The British-built Caparo T1 races from 0-100km in just 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of more than 320km/h.
Only 24 cars will be sold worldwide and while motor show director Russ Tyrie says the company would probably sell one to anyone in Australia who was interested, and could afford the price tag of about $625,000, there won't be any international distributors set up and sales will be dealt with through the company.
With the credibility of engineers who were behind the iconic McLaren F1, the Caparo T1 has been developed with hi-tech aerospace and racing technologies.
It has a lightweight, mid-mounted V8 engine, producing 360kW at 10,500rpm. The Caparo is designed in sections for easy repair and it can achieve cornering and braking forces of three times the force of gravity.
The T1 is on its way to Australia especially for the Melbourne International Motor Show, which runs from March 2 to 12, to demonstrate the engineering design company's capacity with lightweight materials.
