Oullim Motors, no one heard of it (unless someone's playing Gran Turismo 5) but they were a small Korean company that brought you the Proto Spirra, which is Korea's only supercar. Yeah, anyone remember that car, right? Anyway, word from the public is that Oullim Motors has just revealed a new model that in particular it is Korea's answer to the Maserati Quattroporte, Porsche Panamera, or Aston Martin Rapide. Oullim Motors called it the
Bengari and the phrase goes "
A Whole New Definition of Exquisite Sedan by SPIRRA"

At first glance, it may look like the Spirra supercar but right until you'll notice that the side view for the Bengari is a bid odd and it feels like a half-Alfa, half-Saab limo that James May made for the Top Gear limousine challenge, well you know, the one that you can drive it on its front and you can drive it on its back. Confusing eh? Looks weird for Korean's four-door supercar right until the door opens like a Rolls-Royce...

Looks weird on the outside especially for the Rolls-Royce-esque doors but on the inside...

...uh nope. Looks luxurious but it isn't. Those rear seats kinda look like it came from a private jet while the dashboard kinda looks like the facelifted Hyundai Genesis Coupe. I wonder how did the Koreans made up with this car that it claims to be a contender against the four-dour supercars I've mentioned earlier?
Trim levels for the Bengari are MS, MN, GS, GN, DS, and DN. The DN model served as the entry level version of the Bengari while the MS is the top of the line model. The DS and the DN model weighs about 1750kg while the GN and GS model weighs about 1810kg and the MS and MN model weighs about 1795kg.
The DS and DN model are fitted with a 2.7 DELTA engine bolted to a 5-speed automatic transmission while the GN and GS model are fitted with a 3.3 GDi engine mated to a 6-speed automatic and the MS and MN model comes with a 3.5 MPi engine and a 6-speed automatic. It is said that the entry level DN with the 2.7 DELTA engine produces about a shameful 175PS of power (which is less powerful) while the top of the line MS model with the 3.5 MPi engine produces about a mind-boggling 500PS of power! 500PS of power for a Korean-made car!
Prices start at 132,000,000 up to 195,000,000 Won and seems to be that they were about as expensive as a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley for a car made in Korea...
