Exclamation A True Budget Sportscar?



The model is actually a revised version of the company's rather bizarrely named Beauty Leopard coupé, and its designers took inspiration from a variety of sources. Alfa Romeo Brera-stylen triple headlamps, two-door Subaru Impreza-like proportions and an Audi-inspired deep grille are all prominent features of the new compact model from the up-and-coming brand.



IF THE price is right this could be an interesting vehicle, especially for the smaler markets like africa,Asia etc.....Hope it goes into production/....

Re: A True Budget Sportscar?

I just keep getting amazed how these cars can look so terrible, I mean, anyone who has even some sense of automotive design could draw a car that looks 1000 times better. So how these designers are able to make cars that look so PASSIONATELY UGLY is beyond me...

Re: A True Budget Sportscar?

We already have true budget sportscars. Try Daihatsu Copen or Toyota MR5.

Re: A True Budget Sportscar?

I'm sorry but this looks awful.

A supercar isn't just about performance, it's about the looks as well!

Re: A True Budget Sportscar?

this looks 2 be a cheaper version of a sports car, it prob wont be avail in the european markets and american, but could be a nice introduction in the african or asian market, over here in South africa we getin killed with car prices from the ameican and german market, for eg a golf Mark1 1.4Litre Carburetor(not even fuel injected) is about $13000, but the korean and chinese market has been bringin in some well priced vehicles, the question is just how much does good looks cost?

a few examples of car pricing in south africa (Rest of africa is even worse)

Cororolla 1.4i old shape - cost me $20 000- no electrnic windows, no a/c
SL 65 AMG - Aroun $245 000-
GOLF 5 GTI - Aroun $40 000-

So if this car is anywhere near the price of a corolla it would sell really well here...!!

A true budget sportscar?

Get an used Corvette or a TVR.
