Monty103 - Solved: Predator's PC010 ST
« on: April 09, 2017, 02:30:42 PM »
Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please identify this car. It is known by two different names, I will accept any one of them.

Egoista EM1 Stradale I reckon. Planned to be avaliable as a hybrid or full electric.

250gto gets the point!
This car was previously known as the Predator's PC010 ST, but there was a name change for the crowdfunding campaign, to Egoista EM01 Stradale. The crowdfunding was successful and all the necessary funds for the project were collected in a remarkably short time in late 2014/early 2015, but I don't know if any units have actually hit the street since then. The car is reported to be capable of a top speed over 290 km/h and can go from 0 to 100 in 3 seconds.

Sorry, I think I added the point before I wrote the reply but I'm sometimes absent-minded about this and now I'm having doubts. Did the point go up?

This car is actually a Predator PC010.
It was only used by Luca Fazzi to promote his crowfunding project:
Quote
Herewith we would like to clarify that all the images published in the crowdfunding page of “Egoista Motors” portray a model by Predator's, a company based in Reggio Emilia (IT). Such pictures have been utilized only as examples.

Egoista EM01 will be conceived as a brand new vehicle in the making of which Predator has no participation nor responsibility whatsoever .

The images and the video of the vehicle running on the streets are movie –style material and have been published as examples of what we want to achieve.

This statement arrived 5 days after a different story was told the Italian press. To make it short, here's what Corrado Cursi (Predator's creator) told the press:
"Luca Fazzi proposed a crowdfunding campaign in May 2014 to convert Predator into an electric car,  then in September, while we were making video footage on the road, I realized that Fazzi had presented it as an Egoist"

Thank you for the clarification!
I don't know how to change the title of the topic, can someone help?

I see that Egoista's FB page has an image of the intended styling for the Egoista EM01, which is indeed different. It's from two years ago and nothing new since then so... One has to wonder what happened with that crowdfunding money...   ??? :-X
