south korean super car

[ekaich]

named 'spirra'
manufacturer: protomotors(located in south korea)
will be released in U.S this year (faster than in korea)

I think hyundaimotors might buy this company and its car since hyundaimotors is the biggest one in korea and protomotos(you may have seen proto designed tiburon body kit-yes the company which designed it) is small one.

see the specs and compare it with honda NSX.
0->100km(62mph): 4.6 second.
what if this car is turbo charged or NOS powered?

at 2002 seoul motor show

There's already one in Australia!

My younger brother works at Sydney Airport, and saw one come through on a crate two weeks ago. No doubt it is here for hot weather testing.

Every few weeks I get a call off him when he sees something nice to see if I know anything about it.

Last year, we had a V6 Santa Fe come in on an Air Korea freight plane... however due to some stuff-up when unloading the plane, the car was dropped onto the tarmac. They forgot to place a support at the rear of the plane, and when the rolled the car-crate out the front of the plane onto the elevator platform, it caused the plane to overbalance and go nose-up, tail down. As the plane moved, the V6 Santa-Fe on the crate fell onto the tarmac, though thankfully landed pretty much flat.

Although the car looked fine, the hot weather testing of V6 Santa Fe apparently did not go ahead with that one.

looks like a nsx and lamb combo! or maybe even the vw prototype with the v12.

hey not to be mean here but the guy who is telling us about this new car, needs to know his cars first because its not a Honda NSX if you knew cars you would know its an Acura NSX! yes i know honda and acura are very tight companies with eachother but its called and acura not a honda. so please learn your make and models before u tell us about a prototype that u know the United States Government will rip that car down to scrap metal before they allow something like that on the street in America. we all know this. if its not an "American Muscle Car" then it won't be on the streets in America producing that much HP. we should all know this by now. i mean it will be like these exotic car owners, buy them not drive em'. b/c the f*ckin' u.s government won't allow something with those high standards and performance parts on the market. BUT TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH THAT CAR IS FREAKIN' CRAZY MAN, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT HERE IN THE STATES EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS NOT MODIFIED ON BIT BY THE GOVERNMENT. and i would kill to own that car....

Actually, the only country that has acura proucts is America. Every other place in the world has only Honda products. Therefore, it is okay for him to say Honda becuase he lives in Korea. On a side note, I don't think it is a question of whether or not the car will allowed to come to the United States, the question remains whether or not there is a market for the car. The economy here is not in great shape (not bad, but not excellent), so the car may not have any buyers. I estimate the cost of that car around $40,000. This may be a little low, but any higher and Hyundai would have major problems selling them. But, the car seems excelllent. I buy buy one in a heartbeat!!!

Actually, YOU need to learn your cars. The guy posting this is from Korea and in other countries, the NSX wears the Honda badge. Maybe you should do a little research before you try discrediting someones information.

Also, they can import that car no matter what numbers it produces. All they have to do is pass crash testing and emmisions.
