You youngsters missed great shows like those. And by "great" I mean bad. Also the horror that was Pink Lady and Jeff. This was a primetime NBC show.

They won't be able to tell what kind of car it is with 30 people riding on top.

Looks like I need to look up the definition of "supercar", apparently it doesn't mean what I thought it meant.

FTA: DC Design describes the car as "a stunner in more ways than one and a smile inducer cum big name basher made in India."

That's it. I have to own one.

Right. We'll have Hammond race it in reverse against the Stig in a mini and Captain Slow in a golf cart.

Thought it'd be Tata. They could've named it the Tata Fornow.

Who does own the name?

I wouldn't be surprised if someone sold it to some rich Indian.

Did someone mention Supercar?

They were a Japanese Shoegaze group. As a bonus, they were actually good, and had a cute female lead singer (though skip the first 42 seconds of cheesetacular introduction for the first video).

I have no Supertrain references to offer, but how about this: "Watch out! He's got a broken milk carton!"

Nothing like watching Simon MacCorkindale morph into a cat to entertain you on a Friday night in the 80's.

Take some notes from Mr. Pagani, India. That is how you do a super car.

Upvote for obscure reference to late 70's show. Supertrain was cool. Manimal, not so much.

240 HP =!= super car. If you can buy a Hyundai Sonata with more horsepower, it is NOT a super car.

O RLY?

You can watch the pilot episode on youtube (across 8 millionty clips). I saw half of it and it was absolutely terrible.

At some point we will read where one of these things fell off a very high bridge with 75 people in it. It's India where shiat like this happens.

India gets its first supercar.

and someday they might even get a proper road to drive it on...

Is that a giant windshield wiper mount, in the middle-bottom of the windshield? WTF?

150 top speed? I can buy a volvo hatchback that goes that fast. Does that mean that a c-30 hatchback is a supercar?

240hp is plenty for a car like a Lotus Elise, but anything getting to the size of a 'Vette really needs 400 or more. They don't mention the weight, but it is probably similar to a 'Vette.

So, it's not a supercar.

Kar98

2012-01-07 12:26:47 PM

Is there a chance the car would bend?

Yes, but the Elise isn't a supercar, it's a clubman.

I'm showing the curb weight of this fugly lump as 3436lbs. That's a pretty portly "supercar".
