Potter Sports Cars Pty. Ltd
For immediate release.


Okay anoraks, schoolboys, oil sheiks and celebrity multi-millionaires. It is my great pleasure to announce, after seventy years of development the 'Potter'. This ultra-high performance supercar is set to turn the motoring world on fire with it's astounding performance and style. Setright may have coined the word "supercar" but we have created the worlds first "Megacar"! From its sleek, blood red livery all the way to its retro side pipes, the Potter screams "business". The body is constructed from a mars-age composite that contains exotic fibres formerly only known to exist by the Clapham Gardening Club. Mere numbers do not do this towering ultra-car justice but for all you armchair experts, here they are in a nutshell.

Engine: 900CI supercharged V8 with state of the art OHV valve train, pumping out 3200Hp and 1926FtLb of torque.
Gearbox: Twin Porsche G50 transaxles each driving its own rear wheel.
Interior: Pine with felt highlights.
Sound system: Sanyo 100W PMPO system with radio and cassette (well the cassette doesn't work any more).
Now for the numbers that even Clarkson wants to hear.
Acceleration: 0-60 in .62 seconds. 0-100 in 3.1 seconds.
Top speed: 389MpH (calculated from gearing).

I confidently predict that the market for the Bugatti Veyron is about to dry up. As a matter of fact you'll be able to pick one up for a tenner after these head-turners hit the streets.

Anyone interested in placing an order better do so quickly, places on the books are filling fast. A press conference will be held in coming weeks where we won't let anyone drive the car (insurance)We expect to be producing around a thousand units per week from our 120 SqFt facility in Berks starting next year.

Start drooling people here's the automotive enema you've been waiting for.



Sorry, gotta go, I think that's Jay Leno on the blower.......

Well they just attached a shed to a quad bike really. Not that hard if so inclined.
