Octane XT640 GT and XT980 RS “Green Hell”
The Montreal based Octane Racing, a performance division of Angus Auto, part of the french Groupe Régal, is proud to announce its latest additions for the supercar aficionados and track enthusiasts - the XT series car. After nearly 10 years in development, the first two models are officially launched: the XT640 GT supercar as well as its big brother - the track monster XT980 RS “Green Hell” edition. Additional models, including a base XT entry model, are also rumored to be in the work.
2018 Octane XT640 GT
Driving never felt so good
This is the full luxury package for the discerning client. It’s optimized for the road and comfort, with less of an edge than the base XT model to be release later, or the RS edition. With its signature side winglets, active rear wing, sports tires, 7-speed DCT and a luxurious interior, performance is astounding, but this is also the car you want to use on your night out or your long journeys. With its aspirated V12, your feet melds with the car as you become one with the instantaneous throttle response. It is truly an Octane car at its core - a joy to drive, beyond your wildest dreams.

Note: Finally, that took me a while. I will most likely submit the GT version since the other is more a track car, but I had fun making the RS edition and pushing its limits. I tried many other editions but all had too many compromises. I hope it’s not too average tho. Still time for some tinkering.
