Australian Develops F-1 Replica for Public Roads
Admirers of Formula One (F-1) racing competitions pretty soon will have the opportunity to feel like a professional race driver. The Australian Zac Mihajlovic is developing an F-1 racecar replica which can be used on public roads.
Zacaria
Zac started this remarkable project 2 years ago
and he plans to complete the replica by the end of the year. The supercar,
named Zacaria, is planned to be equipped with a Ferrari engine, hydraulic
lift-system, wings (spoiler), and racing transmission. It has been reported
that Mihajlovic plans to launch a small-size production of Zacaria. Potential
buyers of the supercar will have to loosen their purse strings because the
approximate price for the supercar will be about $725,000.
Mihajlovic partially revealed the information about technical components of Zacaria in his Instagram. The engine is a 6.3-liter V12 taken from Ferrari Berlinetta. The engine will operate with a 6-speed gearbox from Albins, a company that manufactures gearbox solutions for racing cars of the Supercars series. Customers will be offered a choice between a standard gear lever and paddle shifters. Mihajlovic believes that the Ferrari engine is a great choice for a racing car designed for public roads, and assumes that the power-weight ratio will be approximately 1:1. The engine output equals to 740 hp. The weight of the car is 700 kg. The car body is made of polished aluminium. The car is unpainted so you don’t have to bother about body blemishes.

It should be noted that the F-1 racecar replica for public roads is not the first unusual endeavor for the creative engineer from Australia. Several years ago, Zac Mihajlovic designed a drivable Batmobile from Batman movie. Zac, instead of making money by selling a unique car, decided to help incurably-ill children together with the charity organization Make-A-Wish. He frequently dresses as a Batman and entertains children
