Tramontana, which mostliterally translates to "north wind," is also the name of the Spanishautomaker responsible for the creation pictured above. Dubbed the XTR,the early sketches of this road legal track car take note from Ariel, KTM and Aspid among others makers.
Whatreally makes this particular track car extra special is that thesecrazy Spaniards want to shove an 876bhp (888PS) V12 underneath thehood. Crazy? Yes, but this isn't the first time Tramontana is placingan ungodly amount of horsepower into a car the weight of a large dog.
The former Tramontana Rwas good for 700bhp thanks to a twin-turbo V12 and only weighed in ataround 3,000 lbs (1360 kg). This put the 0-60 mph (96km/h) time at 3.6seconds and top speed at 214 mph (344 km/h).
Thenew XTR keeps the same shape as its predecessor, but the Mercedessourced twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V12 will now be good for theaforementioned 876-horses
The XTR model will be launched by the end of 2012 with a base price of $514,000 (€420,000).
