The Milan Red was a planned super sports car from the Austrian car manufacturer Milan Automotive , which was founded in Leobersdorf in 2017 . Due to ongoing investigations against the managing director Markus Daniel Fux for fraud, the car will not go into series production.
history
The vehicle was presented on July 27, 2018 at Kreuzenstein Castle . A total of 99 copies of the super sports car should be built, which can be extensively individualized. A five-year carefree package with a “flying doctor service” was planned for the Milan Red, which should take effect worldwide. Thanks to an extended telemetry system, which is also used in motorsport , a remote diagnosis request would be sent to the vehicle if necessary and the relevant engineer notified. The vehicle is named after the bird of prey, the red kite .
technology
The monocoque with flanged crash structures and subframes and the vehicle body are made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (KFK). All wheels are individually suspended on double wishbones , the wheel carriers are made of titanium and the wishbones are made of KFK. The car delayed by a carbon-ceramic - brake system from Brembo .
The Milan Red is powered by a 975 kW (1325 hp) 6.2-liter V8 petrol engine with quad-turbo charging from AVL List . The vehicle should accelerate to 100 km / h in 2.47 seconds, the top speed is over 400 km / h.
Fraud and conviction
On February 11, 2019, the owner of the company Markus Daniel Fux was taken into custody. He is accused of cheating several investors out of millions. As a result, the company filed for bankruptcy on March 27, 2019, and closed the following day. After a change of defense attorney , Fux confesses the allegations and is sentenced to four years in prison. The verdict is not yet legally binding. His previous suspended sentence of 18 months has been revoked. In the event of a final conviction, a total sentence of more than five years is due.
To deceive the seven investors, the Fux used the names of celebrities such as Pamela Anderson , Prince Albert of Monaco , Sheikh Talib bin Saqr al-Qasimi and Wolfgang Porsche . This group of people should already have made investment or purchase commitments. He used the name of the entrepreneur Siegfried Wolf, who is very well known in the automotive industry, on a grand scale . He repeatedly stated that Siegfried Wolf would lead the project and make promised investments shortly.
In the years before, Fux was conspicuous with dubious actions around a racing team in Cologne and a made up résumé. In this context, he is said to have convinced people to invest and then cheated. A couple is said to have even lost a house because of him.
After he had to file for bankruptcy with his racing team, he is said to have run another racing team together with Pamela Anderson . With this report and numerous invented quotations, Fux did a lot of PR. When Pamela Anderson found out about this, she informed the BILD newspaper about her management: "It's all lies!" and that she didn't know anything about this racing team. Fux, in turn, stuck to his construct of lies and announced that he had negotiated personally with Pamela Anderson.
The Internet motorsport offer "Motorline.cc", which was discontinued at the end of 2019, then referred to Fux as "Motorsport-Münchhausen".
