231mph Brazilian supercar revealed

In a land far, far away, a creature of rendered legend lingers on the lips of people who like 'Internet'; a creature as yet unheard, unseen and, frankly, unbelievable.

Why? Because it exists in the minds of a few people. A few people who have knocked out a few renders, cooked up a few figures and announced an ambition to build a Ferrari/Porsche rival. This is the Rossin-Bertin Vorax: Brazil's newest supercar.

Designer Fharys Rossin and heir to the Bertin Group of slaughterhouses Natalino Berin Jr plan to make between 500 and 1,000 models of the Vorax, apparently capable of 231mph in full fat form.

It shall have 750bhp! It shall do 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds! It will fly with the eagles and have a marine depth of 3,000ft!

We made that last bit up, because these figures haven't been tested, just 'guestimated'. It uses the now-defunct BMW V10 as seen in the M5 and M6, and will apparently weigh in at 1,300kg.

Sceptical? Us? Never! We welcome such wanton ambition and expert figure calculation! It will make its debut at the Sao Paolo Auto Show, so if it's real, we'll tell you more...
