Face All New KIA Rio 2017


KingOfAutomotiveNews - Currently there is no special description of what it sportscar, supercar, even hypercar. Several mentioned that the sportscar has a price below or around 100,000 US $, supercar was on top, then hypercar is described as a car with a power close to 1,000 horsepower or more and also has a price close to or more than a million dollars. Performance? Well, if you talk about that there are no specific standards, yet the GT-R has the performance that can not be taken lightly by hypercar millions of dollars if pitted at the Circuit. I would agree if the categories are fast cars have made the price of, let's fast cars, expensive fast cars and fast cars very expensive, maybe it is better suited to describe the facts on the ground.

Okay, so what's the purpose of all the above article? Let's go back to Nissan, the Nissan GT-R that has outstanding performance toned always categorized Sportscar by Nissan, which in our opinion is less prestigious. Go into any Nissan website, they would classify the Nissan GT-R in the category of the 370Z sports car together. While Honda? Well, because from the beginning has been to classify this car into a supercar, yes this supercar, much faster than the GT-R? Not necessarily.


No one if Honda NSX give the price is more expensive than the GT-R, in America an Acura priced starting from US $ 156,000 or US $ 47,000 more expensive than the Nissan GT-R base models in the US. Technologically, yes obviously dong NSX is superior, we compare a fast car that was launched in 2007 and 2016, although the Nissan GT-R recently undergone a facelift this year, still bases its design still from the year 2007, so when talking about price-to-value based technology, it is only fair that the Acura NSX US $ 47,000 more expensive than the Nissan GT-R.
 
But in Japan, we have to pay more than 2 pieces Nissan GT-R spec highest for a Honda NSX, what? a Honda NSX model base price of 23.7 million yen, and if you want to buy with color Valenda Red Pearl, you have to add 620 thousand yen. GT-R? Just 9.9 million to 11.8 million yen doang, either see the price NSX makes me want to add the word "doang" on the price of the GT-R.

 
Reason Honda NSX appreciate too expensive in Japan is quite reasonable because the car is imported from America, Honda NSX remains in the category of imported cars though Honda is a Japanese brand. Yes, this car made in America anyway, not like the days of Japan-made Honda NSX legacy develop together Ayrton Senna and Pininfarina, this time he blooded American, even more American than the Ford Mustang that had intervened Ford of Europe.

 
While the GT-R? He was still bleeding Tochigi, Japan, so do not be surprised if the price is reasonable if we assess the price to value. But yes still, Nissan GT-R already overdo labeling sportscar on this car, while Honda labeling supercar on NSX, hmm ... about the price does get synchronized like buying a Ferrari or Lamborghini in Japan, especially for Japanese people who want to be seen using a supercar but nationalist.

 
With higher prices, of course, Honda has successfully made the owner of the GT-R into mediocrity when compared with the owner NSX. Suppose that when the two cars parked next door in Japan, then there is a carspotter who love to death by car exceeds his own girlfriend (even usually do not have a boyfriend), of course Honda NSX is a star. Because after all, the image owner NSX in Japan certainly richer than the owner of the Nissan GT-R, but that he was also patient, because if you ordered Honda NSX now in Japan, you have to wait for the fastest in February 2017. Try, is not that the characteristics of ideal man, what woman does not want a husband rich and impatient?
