Minerva, a long dead Belgian car manufacturer has risen from the grave. And they’ve returned with a bang with a supercar named after the British racing driver and aviation pioneer Lord John Moore Brabazon.
The Minerva J.M. Brabazon is a fancy bit of kit too. This is no cobbled together contraption with a posh name but shed engineering. The body work is carbon Kevlar, and it sits on top of a carbon fiber monocoque chassis.
The drivetrain is equally impressive, being a hybrid setup which comprises of a mid-mounted twin-turbocharged V12 engine assisted by two electric motors which power the front wheels. Other highlights include a 6-speed sequential transmission, limited slip differential, and 5-mode driving setup, including economy, normal, sport, race and safe.
Minerva say the J.M. Brabazon is capable of topping 248 mph (400km/h), which if true, puts it in the top echelons of supercar performance.

Unfortunatley, despite Minerva’s valiant efforts to create a high-tech machine capable of running with the best. They’ve neglected the exterior design. Leaving them with a rather generic-looking machine which doesn’t do justice to the impressive engineering underneath.
