SEMA 2009: 2010 HTT PLETHORE LC750

by iz · November 9, 2009

Today, we would like to post about the newest supercar which is made by Canada-based HTT Technologies. This car is the result of six years of development headed by company principle Luc Chartrand. Luc Chartrand is a former karting and stock-car driver, is the lone designer, engineer and founder of HTT Technologies.

Let’s take a look at the newest supercar on the scene, the HTT Plethore LC 750 which has the central driving position.Comprised of a carbon fiber architecture and body with an integrated (and supposedly soon-to-be) FIA-certified roll-cage, the Plethora could be the first production vehicle simultaneously approved for both the road and the track, and since high-level competition is close to Chartrand’s heart, it’s a necessity, he wants to see the Plethore competing in the American LeMans series.

To hang with the big boys at the upper echelons of motorsport, the Plethore has to be more than a lightweight body which is 2,535 pounds and a massive stance 89 inches in the rear. So Chartrand has mounted the Corvette ZR1’s LS9 longitudinally amidships and tweaked output to 750 hp. As with all start-ups, HTT plans to offer an even hotter version to the public, putting out a claimed 1,300 hp with the help of a set of turbos.

Currently channeling all that grunt to the ground is a six-speed manual, but there are plans to offer a six-speed sequential gearbox along with a limited-slip differential. Double wishbones are fitted at all four corners to keep the 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels in constant contact with the ground, with AP Racing brakes sized 15-inches in front (six-piston caliper) and 13-inches (four-piston caliper) in the rear.
