the MC1 is slightly shorter and narrower than a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, and a mere 15mm higher. Billed as a ‘production concept’, the MC1 sits on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, with a carbonfibre monocoque, beautifully engineered scissor doors, and stacked twin central exhausts.

The MC1 has been designed by David Hilton, whose previous freelance credits include work on the Ford Focus RS and S-Max.

The MCE MC1 is powered by a V10 engine that delivers 600 hp. Production will begin in 2011.
