There's one running around here, but badged as as Altima....Mr. Dazzle wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 10:55 am GTRs are bloody massive! They look fairly 2 door sports car small in photos, but when you see 'em in real life they're huge.
Just remember that they're built in the former Yugo factory at Zastava... by the same workforce...Rockburner wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 8:41 am Fiat 500. IIRC they come with twin or triple engines (and a 4-pot).
Have you done an engine transplant from a Porsche then?The Martian wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 4:55 pm BMW 135i
I have one, it's small ish without being a bean can, comes with two or four doors and a lovely flat six engine.
Hot hatch / RWD proper drivers car / practical family car all in one. I bought one on a whim a few years ago not expecting to keep it (I need an estate car really) but it grew on me so I had it lightly breathed on and it's absolutely stonking.. when I picked up my bike I couldn't keep up with it with the Mrs driving it
They're built in Poland where Fiat have been building since 1992.ZRX61 wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 3:32 pmJust remember that they're built in the former Yugo factory at Zastava... by the same workforce...Rockburner wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 8:41 am Fiat 500.

No, they have a 3 litre straight six with a twin scroll turbo (or proper twin turbo if you get one pre 2012).Mr. Dazzle wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 5:29 pmHave you done an engine transplant from a Porsche then?The Martian wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 4:55 pm BMW 135i

You said 'flat' six, which most people think of as a six pot boxer engine, not a 'straight' six :pThe Martian wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 7:59 pmNo, they have a 3 litre straight six with a twin scroll turbo (or proper twin turbo if you get one pre 2012).Mr. Dazzle wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 5:29 pmHave you done an engine transplant from a Porsche then?The Martian wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 4:55 pm BMW 135i

Of course I realised that after I replied, it doesn't take many brain cells to work out I meant straight six though (but the mention of Porsche in the OP must have dug in to my subconscious).KungFooBob wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 8:00 pmYou said 'flat' six, which most people think of as a six pot boxer engine, not a 'straight' six :pThe Martian wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 7:59 pmNo, they have a 3 litre straight six with a twin scroll turbo (or proper twin turbo if you get one pre 2012).
I know someone who has a road legal one.KungFooBob wrote: Tue Aug 12, 2025 11:34 am I reckon he needs a 6R4, not sure if he'll get a road legal one in budget.
Edit:
Oh yeah, there's no rear seats, someone put the engine there!
In reviews of my i4 they often state how much like a normal car it is compared to other EVs. The heater controls are still touch screen, but then there were in my ICE Volvo too.fingerpuk wrote: Thu Aug 14, 2025 8:00 am Or…. Polestar 2.
But. The interior of all electric cars is utter wank. Total shit. I want to have buttons and feel cocooned not like I’m in an Apple Store.
