In January 2006 Joss stated that the required investment money for finalizing the car's design was still being pursued and further 12 to 18 months will then be required to roll out the first fully fledged production car.The Joss has been on display at both the 2004 Melbourne International Motor Show and theSydney Motor Show , where it seemed to be the main attraction.The Joss Supercar can be seen in theXbox 360 video game PGR3 andPGR4 although at that point no actual road-going car existed.The Design
The Joss was designed with a sleek modern look. The front is reminiscent of the
Ascari KZ1 and shares proportions with theMcLaren F1 , especially with respect to the windscreen. The rear loosely compares to theSaleen S7 and theMcLaren F1 .The car has only one colour, being somewhat close to a sky blue, though the car has been photographed with its production team in white.Features
