Lamborghini, Ferrari and McLaren … in one

Lamborghini, Ferrari and McLaren … in one - News image

An ambitious modifier inspired by the designs of the Lamborghini Reventon, Ferrari Enzo and McLaren F1 has created this – the unique Predator Xtreme.

Photographed in California, the Predator Xtreme features a front similar to the Enzo – Ferrari’s most extreme and expensive production car ever – with an F1-inspired nose.

The air vents sit beneath the headlights and resemble those first seen on the Lamborghini Reventon hypercar, but which have now been used on the Gallardo LP560-4.

The interior appears to have been modelled on Britain’s most famous supercar, the McLaren F1, with the driver positioned in the centre of the three seat line-up.

The Xtreme is mid-engined although there are no details as to what size engine with what amount of power is available.

However, with the overall body similar to the Lamborghini Murcielago it’s possible the car uses the same 6.2-litre V12 engine, developing 580bhp.

While the front and interior is based on three of the world’s greatest performance cars, the Xtreme’s rear lights – according to Autoblog – are the same as those used on the Infiniti G35 four-door Japanese saloon.

The Ferrari Enzo was built between 2002 and 2004 with just 399 of the £418,000 Italian hypercars rolling off the production line.

With a 6-litre V12 engine developing 660bhp, the Enzo could be catapulted from 0-62mph in 3.65 seconds before reaching 218mph.

The Reventon is a far rarer sight to the Enzo with a mere 20 of the £800,000 Lamborghinis built between 2007 and 2008.

Despite the McLaren F1 being built ten years before the Enzo, it was considerably faster – hitting 240.1mph to make it the world’s fastest car until being dethroned by the 240.16mph Koenigsegg CCR in 2005.

The McLaren F1 is also Lewis Hamilton's dream car - and if he wins the World Championship three times he can get his hands on a special LM model.
