Youabian_Puma_51

Let’s assume that you have in your possession USD$895,000 (RM3,939,342), you’re looking to buy an exotic, presumably expensive car. However, if the thought of owning a second-hand Ferrari 599 GTO or Porsche Carrera GT doesn’t seem to be that appealing to you for some strange reason, how about this, then? The Youabian Puma, an “exotic street legal monster truck.”

Available for purchase from Swedish luxury products dealer James Edition, this bright blue Youabian Puma is sure to attract more than a few stares thanks to its design (an acquired taste) and gargantuan size. Measuring more than six metres long, two metres wide and nearly two metres tall, the four-seater certainly imposes its presence, and even boasts a retractable hard top!

Of course, if the looks don’t attract you, there is always the General Motors LS7 7.0 litre V8 engine under the hood. The mill churns out 505 hp at 6,200 rpm and 637 Nm at 4,800 rpm, more than enough to get the behemoth to sprint to 100 km/h from a standstill in 5.9 seconds.

Weighing well over three tonnes, the Puma’s chassis is made of aluminium and steel, while the body is built using aluminium and fibreglass composites. The car also rides on 20-inch chromed forged aluminium wheels, with stopping power provided by large 16-inch front (six-piston calipers) and 13-inch rear (four-piston calipers) rotors.

Creature comforts include eight-way power adjustable driver and passenger leather seats with memory function, 1,300 W eight-speaker audio system and a touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and voice recognition. Not a bad way to spend USD$895,000, right?
