The Orca C 113 was a super sports car . The project was started in 1987 by Orca Engineering from Schaan in Liechtenstein under the direction of René Beck. In 2001 the first prototype of the Orca was approved for road use. After the first presentations at automobile fairs such as the Geneva Motor Show , a small series was decided, but this was delayed due to a lack of investors. Series production began later. Orca Sports Cars from Breitenbach SO from Switzerland under the same management continued production in 2005.

construction
The Orca was designed radically according to sporting standards. One of the goals was to build a super sports car that was easy to drive due to its low weight. Due to its height and compact design, the center of gravity of the car was pleasantly low. The Orca C 113 had a body made of carbon and kevlar that weighed only about 35 kg. The flat profile of the body enabled efficient aerodynamics. The chassis, made of magnesium, titanium and aluminum, offered a high level of safety and rigidity despite its low weight of around 200 kg.
The car's 4.2-liter V8 engine came from the Audi S6 and was fundamentally revised by the Audi tuner MTM - Motoren Technik Mayer . The engine, charged with the help of two turbochargers and an intercooler, developed 478 kW (650 hp) at 5400 revolutions per minute. The maximum torque of 900 Nm was at 4200 revolutions per minute. The power of the car was passed on to the rear wheels via a semi-sequential 7-speed gearbox and a limited-slip differential.
Model name
The company itself wrote the model name C 113 expressly with spaces . The space is often missing in English sources.
successor
The successor was the Beck LM 800 from Beck Engineering & Composits from Muri near Bern in Switzerland, also under the direction of René Beck. However, only two prototypes were made there.
