History
[edit]
The Missile is built by Corbellati, the production models are set to be manufactured in the Canary Islands. It was designed by Achille Corbellati and took inspiration from 1960s racecars.[1]
Performance
[edit]The Missile is planned to be powered by a twin-turbocharged 9.0L Mercury Racing V8 that Corbellati claims will produce 1,800 hp (1,342 kW) and 1,700 lb⋅ft (2,305 N⋅m) of torque with a goal of a 500 km/h (310 mph) top speed. Power goes to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited slip rear differential.[2] Corbellati says the car features a fully machined aluminium spaceframe chassis, though it was initially reported that it would use a carbon fiber chassis, as well as double wishbone suspension front and rear and carbon ceramic disc brakes with six piston calipers.[3] The prototype was hand built by Corbellati and runs and drives.
