A 1,200bhp car built from volcanic rock could soon be taking to the roads – for a cool £1m.

DiMora Motorcars of California plans to use solidified lava in the construction of its Natalia SLS 2 super saloon.

The company claims the Volcanic material called Barotex will make the car lighter and stronger than any car in its class.

A spokesperson for Barotex Technology said: "Not only is lava rock more abundant, but our manufacturing process requires far less energy.

“It is friendly to the environment, and the automobiles built with Barotex are lighter, so they use less energy every mile travelled."

Powered by a 14-litre engine named the ‘DiMora V16 Volcano’, it’s claimed to have a monumental 1200bhp and 900lb/ft of pulling power – more than a 253mph Bugatti Veyron.

The small company is making big claims for the car – it wants it to be the most luxurious and technologically advanced car on the market when it goes on sale.

The Natalia SLS 2’s planned specification includes more than 60 onboard computer systems, four-wheel-drive and four-wheel-steering for increased handling performance and manoeuvrability.

Heat sensitive paint will change colour from black or blue when the car is cold to white when it’s hot.

Small video projectors mounted inside the headlight cluster will be able to project TV and video images when the car is parked.

Other features include, a wireless personal computer, TV screens, bar, heated cup holders, massaging seats, head-up windscreen display and Waterford crystal ashtrays.

If the DiMora Natalia SLS 2 is built, it will be a competitor to the luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom. Check it out in this video:
