First Korean home-made Super-car...
The Spirra (Tiger...)
Already on sale (in Europe)... and in Auto Shows... >USD 100k...

...Han-Chul Kim is the man behind first South Korean super-car, the Spirra.
Hand-built by Oullim Motors it features a modified mid-positioned Hyundai V8 that packs 500 horsepower, which is good enough to hit 60 mph in 3.7 seconds.
Not bad for a hand-built super-car that costs around $100,000.
The Spirra looks to have a bright future ahead as Dutch car dealer has reportedly already ordered 145 cars. Surely it is not as exotic as Ferrari or Lamborghini, but lets give Koreans some time, after all it is their first super-car...

Maybe this is old news...

Kia Sportage is already on South Afrika Driving Experience recently...
So... we will be expecting the car here soon...
If some don't like the Tucson, maybe Sportage can change their mind...

Sharing images...



Look at those LED eyelid lights like the one on Audi A4... damn nice...

Yes, overall the Kia sportage looks really more fierce and handsome, so "lansi" than hyundai...
btw, don't think it should be here so soon as kia recently just launch the facelifted sportage..

I think sorento should come in first as it already in singapore.. but sorento is also handsome, but not so lansi...look..
which is a minus point..

Faaaarrrrkkkk! I want!!!!! Dayum, what I like about the K5/Optima is it compels me to want one in my garage. These new pics are really superb.
There are no lousy cars. Only better cars.

Next time some stupid politician tries to justify Proton's existence, I'll tell them to shut the f*** up and show them these Kia Optima/K5 pics.

Simply desirable!

Naza, please bring it in at RM115k for the 2.0l and RM135k for the 2.4l. I promise I will buy at that price even if it comes with a Naza badge smile_tongue.gif
