Melling Hellcat supercar (2007): first official pictures

By James Mullan First Official Pictures 01 February 2007 09:35 Bat out of hell: the Melling Hellcat Reading this on your computer screen almost certainly means that you’re sitting down.

But unlike most bicycle carrying systems that bolt the bikes to the back of the car, BMW’s system puts the bikes under cover in the back on built in, retractable carriers.
