[tou] [gtc] VilSU Suomi 2011

Post by Doorslammer »

The VilSU Suomi Coupes of past have been small but powerful affairs. Similar in size to an MX-5. But things in Finland have just gotten bigger...

That's right, the Suomi Coupe returns on it's newest 2 year cycle. And it's origins come from the failed merger of DHVUnity, when the Sanae SE hit the automotive shows. A large Camaro-sized coupe, the Sanae SE never did reach road car sales and was forgotten about. Until 4 years later, when the Finns breathed new life into the project for their own use.

With a big update on the front end, the Suomi hasn't changed much from it's original stance. Packing the typical high horsepower petrol engine up front and rear wheel drive, it is Finland's answer to the muscle cars of the USA. Not only that, the Suomi now has a GT racing version, available in a purpose-built all-carbon fibre body.

VilSU has pretty much been associated with large capacity industrial engines (for trains and power supplies mostly), but now it's automotive arm of the business can flex once again.
