There were plans to construct production cars in South Africa as well, but the car was to be redesigned in UK. The currect owner of the Madiba V8 project still is Mr. Mark Morley, I suppose, but due to financial problems the development may has been postponed.
