Carl 3 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 Have a look at this news item Hulme Super Car Has anyone heard of this??? Interestingly it is being powered by a modified BMW M5 V8 engine...consider it, a carbon fibre hand build car powered by a modified M5 V8, just think of the power to weight ratio!!! To be unveiled in Wellington to, just might have to go have a nosy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 There have been threads on the Hulme on here before, it also has been in a fair few NZ Car Mags as well over the past year. Cain is involved in it as well I think. Is that right Cain? Also Gerry from the car club has some involvement in it too. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 News to me that it's being shown. It isn't a working car to my knowledge. The motor and chassis were still in the workshop a while ago and no-one working on it in the interim. Might stop by this afternoon and have a look.

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 OK, I went. Yes, the Hulme is being launched in Wellington on the 23rd and Auckland on the 31st. It is a show car only. The paint is very nice (Evan's P&P). They are tidying it up now. I'll go and drop by on Thursday to have another squizz to see how they are getting on.

OLLIE 26 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 i saw tony parker last friday he said that it will be ready in a week so they are cutting it pretty fine. i too was surprised at the total lack of publicity but it makes sense now. the unveiling is not really a public unvieling it's a way of getting more funding to take the car to motorshows and into production. as you know cain they are short on money.

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 They have had the show car together a number of times already. They are just tidying it up to display. They seem happy on the money front at the moment. So who wants to be my date to the launch? Don't worry, that spot has probably already gone. They aren't that exciting anyway. The one for the Gallardo was Ok though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2005 OK. I've just seen the completed Hulme. It looks HOT. There is meant to be a clip on the Wellington launch tomorrow night 7pm on One. There may even be a V10 option in the future. :bounce: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
