Built in Boucherville, Quebec, Canada from carbon-fiber composite.
The MK5 has a four cylinder rear mid-mounted engine producing 250 hp @ 11,000 RPM. This in turn translates to a 0-100 km/h time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h. The MK5 uses a 6-speed sequential gearbox transmission with a limited slip differential powering the rear wheels. Magnum says that the MK5 has been tested producing up to 2Gs of lateral force at the racetrack. Ride height set to 90 mm (3.5 in) for track and a 110 mm (4.3 in) on the street. (Can be set at factory per your preference, or can be interchanged by user)
Even though it is built in Quebec I don't think that we would be able to use it much here with our famous ginormous potholes.
The MK5's dimensions are L=3,914 mm (154.1 in), W=1,884 mm (74.2 in), H=1,069 mm (42.1 in) with a total weight of only 1,200 lbs (545 kg).
The MK5 rides on 18" ultra-light alloy wheel with 225/40R18 rubber in the front and 265/35R18 rubber in the rear.
This a great example of how an exotic car can be domestically produced right here in Quebec, Canada. Great job Magnum, wishing you luck.
The Magnum MK5 will be showcased at the Montreal International Auto Show, January 16-25 2015
