In a land far, far away, a creature of rendered legend lingers on the lips of people who like 'Internet'; a creature as yet unheard, unseen and, frankly, unbelievable.
Why? Because it exists in the minds of a few people. A few people who have knocked out a few renders, cooked up a few figures and announced an ambition to build a Ferrari/Porsche rival. This is the Rossin-Bertin Vorax: Brazil's newest supercar.
Designer Fharys Rossin and heir to the Bertin Group of slaughterhouses Natalino Berin Jr plan to make between 500 and 1,000 models of the Vorax, apparently capable of 231mph in full fat form.
It shall have 750bhp! It shall do 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds! It will fly with the eagles and have a marine depth of 3,000ft!
We made that last bit up, because these figures haven't been tested, just 'guestimated'. It uses the now-defunct BMW V10 as seen in the M5 and M6, and will apparently weigh in at 1,300kg.
Sceptical? Us? Never! We welcome such wanton ambition and expert figure calculation! It will make its debut at the Sao Paolo Auto Show, so if it's real, we'll tell you more...
231mph Brazilian supercar revealed
Meet the Vorax: a mythical 750bhp supercar powered by fairy dust and dragon's blood. Not really

I am also working on a supercar: The Hypaduramax RS GT3 X1. It will have a quad turbo, twin supercharged V15 and will run soley on baby farts. We are hoping for a top speed of 325 MPH and a 0-60 time of 0.6 seconds (thanks in part to its innotive three wheel drive system) Deliveries start july next year, once we have our first deposit of just £1.3 million you can own one of these rare exclusive Veyron beaters yourself! The prototype will be out before christimas and if you thought the Gumpert Apollo was hot, wait until you see this!

If this is in association with Rossin cars based out of Pompano Beach Florida, then I look forward to seeing it. I saw their first vehicle (I cant remember the name) at the Miami Int'l Auto show two years ago and it looks great, very much like a Noble, but slightly prettier. They didnt have any that you could sit in, so Im not sure about interior fit and finish. The vorax looks like the child of a Maserati Gran Tourismo and Chevrolet Camaro
