The Victoria-based Australian specialty marque Bolwell has unveiled its latest model -- the Nagari.
The Nagari is a mid-engined, lightweight sports car powered by a 295hp, 3.5 liter Toyota-made V6. With torque maxing out at 345 Nm, this2,020 pound car (a mere 920 kg) packs plenty of boogie in terms of itshorsepower to weight ratio.
Oh, yes, the news here is the pricing, coming in at 198,000Australian Dollars, which translates into about 104,000 euros or132,000 US dollars.
The Nagari was first shown at the Melbourne Motor Show back in Marchof this year. It features a 6-speed, paddle-shifted transmission and is made of "high-impact" composites along with carbon-fibrere inforcements. These lightweight materials were developed in theaerospace sciences to reduce weight on air and space crafts. Now, the reare used in the Automotive tuning world, talk about trickle-down technology.
The Nagari's 0 to 100 km/h time comes in at around 4 seconds.There's talk of a Tesla-like electric version somewhere down the line.Bolwell has started taking orders on the car and the first Nagarishould be at home in someone's driveway by Christmas.
