Hi,

Meet the Brazilian Obvio! 828, to be available in the US & Canada late 2006:
http://www.obvio.ind.br/obviona/828.htm

The catch: 1300lbs & 170 HP, for 0-100 in 5.3 seconds. It's 2/3 the size of a Mz3 Hatch, and pricing starts at $14K.

In the looks department I'm about to go get a doctor check my eyesore... but surely some people will find it cool











And my FAVORITE picture (for obvious reasons):

 

my old porsche 924 called....it wants its wheels back.

 

ULGY, why do they want to look like its some childs toy car???

 

0-60 in 5.3.......that'd be fun to drive, but wow...look at it, haha

 

The "Bratz" called, they want their car back.

 

i hope it wont come out in the color

 

I will personally HUNT DOWN AND KILL anyone who buys one of those hideously ugly contraptions....j/k ;( I have to go barf now....

 

i would hate for somebody to run into me if i was ever driving one of those. i wonder if they will be like the magically exploding pintos?

 

^^^Agreed. I don't think that thing would pass any crash tests.

 

is that 0-100 or 0-60? 100kph?

 

I don't know why this is, but I kind of like it.

 

it looks like my geo metro....i would look into getting it (to replace the geo.)

 

Tritec motor 1.6 Liters with 115Hp´s "LOW CONSUMPTION" - of 12.5 Km/Liter (29.40 MPG) in urban circuit and 17,3 Km/Liter (40.69 MPG) in highways - and "HIGH-POWER" 170 and 250 HP´s - with ZF´s CVT transmission

250 hp!!!!


for safety...

Obvio !´s vehicles will shall conform to or exceed the safety standards laid down by the US D.O.T. Requirements for the US and Canada, the European Community Norms 2005 and the Asian countries standards.

Carputer too...



makes me just want one for the oddity factor.

 

Why in the world would you buy that when you could get a motorcycle. . . at that point, there isn't much of a difference in safety. . .

. . . the only advantage would be weather protection. You would have significantly worse acceleration, speed, stability, and handling than a motorcycle.

 

I bet that would OWN all on the AutoX track.

 

I dunno....with a better paint job, different hood and different wheels,
it might look pretty cool. Heck, it's already got Lambo doors!

 

already have the motorcycle...motorcycle does not have a carputer...
motorcycle will do worse in accident.
motorcycle can't seat three...
motorcycle doesn't look as different as this.

 

I'd imagine so, the mini does and this car looks to be a lot smaller than a mini. If they do release it to the states, i might buy one. Its very interesting.

Wouldn't take much at all for this car to be extremely fast, and handle extremely well.

Actually, i think i seriously might buy one. After looking into it, i think its really freaking cool. Yeah, if the paint comes in that scheme only it will need a new paint job ASAP. But think about it, you could do any paint job you want for under $1,000, including stripping the old, paint the new and then 2-3 coats of clear. I mean seriously. The 012 looks sick but they expect prices to be $28,000, i wonder what car company will put it out. Or if they will bring a new car company to america to sell it. Who knows, its got my attention.

Think about it like this: New paint, some better rims, or rims in general, lowered, i/h/e, thats all you need on the "high performance" models to really do some damange on the autox, and be a very, very fun daily.

Small cars are awesome, thats why i bought the box mainly.

Id buy one just so I can go roast some kids w/ that thing lol...they would be like, I just got beat by a matchbox car lol
