Picasso Automotive comes up with an ultra-light supercar

Switzerland-based niche automaker Picasso Automotive showed us some teaser shots of its PS-01 supercar last year, and is now following up with fresh 3D renderings.

The track weapon utilizes a lightweight chassis with a rear subframe and body both made of carbon fiber. It weighs in at just 900 kilos (1,985 lbs).

The teaser pic reveals what looks like a very streamlined body with prominent wheel arches and a massive carbon-fiber rear wing. The rear end also reveals a diffuser, a roof spoiler and dual exhaust tips. The front is not shown in any detail, but one can safely expect a splitter, a large radiator grille and LED headlights.

Powertrain specs remain unannounced, but rumor has it that the PS-01 utilizes a twin-turbo’d V6 rated at 600 PS (592 hp / 441 kW).
