2005 Laraki Borac news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
For several years Moroccan coachbuilder Laraki has come to Geneva wîth a spectacular sports car. But we have not driven one yet, and the fear is that the company will not outgrow the prototype stage.
This year Laraki is in Switzerland wîth the Borac.
It's the second time a car wîth this name pops up, as the company also unveiled a Borac in 2003. Then it was equipped wîth a 5.5-liter Mercedes AMG V-8.
Last year we saw the Fulgura wîth a 5.4-liter Mercedes V-8 wîth 570 hp or wîth a 6.2-liter V-12 wîth 660 hp. Now Laraki has equipped the Fulgura wîth a 6.0-liter Mercedes V-12 wîth 540 hp.
The car weighs 3306 lbs and sprints in 4.4 seconds from 0-60 mph and on to 192 mph.
Of course, the rubber has to be fat and Laraki has put the Borac on 265/35 20-inch front tires and 290/35 20-inchers in the rear.
The Moroccans hope to have the car ready to drive by mid-2006 and then to build it in a limited edition.Source - Laraki Automobiles
