Thunder Road This is the Equus Bass770. Born and bred in Michigan, USA.

Classic American muscle car styling meets contemporary automotive technology? Yes, please. At the curbside, the Equus Bass770 effortlessly declares its intentions: Don’t tread on me. Its lines all scream American power, speed and toughness. Then you hit the gas. The handcrafted 6.2L supercharged aluminum V8’s sound signature is characteristic of ’60s and ’70s muscle cars, easing from elegance when cruising to a raging growl when the beast is unleashed. That V8 is also good for 640 hp, a top speed of 200 mph, and zero-to-60 in 3.4 seconds. The ride, though, is thoroughly modern; thank the advances in automotive technology onboard the Bass770. Magnetic selective ride control, Performance traction management, Active handling system, traction control and variable-ratio powersteering all help deliver a ride unimaginable in Detroit’s finest, circa 1965. The chassis is superformed aluminum lined with carbon fiber inners. Carbon ceramic break help bring her to a halt. And she’s designed and manufactured here in the United States of America—as if one glance couldn’t tell you that.
