The Manufacturing Of Laraki Epitome
Automotive beginning one and manufacturing cars have occasionally astounded us with the amount of engineering applied to them. Some are mind-boggling, while others are merely exorbitantly expensive automobiles built on less expensive equipment. In the latter case, paying more money in exchange for exclusivity and better results.
An example of a customised car that weirdly fits into both categories is the Laraki Epitome, a ghost car that is most likely unknown to most people. It is irrationally sceptic but has astounding performance numbers.
Moroccan Car Manufacturer Belongs To Laraki Brand
The Laraki brand, well known in Morocco for its luxury boats, has a car factory in Morocco called Laraki Vehicles SA. Laraki tested the waters with the Borac, a grand tourer that was internally designed, and the Fulgura, a performance car based on a Lamborghini Diablo, before unveiling the odd-looking Epitome.
Performance measures were heavily emphasised in the Fulgura and Borac as well, but it was the Epitome that things really spiralled out of control.
Laraki First Car Was Fulgura
Laraki was established in 1999 by a Moroccan businessman who used the proceeds from his 1973-era car purchases and sales to fund his startup. Later, his son Abdeslam Laraki, a developer with a love of cars and boats, took over the company. Before gradually entering the automobile sector, he originally built lavish ships.
The firm's first vehicle was the Flugura, which was based on a Lamborghini Diablo. The 6.0L quad-turbo Merc V12 engine in this car produced 730 horsepower and had a top speed of 217 mph. In 3.4 seconds, it could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour.
The 9 Laraki Epitomes
Only 9 Laraki epitomes were ever intended, and well-known Moroccan-American rapper French Montana was the first to receive one. He was actually the only person to ever receive one, which is strange. The Laraki Epitome was astounding to see only on the roads, both for its peculiar yet alluring appearance and the fact that a Laraki was actually made! Tensions increased, though, when the car firm was unable to offer any details regarding the other 8 vehicles.
The vehicle that was manufactured was later revealed to be a display vehicle, with French Montana helping with its marketing.
The Complicated Designs Of Laraki Epitome
The Laraki Epitome has a very intricate pattern. Based on the image above, it is difficult to avoid making comparisons to an Aston Martin One-77 because of its extremely stunning appearance. From any other angle, it looks like one of those fast automobiles from open-world video games like Grand Theft Auto. There were numerous fake fins and air-vent issues, and the build, including the lights, was way too cheap for merely a car that cost $2 million!
But the car certainly drew people's attention, and the current model looks eerie with its crimson and black colouring.
