Did it remain at the test mule stage or did it develop into a proper car eventually ?
Title: Re: Monty104
Post by: el_monty on May 11, 2017, 11:28:02 AM
As far as I know, the definitive car has not been built. This test mule has been driven by a well-known automotive magazine a few years ago but no photographs have appeared of the finalised car; plenty of renderings, though.

Was it tested by an US car magazine between 2010 and 2015 ?
Title: Re: Monty104
Post by: el_monty on May 11, 2017, 01:21:15 PM
Yes.
To be clear, I have seen the article about the car on the magazine's website; I don't know if the same piece appeared in print.

Supercar System V8 Roadster
Title: Re: Monty104
Post by: el_monty on May 11, 2017, 03:53:13 PM
You got it!
I am actually not entirely sure if the car was built in the US or the UK, since it is obviously LHD, and R&T's test took place in England. I haven't been able to find any reference to the place where the car was put together, so I went with Supercar System's HQ address, which is Greenwich, Connecticut.
