Rossin-Bertin Vorax SC '11
Rossin-Bertin is a Brazilian automotive company founded in 2010. The company's name is made up from the surnames of the two men who conceived the idea. Fharys Rossin - an ex-GM designer, and Natalino Bertin - a young guy with plenty of spare cash because his family owns a very successful slaughterhouse business.
And the car they hope will make them rich(er) and famous is called the Rossin-Bertin Vorax. The car itself is a dramatic and menacing looking coupe. The lines are fairly unique, and Rossin has done a good job of making the car look different from most other generic supercars. The bodywork is formed from carbon fiber, while the chassis is an aluminium spaceframe unit.
Powering the Rossin-Bertin Vorax is a 5.0 litre V10 borrowed from the BMW M5. This engine is offered in two different flavors. First up is the naturally aspirated model which develops 570 hp and allows for a 0-100km/h time of 3.8 seconds, top speed is 330 km/h. The top spec model of the Rossin-Bertin Vorax is the supercharged version. This puts out 750 hp and can get to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds. Top speed is 372 km/h.

Porsche 906E '66
The Porsche 906 or Carrera 6 was the last street-legal racing car from Porsche. It was announced in January 1966 and 50 examples were subsequently produced, thus meeting the homologation requirements of the FIA's new Group 4 Sports Car category to the letter. The type would also compete in modified form in the Group 6 Sports Prototype class.
The Porsche 906 was produced in 1966 with a total of 65 examples being produced with 9 being prototypes outfitted with fuel-injection engines. It was designed under Ferdinand Piech's direction that began almost immediately when the introduction of the Ferrari Dino racers had virtually made the Porsche cars obsolete. The first item to go was the ladder frame in favor of a lighter spaceframe construction. Porsche intended to outfit the car with 13 inch wheels but unfortunately did not have direct access to these parts. The wheels would not only have to be small, but lightweight and rigid. They found what they were looking for at Lotus who used a similar design for their Formula 1 race cars. Porsche acquired the wheels and Lotus gladly unloaded their spare parts. A flat-eight Grand Prix engine was fitted, although a lightweight 6-cylinder engine would become the option of choice for many of the races. The 8-cylinder engine was mostly reserved for hillclimbing events especially when competing against the Ferrari Dinos. A spider body was fitted, and its inaugural appearance was at the Swiss Ollon-Villars hillclimb where it was met with disappointing results that were clearly to-do with poor testing and rushed development. The Ferrari's easily dominated the event and sent Porsche and their ''Ollon Villars Spyder' back to the drawing-board.
The trend in the automotive community was shifting from carburetors to fuel injection. Not to be left behind, Porsche began experimenting which often produced less-than desirable results. After much tuning and development, a suitable system had been found. The Bosch injection system proved to be the most reliable and produced the best results. Though the performance did not increase, it did provide superior throttle response over the Weber carburetors, and it was easier to tune.
To compliment the new engine, a new body was created which reduced drag levels. Porsche dubbed the resulting car, with its new engine and body work, the 906E, with the 'E' representing 'Einspritzung, or injection. Once again, Porsche found their car being raced int he prototype class. Its inaugural race was at the 24 Hours of Le Mans where the car proved to be very capable. A group of 906E's finished 4th, 5th, and 6th behind a very strong group of Ford GT40's. Though the Porsche 906's did not finish first they were able to defeat the V-12 Ferrari Ps for the first time.

AmoritzGT DoniRosset '13
The Brazillian design studio AmoritzGT, headed by ex-Volkswagen designer Fernando Morita, has just unveiled their prototype supercar which was commissioned by William Denis Rosset as an extravagant gift for his father Donino Rosset. The prototype took a staggering 35,000 man-hours to complete, and all the work was carried out by a team of just six people.
The AmoritzGT DoniRosset isn’t just some fancy fiberglass body draped over a floppy ladder-frame steel chassis either. It’s a carbon-fiber bodied, aluminium-chassis piece of artwork powered by a Dodge Viper-sourced twin-turbocharged 8.4 litre V10 hooked up to a six-speed sequential transmission.
Design features of the AmoritzGT DoniRosset include a central driver’s seat with two passenger seats set further behind, LED lighting both front and back, five centrally positioned exhausts pipes, and a logo plated in 24 karat gold with two emerald stones either side.
Fernando Morita comments on his design: “The one-box body is in two-tone to emphasize the reference to a F1 car, where the dark parts give the idea of structural basis and the lighter color a second skin. The main theme was to merge form and function, then all the lines used are directly related to the mechanical parts. The interior and exterior are also connected, seeking simplicity and direction of lines converging to the pilot.”

Delta E-4 Coupe '11
The automotive world is preparing for the ultimate gas price takeover and more and more start up companies are waiting to hit it big in the electric car business. Small start-up company, Delta Motorsport, is one of these hopefuls and their latest project, the Delta E-4 Coupe, has a winning combination of performance and electricity.
The Delta E-4 Coupe is a very compact, light weight, low drag, 4-seat passenger car that the company has been working on since 2007. The idea behind this model was to build an ultra low energy vehicle, and not just a vehicle that provides low emissions. The company feels that any car can provide low emissions if run on batteries, but bigger automobiles - like the Audi Q7 or the BMW X5 - will still be depleting energy at a much faster rate than smaller, more lightweight vehicles. They go on further to explain that automakers, after creating all of these low emissions vehicle, will eventually have to focus more on reducing the energy used by these models.
The Delta E-4 Coupe has a 85 kg carbon composite chassis that was designed by the Delta Motorsport team at the Silverstone track (that’s where the company is based) and manufactured by KS Composites.
The Delta E-4 Coupe is powered by high performance direct-drive electric motors that come in weighing about 50.7 lbs. These motors produce over 120 HP each with well over 443 lb-ft of torque, allowing the E-4 Coupe to get from 0-100 km/h in less than five seconds and hit a top speed of 242 km/h.

But let me guess, they all have their origins in the southern states of the country amirite? I always hated the north.

Leopard 6 Litre Roadster '05
Poland isn’t famed for its automotive manufacturing. Sausages yes. Cars no. But one small company in Warsaw, established in 1992, has been doing their best to change all that. Leopard Automobile has been making sports cars since 1994, but their latest creation is something rather special.
The Leopard 6 Litre Roadster is a classical sport-style luxury car designed by entrepreneur Zbysław Szwaj. The car is produced by a privately held Polish company Leopard Automobile Mielec Sp. z o.o.. Zbysław Szwaj is the company co-founder, designer, and also the designer of the Gepard car.
The Leopard 6 Litre Roadster is based around a computer-designed tubular steel space frame chassis which has been crash tested in the UK. The engine is a GM-sourced LS-2 all-aluminium 6.0 litre V8 which produces 405 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm and 542 Nm of torque @ 4,400 rpm. The transmission is a 6-speed manual Tremec T-56 gearbox. With this drivetrain, the Leopard 6 Litre Roadster can bolt to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds dead. The top speed is 250 km/h.
The styling of the Leopard 6 Litre Roadster is one of its most distinctive features. It joins the long list of retro and classically inspired contemporary sports cars with modern underpinnings. The interior too is well designed. It’s slightly more refined than you might expect. And although it has a little bit of a kit car vibe to it, it’s neat, tidy and well thought out.
Other highlights of the Leopard 6 Litre Roadster include powerful Brembo brakes at all four corners, custom designed lightweight alloy wheels forged by RH Alurad, and a quick-rack power-assisted steering system.

It's cool to see this list got back to its roots, featuring unknown cars.
A Polish Morgan, that's something I never heard of.
