Tramontana is a small Spanish supercar company that builds extremely low volume, high-powered track-based lightweights.Case in point, this one. It"s called the XTR and it is being displayed at the SEMA show. It features a variety of things that ought to pique your interest, if your interests include a) stupendously powerful V12 engines, and b) lizards.Not real lizards, sorry to report, but merely a lizard-texture" for the gold-coloured leather inside. Vilner a Bulgarian company specialising in car interiors is responsible for developing the Tramontana"s cabin. That"s right, golden leather.It flows from the car"s exterior colour scheme, with golden string" inside, and many other gold-coloured elements. Plus that two-seater, tandem seating layout, which rather stretches the definition of two-seat". Elsewhere there"s black Alcantara, and a specially designed steering wheel with hidden buttons for the horn underneath.Further underneath you will find something else that"s golden. A tuned, 5.5-litre Mercedes V12 pumping out 876bhp and 677lb ft of torque. The twin-turbo V12 is mid-mounted, running through a seven-speed sequential gearbox to the rear wheels. Ready to go, the whole XTR weighs just 1,268kg. And it"ll go from 0-62mph in less than 3.3 seconds.The XTR"s been around for a while, but the SEMA display is a good reminder for just how distinctive it is. Look at that opening canopy! Marvel at its face! There is no word on price, but know this: each Tramontana is basically crafted to your liking, inside and out. And if you don"t want a V12 (not sure why that thought would ever cross your mind), a 5.2-litre V10 is available.Does the car world need more lovingly crafted oddities like this, or are you not interested?Share this page: FacebookTwitterGoogle+WhatsAppMailtoCopy link
