Introducing a vintage model brought back to life... the Unis Taipan GT. This baby could produce up to 500 horsepower from its twincharged Flat-6 engine, and get up over 200 mph. She was primarily built just to cruise the twisty alps of Switzerland, or roam the autobahn at high speeds in comfort. This baby will keep you happy for years to come with its simple layout and ease of maintenance from its one-of-a-kind hand-built engine. This was the beauty of 1968.

Fun Fact: Since each engine is hand-built, horsepower may vary between 490-520.

Specs:
Engine: Flat-6 Twincharged RE935
Transmission: Manual 5-speed with an auto-latch clutch
Drivetrain: RWD with a folded shift-change rear end
Top speed: Over 200, last time tested was 230+ MPH...
0-60: 2-4 seconds

Its racing pedigree includes multiple runs in Le Mans, as well as multiple rally stages. There have been many iterations of this vehicle, being more and more upgraded as time has gone on. The last model to race, serial #44-3879-1970, was retired in 1983. She was displayed in a private collector's museum, but was then sent to the Takswagen Museum when Unis became a subcontractor earlier this year.
