The Vision K2 was specifically designed for the American supercar
marketplace. The K2's slightly larger proportions over it's
European rivals, allows for more headroom, legroom and overall
interior space.
The K2 was designed to accommodate a BMW-sourced twin turbocharged
6.0 liter V12 power plant mounted mid-ship for balance and superior
handling capabilities. Power is transferred to 18" front
and 19" rear wheels through a custom built six speed transaxle.
The K2 utilizes a state-of-the-art independent suspension system,
incorporating coil-over shocks for superior control, power transfer,
and ride characteristics.
The exterior body of the K2 was styled to be aerodynamically
efficient, while also conveying a sense of power. The futuristic
design of the K2 reflects the vehicles' state-of-the-art components
and powerful 800+ horsepower. In addition to superior cornering
characteristics, the mid-engine layout creates an aggressive
cab-forward design which increases forward visibility and creates
a perfect 50 - 50 weight distribution balance between the front
and rear wheels. The K2's rear wing is designed for both safety
and performance, reducing turbulence behind the vehicle for
improved aerodynamics, and housing the rear brake lights for
improved visibility.
Safety is one of the most critical elements incorporated into
the design of the Vision K2. The K2 is designed with the following
safety features:
- carbon fiber,
honeycomb aluminum, and a tubular steel chassis for lightness
and strength
- carbon fiber
body panels for rigidity
- Integrated tubular steel roll cage to protect occupants in
the event of a collision
- Large racing derived ventilated rotor, 4 piston, anti-lock
brakes for superior deceleration.
- Dual air bags
- ZR rated tires
- Rear mounted video cameras providing unobstructed 180 degree
rear vision
- 4 point safety harnesses
- Flexible membrane fuel cell with automatic shut-off valve
in the event of a collision
