Guest of Honour at the Canadian International AutoShow in Toronto: Canadian Supercar—the FELINO cB7R

February 1, 2020

MONTREAL–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Headlining the top-ranked auto show in Canada, FELINO—independent manufacturer of high-performance prestige sports cars—proudly present its latest model, the cB7^R, at the Canadian International AutoShow held in Toronto from February 14 to 23, 2020.

The brainchild of Canadian champion race car driver Antoine Bessette, the cB7^R is manufactured in the Greater Montreal area. This ultra-sporty, high-performance vehicle, designed for road driving, is as fierce, sleek and agile as its feline-inspired name suggests.

Featuring a V8 engine pushing 700 horsepower, this unbridled beast can reach speeds of up to 345 km/h and go from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 2.9 seconds and comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission and optional sequential gearbox, available for both road and track use. Its aerodynamic design, technological engineering and fully customizable features are just a few examples of what sets the cB7^R apart. This supercar also features carbon-fibre seats that are moulded to the driver’s body. In short, this vehicle offers all the thrills you would expect from the ultimate track car experience. With a starting price of CA$360,000, only 10 units of the limited edition FELINO cB7^R are made available.

“I’ve always been fueled by cutting-edge technologies,” stated Antoine Bessette. “Several years of research and development were required in order to create a vehicle this powerful for road use. We had to re-think each individual component to be able to provide both the features and the experience one expects of a premium high-performance sports car.”

The FELINO is more than just a car—it’s a unique custom experience. Based on a long list of options, the FELINO team works closely with each of its customers to create the perfect car and provides personalized post-purchase support.

FELINO was created in 2010 by a race car driver inspired to take two of his life’s passions—racing and technological innovations. Two prototypes, designed for a niche audience of sports car enthusiasts, were first introduced at the Montreal International Auto Show in 2014, following which a few units were produced in 2017. The company is currently working on the latest version of FELINO supercars—the cB7⁺—which is expected to outperform all previous models and will be made available before the end of this year.
