And now he has unveiled his new Consulier GTP. A limited-production two-seater, the Consulier features a streamlined design that “some people find attractive and others don’t,” Grant Couch, president and chief executive officer of the company, says candidly. The car’s body is certainly unusual: it has no metal. It is made entirely of lightweight composite materials. The Consulier weighs under 2,000 pounds, much less than other supper sports cars. Because it is so light, Couch says, drivers can “decelerate in it much faster than in similar cars” and thus make turns more quickly. The car also features a “scooped” front nose and an air foil on the back – both designed to improve handling by creating what racing enthusiasts refer to as “negative lift”. That means that it may be effective.
