Hi I was sitting around wondering about a Track car that was supposed to come out 2-4 years ago that looked kind of like a shrunken Nazca C2 (90s BMW concept car) but cant remember the name at all. All i remember besides it looks is that it was from around the australian region (either australia, New Zealand, or maybe even tasmania) It was a something like 1400lbs, and came in both RWD and AWD configurations. It sounded pretty cool but i dont know if the company ever made that many cars, and despite my best efforts i cant recall the name or find it through other sources. It was all over Jalopnik and Topgear websites when it was 1st announced. Sounded promising but for all i know they went bankrupt

Anyways those are the details

Looks fairly similar to old Nazca C2 concept car 1400-1800lbs with options from 200 to 350hp (300+ had AWD availible) Probably Australian, but could of been Tasmanian for all I know.

NOT a Spartan V

Noo, not that. I should of added it had NO roof. More similar in profile to that Spartan V i mentioned, but with somewhat obvious hints of the Nazca. When i first found the spartan i thought it might be that but then i read "660lbs, 170hp ducati engine" and realized it wasn't a spartan either.

BTW, they're not Australian. Dennis Palatov's cars are designed and built here in the Pacific NorthWest (Portland, Oregon to be more precise).

He is actually shipping DP4s now. Pretty impressive engineering. Only downsides are no real competitive place to race it and that you cant take a buddy a long

(he is building a DP2 tho)

Oddly there's a series being put together in Thailand for the D4 (aka DP4), but yeah they are trackday cars. Though I suspect you could run them in the regional SPU class.

it's a larger shifter kart with aero and better suspension, I like it, but not at that price...
