Lucra Cars is a boutique car developer and manufacturer with a passion to create the next American supercars. Having made quite a splash last year with the rollout of the Lucra LC470, whose motto is "STREET LEGAL – but just barely," the company has just revealed pics and a bit of information about its Bugatti killer, the L148.

Here are your Power Plant choices: "Mercedes AMG and the GM LS are the world's most reliable and widely used high-performance engines. The tried and tested designs are bulletproof and proven themselves time and time again. Both power-plants are supported worldwide and limitless upgrades are available." :hmmm:

So that's what the baby of a Corvette and a Ferrari would look like.
Wish someone would use a less common design theme for these "Supercars".
 
I hate to say it, but the LS is a hard package to beat. Anyone else see the results from Drag Week? Not often you pull a trailer to the track with a six-second car, rather than the trailer carrying one.
 
The "E ROD" package is cool too. Just tired of seeing all the LS based builds.
 
I am as well, but you've got to admire a car that pulls a utility trailer to the track, unhooks, then goes and runs a 6.83 in the quarter-mile.
 
Yes. True enough. Gm has something there but it kind of takes the "Hot Rodder" out of hot roding. Anyone with deep enough pockets can buy the package and bolt it in with minimal skills. Id rather see a cool fabed out build with gathered affordable parts. Not a kit.

I do see the cool side of the LS package though. I like the driveabilty, fuel mileage, and power the E Rod kit offers. The down side in my opinion is that it will lead to that being the only "Legal" way to do a engine swap, or worse yet, the only way to keep our classic cars on the road.

I have no idea what the E Rod thing is, and a six-second car isn't off-the-shelf "kit" anything. The thing was pure drag car, but streetable enough to wear a tag and yes, drive to the event pulling the trailer. It was basically a Pro Mod car with a hitch.
 
The "E rod" is a GM factory crate engine/transmission/ ECM/wire harness kit. It's available in many HP and displacments. I think the kit even comes with catalytic converters.

Perhaps I have the name wrong but I don't think so.
 
I'm with Stretch in being sick of all The LS hype, whether they live up to or it or not. Cant pick up a copy of Hot Rod magazine from the last 5 years without at least one article or feature covering the damn things...usually it's most of the issue.

Pandering to GM like that might have kept the mags in business longer, but it also contributes to their irrelevance to the hobby overall.
 
What's really sickening is that they do it, and people eat the shit up--all while GM blatantly moves engineering and production out of North America.
 
Chevy's in general is why I stopped reading hot rod, popular hot rodding and car craft. Not to mention all the street rod stuff as well as the shows.
 
I don't hate Chevy. I'm just sick of the LS this and the LS that Bla bla bla.
