Ricer mobile!

[corvette97]

actually, looks pretty nice for me, they are unlikely to be made, but the design is neat, looks cool, has a lil bit of a modena, nsx and gallardo, i can barely read the specs.


the only yhing i understand...

0-60: 3.4 sec
top speed: 220 KM/H????

Looks very cool...very cool indeed...

[Fleischmann]

Info:
-Turbocharged 2 liter delivering 200hp
-5 speed manual or 6 speed sequential gearbox
-0-100km/h = 6.4s
-max speed = 225km/h
-lightweight body made of Carbon fibre and pressed steel

The top speed is a bit dissapointing, but I just love the design. Reminds me of an NSX.

[Fleischmann]

hmmm...I just realised that those were the specs for the 2.0 litre version. You can also get a 3 litre V6 (182 bhp) and a 4.6 V8 (320bhp). With the strongest engine it goes 0-100 in 4.6 secs and does 280 km/h. That's better !!

3.4 :lol:

Not bad...

[sentra_dude]

Nice, really nice. It has strong influences from the NSX and Gallardo, but it has some of it's own as well. The performance with the V8 isn't too shabby either. :)

The 0-60 is 6.4, not 3.4 as Fleischmann clairifed above.

[sentra_dude]

The first vid had some sound problems for me, but it was still pretty cool. Thanx for the links.

erm links arent working for me...i think we may have killed the korean server :twisted:

:oops: you might be right but it was only posted a few hours back so maybe they just have moved the vids. I can allways upload them in a few days to my webspace or to the video vault

EDIT: they work fine for me, I just had to wait a bit. The server probably doesn't cope with to many people downloading at the same time

"erm links arent working for me...i think we may have killed the korean server"

Probably the same thing you'd do to the car in a few hours. Korean and super car are oxy morons in my personal opinion.

[Chaos in 1983!]

looks a lot like the Gallardo...but overall it looks kinda nice

[racer_f50]

a Korean guy released one of these for Racer a while back, before the Gallardo came out, so I'm doubting these guys had any design stealing from Lambo.

but i do kinda like the looks, despite it being kinda ricey.

[smicah]

What about PRICE? I haven't found any quotes. I think it's success will depend on whether it costs more like a Gallardo or a Hyundai(also Korean) get it. HA. :roll:

[dylan99]

It's a joke wright I don't like one bit of this car it looks kile any other asian car.

[corvette97]

asia has done it again, there u can see how asians have taken a lot from a small engine, really cool car, i think if they ever produced this car is gonna be overpriced :cry: , but anyway is a great car

[smicah]

It's a nice car (meaning that there are a lot worse cars). I don't think that I'll buy one, but I'm not going to poop on it either.

Do you think that Korea could build a REAL competitive exotic or race-only car?

[corvette97]

but I'm not going to poop on it either.

lol lol lol lol lol you made me laugh this time bro, thats so funny

[stradale]

It looks terrible and by the looks of the specs you can't call it a supercar either.

That 4.6 V8 with 320 BHP, sounds like it is the Ford DOHC engine from the 1999-2001 Mustang Cobra

[astonmartinandy]

I really don't see who is going to buy one of those outside of Korea!!

[FoxFour]

The styling looks kind of dated even now.

[AlienDB7]

The question remains, will the car survive more than a week of hard driving. But if it's cheap, maybe the koreans will soon be known as the pioneer of "disposable supercars". :mrgreen: Everything is disposable nowadays.

[smicah]

It may not be sooo bad. I once got my sister's Hyundai Accent up to 166kph. It took a long time but the car was only $8000 new and it still runs (like crap).

[HeilSvenska]

It will probably go to production considering that it's from an independent company. Also the look is coincidental because the overall design of the spirra was already developed way before the Gallardo.

[ben]

this car to me looks like a lambo and a ferrari put in one

[DeMoN]

nice looking thing. Vids links work again.

[hemi_fan]

Is korea under the same laws as China & Japan? (ie. the 280hp cap on ANYTHING) If so that V8 would be totally out of the question.

[gottacatchup]

its just a copy of an mr2 turbo

They have V8s coming out of Japan with more power than that the Nissan Titan has a 305 hp V8
