January 10th, 2010 You may recall that at last year’s Detroit Auto Show, America’s Revenge Designs, a tuner of GM products turned niche auto manufacturer, unveiled its GTM-R supercar based on the Factory Five GTM platform. For the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, which kicks off this week, Revenge Designs is set to unveil a brand new supercar called the Verde, which is previewed here in this official teaser. The new Verde will eventually have a pricetag of $180,000 when it goes on sale in July. Comparing the car to the Lamborghini Gallardo, which costs upwards of $250,000, Revenge Designs CEO Peter Collorafi said: "That Gallardo's clutch will run $16,800 to repair. Ours will be done with domestic vendors and labor and run $3,200. That's a niche we want to fill." Two different powertrains will eventually be offered for the Verde supercar: a regular V-8 and an advanced gasoline-electric V-8 hybrid dubbed the HP2ge. This latter unit is claimed to return a fuel-economy of up to 110 mpg while developing a peak output of 400-horsepower and 500-pound-feet of torque. Revenge Designs is hoping its new supercar will be able to gather enough international attention that the company will eventually be able to start exports. [Revenge Designs via WorldCarFans]
