Turkish Onuk Sazan is like Ferrari Dino, only without pedigree
What makes an Onuk Kazan? Well, in base trim you’re apparently talking about a 2,000-pound rear-wheel drive sportster that’s powered by a turbocharged Nissan V V6 that’s good for about 450 horsepower. Sounds great to us.
However, what if for a little weight penalty you could step up to General Motors’ LS7? That would net you about 512 hp, 480 lb-ft of twist and just 2,200 pounds of vehicle to move around. Now we’re talking. Okay, but how much? This is the bad news: €200,000, or about $300,000. That seems radically high to us, but we’re not up on our Turkish financial analysis.
Need a reason to support Turkey’s bid to become part of the European Union? Look no further than the Onuk Sazan, a brand-new sports car that depending on the engine might just slide its way into supercar territory. The Sazan was designed and built by a certain Dr. Onuk, who lost his son Kaan in a car accident. Sazan is a nickname for Kaan. Hence, the Onuk Sazan. Similar to Enzo and Dino Ferrari –only, well… you know.
