Yes. Just like the old MG, Triumph British sports cars of long ago.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maclaren, Ford Mustang look-alike?
NO! I prefer an original design.

I suggest a modular platform where different sports car body types can be fitted:
- minimalist cycle-fendered type (similar to Lotus 7 or Ariel Atom)
- roadster (similar to Mazda Miata) or coupe
- retro (1930s style)
- off road (dune buggy)

I preffer original design sir.. But it must be in category of sports car design. It will stand out like mustang, ferrari, lambo..

Its like you have a sports car with small engine. Not too pass. Not too expensive..

Sample ang total weight ng body ng mustang e 1000kg.. Then ang vios body e 500kg? So even e lipat natin ang weight ng 3 passenger na around 150kg e kapos pa ng 350kg para parang 5 passenger ang dinadala ng engine ng vios?

errr..
it's more like 1600 kg for the mustang, and 1000 kg for the vios.. a difference of 600 kg.
at 70 kg per passenger, it's like asking the current vios to ferry the weight of 9 passengers (or isang dosenang sako ng bigas) in addition to its own body weight, then add several passengers more as its regular pasaheros..
yes, gagalaw kung gagalaw, but it won't accelerate fast enough, which is what the original question was asking. it might not even be strong enough to climb up quiapo bridge.

Sir yung 1600 kg e no engine of mustang? or included.. Kasi kung isasama ang mustang engine sa weight e talagang mabigat yan sa laki ng makina..

Sabihin natin nag dagdag ka lang 10 inch sa weight ng car at 12 inch sa lenght e almost 600 na agad ang binigat ng vios?

shipping weight, i believe. the complete car. i just read it off a car magazine.

I see.. I think double or tripple ang bigat ng engine ng mustang sa vios..

Kung siguro yung body ng mustang e papalitan ng makina ng vios e baka around 1200kg lang yan.. To the original 1600kg complete mustang with engine..
Sabihin na natin ang original weight ng vios e 1100kg.. So almost 100kg lang ang na dagdag.. Kasi parang nag add lang naman tayo ng 10inch sa lapat at 12inch sa haba..

Wag po sana kayong makulitan sa akin.. Who knows may mag invest sa idea ko na talyer na siya ang gagawa ng sports car na may small engine.. Then who knows may isang ka tsikot na mag invest ng talent niya sa pag dedesign ng sports car para gawin. May mag share ng quality engine at paint..

Siguro naman lahat tayo pangarap magkaroon ng sports car.. Sport car na e ddrive everyday. Hindi nga lang matulin pero di hamak naman na mas mura, mas mura sa gas and maintenance..

Naalala ko tuloy kapitbahay namin dati na naka Ford Expedition pero Isuzu ang makina.

I have vision of good market on creating a sports car type of car like ferrari, lambo, but on small engine.. Yes, its not too fast as original but you will get the looks, comfort of sports car owner with less cost on maintenance and gas..

Do you want to own a wide sports car on minimal cost on the unit and maintenance..

Sino kaya ang kasa or nag aasemble ng car ang may same vision sa akin. who know pumatok ito at makita mo sa philippines ang mga sports car.

So what you essentially want is a kit car (custom/replica body+donor car). There are companies who do that (international and local). One example locally is Rapid 7. They fabricate kits (space frame chassis and fiberglass/aluminum body) to make your own Lotus 7 replica and now are prototyping a exo-frame Atom. Incidentally Lotus (and a few sport car manufacturers) itself started out as a kit car maker.
