At present, this concept car has been forgotten by most people, but then again, do you still remember Daewoo? Maybe you have completely forgotten this brand. Daewoo motor was founded in 1967. At its peak, it was the second largest car company in Korea. Later, due to poor management, it was officially declared bankrupt in 2000.
Everything has to start from scratch. 1937, Korea machinery manufacturing company was established, 1962, and it was renamed as New Nara Automobile. Its main business is to produce and sell Nissan Bluebird PL3 10. 1965 was renamed as the cooperation between Xinjin Automobile and Toyota. Until 1972, Toyota withdrew, and Xinjin changed hands again to produce Horton Torana and Chevrolet 1700, and changed its name to Han Shi Automobile on 1976. Due to the poor management of Americans, Han Shi Automobile lost $84.5 billion in 1982, and handed over the management right to Daewoo Group in 1983, and daewoo motor was officially born.
At first, Daewoo only did some OEM business. 199 1 introduced Suzuki's Alto, Carry Micro-Surface and Carry minivan, and renamed them Tico, Damace and Labo respectively to expand the Korean mini-car market.
1994, Daewoo officially introduced Honda Legend to start OEM production, and changed its name to Acadia to inherit Royale. Daewoo uses a general platform to manufacture cars, and borrows Japanese car models to produce cars by OEM. It has been operating until 1996. In order to catch up with Hyundai and Kia, Daewoo, as a large automobile manufacturer, also hopes to develop its own unique cars.
After hard work, Daewoo launched Daewoo Lanos at 1997. The appearance of the car was designed by Giorgetto, a famous Italian design company, and Lanos was the first independent model of Daewoo. 1998 introduced a global car, Daewoo Matiz mini-car, which was especially popular with the elderly in the British market. The design inspiration of Chery QQ came from this car. Daewoo Leganza is a luxury car launched after Daewoo and the predecessor of China Chevrolet Cheng Jing.
1997, the Asian financial turmoil, at this time Daewoo ventured to borrow money from kookmin bank and invested heavily in the acquisition of South Korean Ssangyong Motor. With the technical foundation of the cooperation between Ssangyong Motor and Mercedes-Benz, Daewoo successfully launched such Ssangyong SUVs as Korando, Masso and Honker with the logo of Daewoo from 1999 to 2002.
Like most other cars in Daewoo, the Daewoo Bucrane sports car was designed by the famous design company Giorgetto. This car looks a bit like BMW M 1 or Fiat Pto. The body frame of this car comes from Daewoo Arcadia (1994- 1999), which is essentially the second generation Honda Legend.
The Italian design company said that the design of this car was inspired by the classic sports car of the 1960s. It has a long front and a full back. Excitedly, Daewoo Bucrane also used the company's newly designed company badge logo and front air intake grille.
It is equipped with a 3.2-liter V6 engine with a maximum power of 240? Horsepower, matching four-speed automatic gearbox, front-wheel drive. Anyway, I don't know if it's because of the age. At present, we can't find any performance data information about this car. It is said that the whole car is made of carbon fiber, but the weight of the whole car is about 1, 400 kg. After reading these parameters, I feel that its performance should be quite mediocre.
I think the best part is the door of this car. Daewoo used the half scissors door for the first time. Unlike Lamborghini, doors open and close in an unusual way. When you want to open the door, you need to lift the window first. After the window rises from the roof, you can see the chain connecting the door and the body. It's all complicated. In addition, the rising part of the roof can be removed, and the vehicle can be turned into a semi-open state.
The leather chair of this sports car still looks quite comfortable, and the second row in the back row also has a good space performance, but getting on and off is very embarrassing. Besides, as far as we know, the window of this car doesn't seem to open.
However, this is a Daewoo after all. Even if it is produced, imagine, will you buy one? If it is put into production, I think its preservation rate will be quite bad, but if you don't like Daewoo, you can consider something else, Maserati 3200? GT, also designed in Italy, went on sale at 1998. If you compare the two cars carefully, you will find that there are great similarities between them.
The bankrupt Daewoo brand was sold to GM in 200 1 year. All Daewoo sold in Europe in 2005 were renamed Chevrolet. Daewoo motor's old factory in South Korea was renamed Korea General Motors, and it is hard to find the trace of this lost brand in South Korea.
Daewoo Group used to be a giant in South Korea, producing televisions, ships, buses and chain resorts. It is reported that during the period from1June 1997 to August 1999, Daewoo Chairman Jin Yuzhong raised more than 20 billion US dollars in loans and transferred them to his secret account in the UK. On the eve of bankruptcy, Jin Yuzhong left Korea on business. Jin Yuzhong, 69, returned to China in 2006. The Korean court sentenced him to 10 years in prison for financial fraud and misappropriation of public funds, ordered him to return about $22 billion in assets, and imposed a fine of about 1600 dollars. In 2065,438+09,65,438+02, Jin Yuzhong died at the age of 83.
