1989 Zender Fact 4 Biturbo

The aesthetic of the Lamborghini Countach heavily influenced it, but the strangely named 1989 Fact BiTurbo concept from tuning company Zender was much more of a homespun phenomenon. Using a carbon fiber shell and casing a turbocharged V8 from Audi, the ugly bug Zender Fact BiTurbo would have easily punched through the five-second pull-away barrier.


If it had ever lapped a circuit, it might have been rather svelte, too, having tipped the scales at only a shade over 1000KG. Able to produce around 450 horsepower, it would have been a beast - and recalls the bug-eyed intensity of a Pagani in its hand-wrought magnificence. There was a spyder version too - but neither made it to full-time production. We reckon the dream of privateer success on the streets of the eighties would have been harpooned by rising interest rates!
