Joss Developments new production supercar

Performance car enthusiasts are set for a treat with Australia’s own supercar company, JOSS Developments, announcing it is set to unveil a few surprises at the Australian International Motor Show (AIMS).

On its AIMS stand, JOSS Developments will show its evaluation vehicle, a wind tunnel model of the future production car (internally codenamed JP1), and componentry from selected technical partners.

For showgoers however the most anticipated of all will be a sneak computer generated preview of the new JP1 production car.

JOSS Developments Technical Director, Matt Thomas, admitted that a second motor show appearance had been a long time coming, but JOSS Developments had not gone away.

“We had an amazing reception for our JT1 prototype in Melbourne several years ago, but building a car business is very involved. So JOSS Developments has spent the last few years working on the business: building investment, working with our technical suppliers, and putting in place the right people so that when we launch JP1 the company will be geared up to deliver a great product to the market” Mr Thomas said.

“JOSS is about the best of the best, and the best takes time. I think visitors to AIMS will see that for themselves.”

The JOSS JT1 was first shown in prototype form at the Melbourne Motor show in 2004. In 2009 JOSS Developments opened its Technical Centre in Melbourne where the production JP1 is well into its development.

“JOSS Developments is in a very good place at the moment. We now have significant investment and a team of technical partners – several of which will have JOSS components on our stand for everyone to see – the envy of the industry,” Mr Thomas said.

The Australian International Motor Show opens at 6pm on Friday 1 July and runs through until Sunday 10 July at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.
