LAFFITE X-ROAD SUPERCAR
// laffitesupercars.com The Laffite X-Road supercar is named for its designer, Bruno Laffite, the former Operations Director for Zarooq Motors. The design is a unique combination of sports car and off-road vehicle. Weird but cool. The basic X-Road has a 470 horsepower GM LT3 V8 engine. The optional supercharged version has 720 horses under the hood, which you definitely will never need. You get 17 inches of wheel travel at every corner and a Dakar-ready Chromoly frame and suspension system. The luxurious interior features leather seats, carbon fiber, and aluminum. I don’t usually get excited about sports cars, but I love the weird and chunky look of this one. Sad news for me, though: only 30 of these are slated for production, and pricing starts at $500,000 for the gas version, $545,000 for electric.
