A Russian car that actually looks good

As Russia?s auto sector continues to grow and embrace all facets of the industry, we are starting to see more and more local automotive start-up companies crop up that just a few years ago would have been unheard of. The latest is a small automotive design firm based in Moscow, which has created a new design study for a future sports car called the Revolt.

The company behind the car is E-GO Motors and according to CarDesign the design study could actually enter limited production. E-GO is currently developing a working prototype of the car but are limited by a lack of investment. To keep costs low, one option for E-GO is to borrow a platform from Mitsubishi.

However, many of the car?s features will be unique to it, such as the proposed 19in alloys, touchscreen instrument panels, and a twin-turbo V6 engine with more than 500hp (373kW). Drive will be sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and much of the mechanical package will be co-developed with Russia?s own National Instruments.

Other details include an active air-suspension system, plus 425mm carbon-ceramic front brake rotors and 342mm rear units.

not bad. I'm not sure if I want to like this trend or not, but nowadays, the entire world is delving into one type of culture and design philosophy. In one sense, we're all melding and stuff, but in another, it'd be pretty badass to have a foreign country's culture heavily influence a design.

I mean, how badass would a futuristic cultural Chinese city or Arabic city look like? Don't count Shanghai and Dubai. Those have heavy western influences. hmm, hard to explain and i'm seriously deviating away from the main topic here.


Anyways, that design is not bad at all, and the proposed mechanicals and touchscreens sound pretty interesting.

Not necessarily a bad thing. I was thinking more along the lines of Corvette, but sure.
 
Anyone reminded of the Aussie Fords in the front? GT-R concept style too, back is total Maserati, they shoulda tried making that a little more unique. Hot car though.
