GT4: A hidden gem

[The DJ 27]

Started playing GT4 again recently, and, whilst mucking about and spending a load of cash last night, discovered one of the best handling cars in the game, in a rather unlikely place.

Have a look under a Korea, at the Proto Motors Sirra 4.6 V8. Not a bad looking car, pretty cheap, tuneable to about 530bhp, light and handles brilliantly with a bit of setup work. Makes a lovely noise with a sports or semi-race exhaust as well

Yup, I've been driving an orange one for a while The handling is quite fun!

Proto Motors, a design and engineering consultancy, made the daring proposal for Korea's first domestic supercar. The company has a respected CV of contracts for the major Korean car makers, and has also developed limousines for the president, but the mid-engined Spirra is its first complete car. And an impressive machine it is too, if not entirely homegrown: featuring the 320bhp 4.6-litre Ford Mustang V8, a six-speed Getrag gearbox and an aluminium spaceframe structure giving a total weight of just 1090kg, it should be a strong performer - Proto is claiming 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 173mph. The Spirra is a compact two-seater, at just 4317mm long and 1928mm wide. Its aggressive styling looks good from most angles, with scissor-style upward-opening doors and large air scoops behind the doors, and a front splitter and rear venturi spoiler to help downforce at speed. Proto is aiming for full production and a target price of 100m Korean won ($100,000). Expect exports to the US, too, if not Europe as well; smaller-engined versions may follow.

Nice looking car... Too skittish though and the back end is too light... too much high speed oversteer - very frustrating - just pushed one round the ring in 7.41

I did a bit of setup work on it. It's far, far too high and soft on the original setup. Mine's ok now, just drift's nicely in quick corners
