Dagger GT was only made with the super exclusive number, i.e 5 units and will be very dangerous when in mass production as quoted from Worldcarfans, on Monday, July 5, 2010. Therefore, the car's power was too powerful which can reach 2,000 bhp with 2,710 Nm of torque. The strength gained from Twin Turbo aluminum engine which is made by Nelson Racing Engines, and then combined with a TranStar Mendeola six-speed transmission.
As for the body design, this car took the basic design of the Corvette Cheetah concept car which was then corrected by the designer of the Saleen S7 super car. The outer body of the car is made from carbon fiber, while the chassis structure which is formed by a high-strength 4130 chrome steel.
With a blend of aerodynamic design and the crazy engine, Dagger GT was able to go faster from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 1.5 seconds with a topspeed reached 483 km/hour (300 mph).
