📢Just on Paper🇮🇩 - In the ever-evolving world of automobiles, capturing the public's imagination with a perfect blend of power, speed, and captivating design is essential for each new car model. Legendary sports cars often serve as benchmarks for these creations. The era of supercars has introduced models that deliver stunning performance and come with substantial price tags.

The Sanca GT project began in April 2007, spearheaded by an Indonesian designer Arifin Santoso and a team of European engineers. By 2008, a 1:4 scale model was ready, and over the years, nearly 19,000 hours of meticulous work have been dedicated to perfecting this concept car. Extensive tests and refinements have shaped the Sanca GT into the masterpiece it is today.

Measuring 4.33 meters in length and weighing 1,350 kilograms dry, the Sanca GT is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Its lightweight monocoque chassis and impressive 647 horsepower, which can be increased to 720 hp, give it a futuristic and novel appearance.

The car boasts 819 Nm of torque, with power delivered to the rear wheels via a 6-speed Xtrac gearbox. Carbon-ceramic brakes further enhance its appeal. The creators estimate that the Sanca GT can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, reach 161 km/h in exactly 7 seconds, and achieve a top speed of 330 km/h.
In April 2011, the scaled model of the Sanca GT made its debut at the Top Marques Monaco, an exclusive car show featuring renowned designs. This event aimed to attract potential investors. The basic version of the Sanca GT, labeled the S650, is estimated to cost €300,000, excluding VAT.
