i've seen several pics of this car on this board already, but...

here's another one.

when people see the pic. they say it looks kinda mixed- up between nsx and murcielago,
then when they see it in real life they say they have not seen anything like this before.



whatever it looks like,
here are known spec.-

top speed 280 km/ h,
engine options are- 2. 0 turbo, 3. 0 v6 and 4. 6 litre v8 ford engine.
and porche tranny. (wow!)

price varies between $ 4. 5 K to $ 8 K.

wow, I always wondered when all those Korean art students would do something in good in the auto industry!

Car looks great, but I wouldn't so far as to call it an "exotic," maybe a few more years of development, and refinement work, especially on that interior!

Overall, a handsome car, and because of it's midship package, probably great to drive as well... I wanna see the driving results...

The 2.0 Litre Turbo does 0-60 in 6.4 seconds!! (pretty impressive), and the 4.6 litre V8 will get you there in less than 5 seconds, pretty good, and I love the styling!

If it'll fit a SOHC or DOHC 4.6 V8 from Ford, it should be able to easily fit an LS1. hehe. Now, that thing would fly!
