This is South Korea’s first ever supercar, it is made by Oullim Motors and called the Spirra.

The Spirra is fitted with a 2.7L Supercharged DOHC V6 engine, Oullim Motors considered installing a V8 like most supercars but chose the light weight V6 as they wanted to make an ultra light well balanced super car and dropping in a V8 would mean adding extra weight to the front of the car to compensate. Oullim Motors have added a super charger to the V6 giving it V8 output.

There are three versions to choose from;
First the Spirra which comes with a curb weight of 1,320kg and a V6 DOHC engine which produces 175hp/6000rpm. It can hit 132mph (212km/h) and goes 0-60mph (0-100km/h) in 6.8 seconds. This also comes with smaller 18inch wheels.

Second is the Spirra Super, this version has a slightly higher curb weight of 1,340kg and a V6 DOHC supercharged engine. It delivers 380hp/7200rpm,reaches 174mph (280km/h) and goes 0-60mph (0-100km/h) in 4.8 seconds.

Finally the Spirra Turbo which is the more powerful of the three. This model has a curb weight of 1,400kg and is fitted with a V6 DOHC Turbo charged engine. It can muster 450hp/5500rpm, has a max speed of 190mph (305km/h) and reaches 60mph (100km/h) in just 3.8 seconds. The Spirra Super and Turbo both come with 19inch wheels.

The interior has combination of carbon and leather that mixes in harmony. The center console displays a sophisticated touchscreen which gives the driver complete control over the cars systems.

Oullim Motors is producing around 300 of these lightweight supercars a year and they come with a price tag of £80,000 ($130,000).
