2001 Cunningham C7 GT news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
Briggs Cunningham III following in the legacy of Briggs Cunningham II, introduced the all-American made luxury grand touring Cunningham C7 at the 2001 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, MI. The $250,000 price tag included a powerful big-block twelve-cylinder engine capable of producing 500 horsepower. To save cost and since Cunningham did not have an assembly plant, the car was to be built by a group of American suppliers.
'We will tap into the extremely rich vein of independent automotive talent, from designers to chassis developers to fabricators to manufacturers, available around the United States, from metropolitan Detroit to Southern California,' said Cunningham President and Chief Executive Officer, John C. McCormack.
'We believe we can develop the Cunningham for less than Chrysler spent developing the Viper,' said McCormack. 'And one of our founders and advisors, one of the fathers of the Viper, Bob Lutz, knows all about this type of operation.'
Production is slated to begin in 2003. Other details include the possibility for an AWD and rear-wheel drive configuration. The wheels are 22-inches in size.
