Is there any kit car that looks as slick as the K1 Attack

[Averroes]

Sadly you cant get hold of the K1 attack anymore so was wondering whether there is anything else that looks as slick and supercar like. That was one kit car to die for and am wondering what else is around

[Averroes]

Hi guys thanks for the replies. Lots of people say that there are lots nicer but i havent seen one as of yet. Im talking about modern super car looks,

Ive seen one which seems ok ish but look a little ugly from certain angles which is the GTM.

The murtaya is another which is ok but not my cup of tea, what others can you guys think of which I can build for K1 type money.

From what ive heard between 10-14k you could have built a top notch k1 road ready, likewise what can i build similarly for that money that looks the part

cheers

[Averroes]

Hmm ive seen this before, doesnt look all that to be honest. Another example similar to the GTM, looks deformed at certain angles and doesnt quite compete against the K1 Attack in looks

O i so hope someone finds a blinder of a kit for me

[Averroes]

It had such beautiful looks, im so cheesed its no longer available to buy

[Averroes]

V8OWNER, thanks for the link mate. I must say i do have some sort of soft spot for the car but it just doesnt quite tick all the boxes lol

Regarding second hand K1 kits or importers getting them in, over the past year ive come across a few but they have been incomplete i.e. missing vital factory parts or part built which i dont want or alternatively specialist importers who claimed they could get me a complete right hand kit but at extortionate prices.

So in essence im a little screwed with the K1, either i have to let go of a lot more cash or i dont get a proper kit. Hence the reason i finally give up and started looking around for some alternative kits.

I was so fed up that i ended up buying a TVR Cerbera to fulfil that kit car buzz

[Averroes]

Ferg, I understand what your saying but its just the idea of building the car yourself and then for it to look supercar like at the same time is just such a great feeling. The TVR although feels like a very powerful kit car, you cant really buy it in a kit and get the buzz out of building it.

The Libra, I did look at but it seems too much like a little bubble lol. I dont know why but it doesnt seem appealing to me.

I dont know how well the slovaks think they are going to do buy selling turnkey versions of the K1 but personally i think its a bad idea and they should have concentrated on more kits throughout the world, improving their customer service. Their kits would have flown off the shelf if they were marketed right and they would have sold more kits compared to a single turnkey model

Currently, all the cars they are apparently building are pre ordered but it takes longer to get one ready compared to the kits.

Sadly I've been involved with the kitcar industry long enough to have seen plenty of cars like the Attack.
Did you see the one they showed at the UK shows? The finish was nowhere NEAR good enough to attract enough buyers.
Successful kitcar companies need to work a lot harder than just nice pictures and empty promises.
That's what I think anyway.
I'm slightly confused as to why you looked at the Libra. It's a lightweight practical sportscar, not a supercar.

Ferg, the reason i looked at the Libra was when a friend of mine who used to build Caterhams over at Rippon told me to look at them. I had no clue what they were or looked like but as said, it was so appealing to me

V8, i understand where your coming from but do remember its not supercar performance im really after, its the super car looks as mentioned above.

I also remember the purple K1, it was very nice indeed although i had seen photos of it only.

Being able to find a kit designed with such supercar "looks" is very hard as i have realised over the last 1.5-2 years or maybe ive been looking in the wrong places

There are loads of replica Lambo kits etc but I dont want to build a replica, I want to build something original. Have been thinking of the Aero GT, but believe it will cost a lot of money to get on the road

[Averroes]

Damn i thought you had a cracker for me then until i seen the rear

Also it resembles the lambourghini Diablo a little for some reason.

The 5exi i totally dont like however a lot of people talk good about them and the Shelsley looks too much like a Murtaya, i know what id have between the two, the Murtaya especially since I know a lot about Impreza engines after owning 5

So i guess we got close with the veleno, lets see if there are any more

[Averroes]

Ive just seen a Pilgrim Minotaur, looked pretty appealing from the pictures ive seen

anyone had any experience with these and how much do you think it would set me back for a complete kit i.e. including donor parts etc also

your in a whole different place to the K1 now.

IMHO its abit of a styling mess.. although different I agree..
anyway from their website, Package A, B, C, D, E, and F = £52,680.00.

If your talking this sort of money then without any doubt buy a Ultima.

50k+, damn thats a lot of money, id build an ultima any day of the week over that. I thought it was cost similar to the K1

Also after looking at a few more pictures i must agree, it is a little disproportionate. The rear is an attempt to make it look like a Mercedes GTR and the front does not go well with the rear.

I looked at some front end pics and thought it look excellent

O the dilema

[Averroes]

Ive just been reading up on the new superlite, must say im impressed and it looks the dogs danglies

[Averroes]

Wow the famous Fran ive seen so many references to.

I sure am going to be in touch very soon as i need some more info on this beastie

[Averroes]

Fran, you are based in the UK right? If so how did you get involved with this whole superlite thing

[Averroes]

Aah good man,

And here was me thinking it was just an american mind behind it all lol

How much would a complete kit cost me Fran, meaning most component needed for the build and shipped here?

Also do you have any longer videos of the car on youtube as the ones ive seen are very short and bad quality
