Kepler Motors supercar in Dubai International Motor Show

Kepler Motors revealed their MOTION supercar. The car makes its first debut at the 2009 Dubai International Motor Show shortly on December 16-20.

Kepler MotionThe Kepler Motors MOTION is powered by a customized version of Ford’s 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine that creates 500-hp. A 250-hp electric-motor drives the front wheels of the car. The car reaches 60 mph in just under 2.5 seconds with a top speed of over 200 mph.


The car uses carbon fiber compound resources for its two-seat monocoque chassis and body. The light, strong and highly impact-resistant structure offers a two-seat cabin intended to accommodate drivers of over regular size, in a stylish, sophisticated and aerodynamically efficient design.

Kepler MotionThe MOTION uses StopTech new Continuous Carbon Ceramic AeroRotors on all four wheels to ensure smooth, fade-free stopping control. Comprising silicon carbide ceramic material reinforced with long, continuous carbon fibers, the unique C3 brake rotor material offers greater mechanical durability and unique heat transfer capabilities when compared to competitive carbon-ceramic rotors.

Kepler announced that only 50 units of the MOTION will be manufactured and the car will be sold at a premium price. Manufacture and release of car are planned to begin in 2011.
