The Mega Track is a supercar manufactured by the French automobile manufacturer Aixam between 1992 and 2000. Only five or six examples were built during this time.[1]
The concept of the Mega Track was conceived by Georges Blain, the boss of Aixam. At that time, the company specialized in cars that could be driven without a license (so-called light vehicles), but they wanted to diversify, and for this purpose founded the Mega brand, under which Blain wanted to build a super sports car. The project from which the Track emerged began in 1990. The Mega Track was presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1992.[2]
The Mega Track was powered by a 6.0 liter M120 V12 petrol engine from the Mercedes-Benz S600, with an output of 3940NaN0 and 570Nm of torque.[3] Originally, the Track was planned to be four-wheel drive instead of rear-wheel drive, but this was not implemented due to its complexity.
The Mega Track was a sports car that was also intended to be suitable for off-road use, which is why it had height-adjustable suspension. The vehicle can gain up to 34cm (13inches) of ground clearance in the highest suspension setting. The Mega Track also had large 20-inch tires (285/55 ZR20 at the front and 325/50 ZR20 at the rear), specifically manufactured by Michelin just for this model.[4] The Mega Track's fuel tank holds 110 liters.[5] The taillights of the Mega Track come from the Audi Coupé (B3).[6]
The Mega Track accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.4 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h.[7]
Each vehicle was handcrafted in the factory in Aix-les-Bains. In 1992, the price of the Mega Track was 1.7 million francs (excluding taxes). Partly because of this price, the Track was a commercial failure. Apparently only five to six examples were sold worldwide, two of which are now in the Aixam Group headquarters.[8]
