The First Lebanese Super-Car "Frem-F1"

With his eventual goal to bring fame and automotive glory to his homeland of Lebanon, 25-year-old design student David Frem has completed the first stage in what he characterizes as “a dream to make a car that could race Ferrari” – the wildly strange Frem F1. He has plans to debut it during the Detroit Auto Show in January of next year.

The F1 is currently powered by a Volkswagen-sourced 2.0-liter four-pot and mated to an Audi gearbox, good for a claimed top speed of 124 mph. When it comes to the design of the car we have to admit that it needs more work. The front end resembles Frem’s marque. However, the massive upright scnoz and the gaping air intakes will not appeal to the European pedestrian impact standards.
