Kepler Motors, a California boutique automotive manufacture, announced today that it will unveil its 800-horsepower Motion gasoline-electric supercar at the Dubai International Motor Show, which starts Wednesday and runs through Sunday. The all-wheel-drive vehicle gets its power from a 550-hp, modified Ford EcoBoost twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 that drives the rear wheels and acts independently of a 250-hp electric motor that drives the front wheels. The Costa Mesa automaker said in a statement that the motion was developed from the ground up and incorporates a number of leading-edge technologies such as active suspension, launch control and programmable track assistant system.
