StarLight Garage suggest this time, yeah I really like this car ... during the last GT6 seasonals I used you and I like driving this car, it has also the looks of a Ferrari.
This car was in GT4 and GT5 so I would like to see that the Oullim Motors Spirra Concept from 2004 gets the PREMIUM label!

The initial conception of a Korean exotic sports car was envisioned by Han-chul Kim in the mid 1990s, then a designer at Ssangyong Motors. Upon the inception of a tangible vision, Kim quit Ssangyong Motors to further pursue the dream of building a sports car and founded Proto Motors with his wife, a researcher at Asia Motor Company.

The original mid-engine, rear wheel drive design featured a Ford-derived V8 engine with an output of 320 hp (239 kW).

This engine was from Ford Mustang SVT Cobra (1999 until 2001). With the engine the Spirra has a claimed 0-62 mph time under 4.0 seconds with an expected top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). A prototype, developed to compete as a competent sports car, was codenamed the PS-II and revealed to the public for the first time at the 2000 Seoul Motor Show.

The PS-II was renamed the Spirra before being debuted at the 2004 Beijing Motor Show. Initial production attempts failed due to insufficient funds and the project was delayed indefinitely.

The production of the Spirra became feasible when Kim coincidentally met Dong-hyuk Park, an advent car enthusiast and successful IT entrepreneur. Park had established Oullim Networks Inc, a firm specializing in internet securities.

He also founded Oullim Motors, a subsidiary of the Oullim conglomerate concentrating on the development, design and innovation of motor vehicles. In 2007, Proto Motors was acquired by Oullim Motors with Kim as chief of development, and under new management the Spirra project was rejuvenated after five years of stagnation.

It's one of really forgotten cars in GT6 and GT5. I Rarely ever see someone mention it or drive it for that matter.

Yeah its a two stage process I think. Step one is that most people forget that it's even in the game, and step two, those that buy it find it very challenging to drive.

But for those that do buy and tweak it, its a very fun car to drive. I use mine quite a lot actually.
