Proto Motors' Spirra offers 0-60 in 4.4 seconds
There's a new sports car on its way from Korea, according to the Dutch publication, Autoweek. Proto Motors' mid-engined Spirra was shown at the Seoul Motor Show and will first appear in Korea only in 2006, though it will be exported later.
It's powered by 4.6-litre 320bhp V8 with some 300lb-ft of torque, propelling it to 60mph in 4.4 seconds. You'll also be able to specify a supercharged version.
Proto also wants to build lower-powered versions, presumably so it can build in greater volumes. The first is a 2.0-litre turbocharged version with 280bhp offering 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds and 131mph top speed. The other will be a supercharged 2.7-litre V6 with 240bhp, and 0-62mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 140mph.

May 28th, 2005 01:21 AM #9Looks like an updated MR2 at the back. The edgy widebody and the front reminds me of an NSX (it seems like half of its body design is derived from the NSX). The headlights looks like a Lambo rip-off.
Koreans making cheap supercars? I hope its parts doesnt fall off to the ground after some rounds of spirited driving. Although that's stereotyping, the Tiburon (Coupe) is said to be a decent performing Korean sports car.

May 28th, 2005 03:11 PM #15Super car? I don't think so. Anything under 450hp is hard to classify as a supercar. Although the car is very tight, many sport sedans nowadays have over 400hp already. Whats nice about this car is it's power to weight ratio which what makes it have nice performance numbers and I do like the direction the Koreans are going. Great job on a great car!

May 28th, 2005 06:23 PM #16Naunahan na nila yung mga Japanese sa paggawa ng Supercar. Pero kung wala lang yung 280hp limit nila don... Anyways, they are still respected naman for bringing out cars such as the Nissan Skyline R34 that was apparently banned on Nurburgring and the NSX.
The Koreans still has a lot way to go to earn a good reputation in the performance arena.
