Cute but pricey. I'll take a Z06 and a year off in Thailand.

A $100k price tag does wonders on squelching my desire to try to sneak one of these past the DOT/EPA. I'm not sold on the tail treatment, but overall, the car looks pretty sharp. Not $100k sharp, but sharp. If Toyota built it (and brought it to the US) as a ($30k-ish) 4th gen MR2, I'd consider it.

When did ProtoMotors change their name?

And what is the difference between the Spirra and the Spirra S?

So is there a Fiero under there somewhere?

@smalleyxb122: My sentiments exactly.

100k? Come on! I'd rather have a new M3 and some change.

I think the Koreans are being unrealistic with that pricetag I mean the Japanese have been in the US market for alot longer and just now they are treading the sub 100 grand waters with the Lexus LS and the upcoming LF.
personally I would rather spend 100 grand on GT-R and keep the change or a used 911 Carrera S

Im guessing no one knows anything.

@smalleyxb122: My thoughts exactly, MR2 or Supra....

Are we sure it's not supposed to be called the Spilla?

@smalleyxb122: I have no problem with the tail treatment...............on the booth babes!

I wish the car babes would take a break so you could see the vehicle better. Not bad looking, kinda Ford GTish. Price is a little tall for most pockets.

I think the fact that the source is "The Tycho" it's clear this is a toy and toys a figments of pleasure and fantasy... hence the pricetag.. unless there's 3 lifetime supplies of kimchi pots, and kimchi to go with said pots, included for each wheel.

$100,000 !!
Who are they trying to kid?
Hand-Built... bleh!

The car does have a nice rear-end... actually the whole vehicle is rather nice... but it should sell for like 40ish

Another generic

"Koreans Crash Sports Car with Beijing Spirra S"

-fixed

@Duphman2: you only get one of the booth babes

I've been snooping around the web on this thing. Figures are impressive though... 400+hp on sub 2200 lbs body with 0 to 60 of 4.5 seconds... Yeah, I don't know about the 100K price tag, but specs are supercar-ish.

@Duphman2:

From what I hear, Proto Motors was having a very difficult time due to the fact that they couldn't get the green light to sell their card from the gov't. Mainly due to the fact that they went behind the gov't's back and announced their car (Spirra).

Oullim looks like they were involved in funding the Spirra project through Proto (this is my guess since they've been around since 1997 and in their company bio, it states that they are developing Spirra through Proto).

Looks like Oullim completely took over Spirra project though.

Korea to China: Fuck you!

@Duphman2: I was wondering this too.

I assume you play Forza 2.

for people's info the 100k pricetag is only for the S model
After the first year of production they plan on producing different versions that, from what I recall, would be priced around 60k. (I'm not certain but it was significantly lower than 100k)
Ofcourse the cheaper version would not come with the high specs of the S model

you guys have to ask if 100k is too much where they're selling the car. Here in Brazil 100k US does not get you an A6. Sure it's a lot of money for US standards, but maybe not too much for the market desired.

I wouldn't pay a dime over 30k no car should be more then that :-P but we do live in a world that only wants$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
