America's Bright Orange Supercar One-Off
Vision was founded back in 1997 and put together a mock-up of a car a year
later. In 2005, it introduced a working SZR prototype, powered by a 6.0-liter
V-12 engine and painted charcoal grey. In 2007, the car was updated with a 500
horsepower Chevy V-8 engine and that PPG
Vibrance metallic pearl orange paint that you just can't miss if you
tried.
Four years later, there's still but one bright-orange prototype.
However, Vision would like to move toward production, and COO John Misumi said
that the plan is to offer a limited production run.
Vision's website
advertises both 630 horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 and 700 horsepower
6.0-liter V-12 engine options. The car sits on an aluminum chassis and sports a
composite body, limiting weight to between 2,450 to 2,875 pounds. The company
also says 90 percent of the SZR is built from all-American components, helping
to fulfill its promise of "American muscle car for the next
millennium."
I don't love the paint scheme or the cheesy steering wheel,
but there's always something to be said for an original product born from
automotive passion.
Don't get too excited if you like the SZR, though;
word is that it cost some $2 million to build the prototype. So who knows how
much it will sell for or if production will ever come.
