Now THAT's WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!! eek.gif eek.gif If the Tuscani's looked like that all the time, right off the floor, and STILL kept their present price..I think I would have to say bye-bye to the Low Shark, and get myself a nice new Hyundai Sports Car!

I would not call it a G/Tuscani any more. The modifications are so extensive as to make it a seperate car. Notice no back seat/no back hatch. New indent on the sides of the body, different front fender lines....etc..etc..

I sent the link to Boogyman. Here is what he said.
So I guess it is NOT a modified Tuscani.

That is actually a new car that Proto will be making starting 2002. They'll start exporting to Asia in 2002 and sell in Korea from 2003. It's a limited run for about 200 a year, and has a midship engine... V6, 3 liter engine. Cost will be about US$45000

They should've used more powerful engine to that car. Although design looks good, the car lacks its own characteristic. In fact, it looks similar to car that I cannot remember its name right now. Anyway, I read the article and it doesn't mention anything about who is producing/developing the car. Any idea on this?

OH Ok,... cuz the only thing I could kinda see it resembling the GK / Tuscani was the side mirrors, but the XG also has those type of mirrors.
I thought you might of meant something like how the 1st gen Tibs WAS a HCD1 or something like that

Boogyman CAN get the Proto Kits for the first gen Tibbies..but they are more expensive than the Cuda kit, and they require some serious suspension changes to make the wheels fit the wheel wells right, as it is a WIDE body kit. If I remember right, Boogman last quoted about $3700 and that did NOT include shipping, or the suspension mods...
