}}The '''Mega Track''' is a supercar manufactured by the French automobile manufacturer [[Aixam]] between 1992 and 2000. Only five or six examples were built during this time.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-13|author=Roland Scharf|date=2022-05-16|language=de|title=Helden auf Rädern: Mega Track|url=https://www.motorline.cc/classic/2022/Helden-auf-Rädern-Mega-Track-Zu-groß-für-diese-Welt-255604.html|website=motorline.cc}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
== Overview ==
The concept of the Mega Track was conceived by Georges Blain, the boss of Aixam. At that time, the company specialized in cars that could be driven without a license (so-called light vehicles), but they wanted to diversify, and for this purpose founded the Mega brand, under which Blain wanted to build a super sports car. The project from which the Track emerged began in 1990. The Mega Track was presented at the [[Paris Motor Show]] in 1992.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-13|date=2020-10-24|language=fr|title=Automobile.

=== Specifications ===
The Mega Track was powered by a 6.0 liter [[M120 engine|M120]] V12 petrol engine from the [[Mercedes-Benz W140|Mercedes-Benz S600]], with an output of {{Convert|394|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{Convert|570|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-13|language=fr|title=Compétition voiture Aixam Mega {{!}} Aixam Mega Track - Aixam|url=https://www.aixam.com/fr/l-esprit-aixam/histoire/mega-by-aixam|website=aixam.com}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> Originally, the Track was planned to be four-wheel drive instead of rear-wheel drive, but this was not implemented due to its complexity.
The Mega Track was a sports car that was also intended to be suitable for off-road use, which is why it had height-adjustable suspension. The vehicle can gain up to {{Convert|34|cm|0|abbr=on}} of ground clearance in the highest suspension setting. The Mega Track also had large 20-inch tires (285/55 ZR20 at the front and 325/50 ZR20 at the rear), specifically manufactured by [[Michelin]] just for this model.<ref name=":03">{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-13|author=Roland Scharf|date=2022-05-16|language=de|title=Helden auf Rädern: Mega Track|url=https://www.motorline.cc/classic/2022/Helden-auf-Rädern-Mega-Track-Zu-groß-für-diese-Welt-255604.html|website=motorline.cc}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> The Mega Track's fuel tank holds 110 liters.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-13|language=fr|title=Fiche technique Mega Track|url=https://www.autotitre.com/fiche-technique/Mega/Track|website=autotitre.com}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref> The taillights of the Mega Track come from the [[Audi Coupé#Coupé B3|Audi Coupé (B3)]].<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-30|author=Nicholas Pillay|date=2022-07-18|language=en|title=10 Things Gearheads Forgot About The Aixam Mega Track|url=https://www.hotcars.com/things-gearheads-forgot-about-aixam-mega-track/|website=hotcars.com}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
The Mega Track accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.4 seconds and the top speed is electronically limited to {{Convert|250|km/h|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name=":02">{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-13|author=Roland Scharf|date=2022-05-16|language=de|title=Helden auf Rädern: Mega Track|url=https://www.motorline.cc/classic/2022/Helden-auf-Rädern-Mega-Track-Zu-groß-für-diese-Welt-255604.html|website=motorline.cc}}<!-- auto-translated from German by Module:CS1 translator --></ref>
=== Production ===
Each vehicle was handcrafted in the factory in Aix-les-Bains. In 1992, the price of the Mega Track was 1.7 million francs (excluding taxes). Partly because of this price, the Track was a commercial failure. Apparently only five to six examples were sold worldwide, two of which are now in the Aixam Group headquarters.<ref name=":12">{{cite web|access-date=2023-01-13|date=2020-10-24|language=fr|title=Automobile.
