For starters there’s the variable-cylinder, 1200 hp aluminum V16 engine, add lightweight design borrowing from aerospace composites and structures, more than 50 onboard computer systems, four wheel steering and massage seats for rear passengers and you are beginning to get the idea.
DiMora Motorcar V16 Volcano Engine
The engine should almost be beefy enough to do the trick: 14.0 litres of V16 grunt are expected to pump out over 1200 horsepower, which will come in handy if you have to tow a trailer, caravan or small block of flats. Variable cylinder technology will deliver excellent gas mileage when cruising.
Aerospace Body Construction
The chassis and body will use “advanced aerospace materials and construction techniques to give superior strength at a weight easily 1,500 pounds less than luxury vehicles its same size.” This will aid frugal Natalia buyers in squeezing a few extra miles out of a gallon.
Variable Suspension
While details on the ‘variable suspension system’ are scant, DMC claim it “will provide a smoother ride than in any luxury sedan with the performance characteristics of the finest sports cars.”
Colour-changing Paint
As an optional extra, the Natalia will use revolutionary paint technology that lets the car change from black or blue when it's cool outside to white when it's hot.
