having a domestic supercar is becoming a common thing, as it’s kinda a for the nations to show off their technology and wealth! Here’s South Korea’s first realistic attempt.

It’s called the Spirra, and like their normal cars there’s a lot of logic going on in it! It’s more of a supercar for the working class, rather than a lavish ride for the high rollers.

As for the looks, the Spirra takes some its cues from British sportscar such as the Noble. It features a tubular spaceframe chassis and a full carbon fiber body for the sake of lightness and extra rigidity. It also has the classic mid-engine rear-wheel-drive layout. But it only comes with a V6 engine.

We should explain, this Hyundai V6 engine can be configured for different levels of output. In base model it only generates 175 hp, with a small turboit can develop 300 hp, put a bigger turbo on it and you get 400, and the top of the range models with twin-turbo system will have 450-500 hp!

IT also comes with a manual 6-speed gearbox and 18 or 19-inch wheels. So while it’s not a real supercar, its ingredients stack up to make a nice sportscar.
