Everyone’s favorite mid-engined Australian super car has entered the final stages of development with Bolwell finally beginning to take deposits on the $132,000 car. The Bolwell Nagari drops a 3.5-liter Toyota V6 into a composite chassis, mating the 295 HP engine to a 6-speed paddle-shifter. At just 2,020 Lbs, that should be more than enough to propel the Nagari to 60 in around four seconds, which we hear is fast enough to outrun saltwater crocodiles. More »

Despite its Japanese-sounding name, the Nagari is the work of the Australian Bolwell Car Company. The company has a history of building small quantities of sports cars going back to the 1970's and is hoping to recreate the magic with this new Bolwell Nagari. In addition to the borrows-from-here, borrows-from-there looks, the mid-engined sports car should be powered by a supercharged version of Toyota's 2GR-FE 3.5-litre V6.

One of the lesser-known Australian brands is Bolwell, which got its start in the 1960's building kit cars and later moved on to build a small number of production models called the Nagari (full history from the Bolwell Car Club). Powered by various Holden and Ford engines, the vehicles tended to take the prevailing design trends of the day and reproduce them &mdash with mixed results. It's been almost 30 years since their last full model, but they plan to return with a new Nagari powered by a supercharged 3.5-liter Toyota V6 good for 0-62 mph in four seconds. The new model is set to debut at the Melbourne Motor Show next year. Press release below the jump: More »
