    This is not a kit car, most of the components for this car need to be made or sourced by the builder. Although we all have a puma chassis, each car is manufactured by the builder/owner which makes all the cars very individual and unique. The result is a personalized, extremely fast awesome handling car. 

    Puma #1and #6 have over 205kW at the rear wheels and weigh about 680kg. As a comparison an Australian V8 Supercar has about 350kW at the rears and weighs about 1350kg while a F50 Ferrari has about 340kW and weighs 1200kg.
