Just last week Australian kit car maker, Bolwell, announced their triumphant return in 2008 with an all-new 2008 Nagari sports car revival by presenting a preliminary design sketch. And now, after three years of design and development work, Bolwell has released first images of the Nagari beginning its final assembly.

The Nagari is intended as an everyday car capable of carrying a set of golf clubs. With a mid-engine layout, carbon fibre composite monocoque body, powered by a quad-cam Toyota 3.5-liter supercharged V6, the Nagari accelerates from 0 – 100 km/h in a blistering 4 seconds. Including design elements reminiscent of the original Nagari from the early 1970's, the latest incarnation includes a unique, custom-designed windscreen and compound-curvature and fully opening door windows.

The Nagari makes its world debut at the Melbourne Motor show is on February 29.

When a company launches a sports car and emphasises that it can carry golf clubs and its unique windscreen ahead of the driving feel or what it can do on the track, you know they probably won't be in this game for long...

of course you being the expert in consumer and financial trends, as well as financial forecasts concerning sports/kitcar companies.

Oh you think that those attributes ARE important USPs for the target market then?

As an aside, I have been in sales and marketing for over 20 years and what I do know is you position what it is you have to meet the needs/interests of your target market. I am left wondering how many people NEED or WANT a unique windscreen design. The original artcle said that Bolwell is returning to the muscle car scene (if it still exists) and then they roll up with a V6, an unusual windscreen and enough boot space for a set of golf clubs - seems a tad odd.

LOL, if you could see me now bristol411s3 (open mouth insert foot), so many people here always talk out of their ass that its hard to tell who actually knows what they are talking about, i have lightly studied economics (and i mean lightly) so i have only some general idea of marketing and such, but my area of expertise in physics, aerodynamics, and structural design. and some of the arguments that i see on this site are so completely far fetched that i have to say something, but i guess it is nice to eat my words from someone who knows what they're talking about

Foxhound, I find it interesting that you made no comment to bristol411s3 regarding his comment about muscle cars still existing, if he knew what he was talking about he would know the V8 V6 muscle car sales are still on the increase in Australia and this is with high petrol pricing. The Bolwell looks great and just gives consumers another option.
