Kuromitsu Motors Ltd.

Image

Mitsu Motors was a very reputable builder from the 60's known for building revolutionary sports cars and engines. In the 80s the Mitsu Motors failed to follow the evolution of technology from other builders and thus suffered in reputation and in sales.

The sales decline was so great that in 1990 the factory located in Yokohama where they operated all tasks had to quit and leave everything abandoned.

In 1991 Shingi Korusawa bought the company and changed the name to Korumitsu Motors Ltd.

The XCS (Experimental Coupe Sports) is the result of over 20 years of experience with sports cars and revolutionary direct injection engines!

The year 2017 will bring new investments in our factory located in Yokohama, Japan allowing greater automobile production number using various materials essential for the current sports such as aluminum , carbon, ceramics. Will be a revolutionary year for Kuromitsu Motors Ltd. with a range of models with a new design and new engine technologies providing excellent performance and fuel consumption!

The XCS is a sports coupe that combines good performance at a great fuel consumption . Its monocoque structure is made of glued aluminum and aluminum panels that allow a weight of 1311kg . The suspension is double- wishbone scheme.

The new N8T-A1 engine of Korumitsu Motors Ltd. is one of the engines in the new line that equips models starting 2016 (SkyDreams Technology) which use variable valve system (i-VVS) and turbocharger.

Image
This new N8T-A1 is an engine 1.8cc 24v DOHC V6 with 366Nm@5400rpm and 322Hp@7800Rpm thanks to the use of the i-VVS System and Twin-Turbo Charger , mounted in transverse position and acoupled to a 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Gearbox (DCGT).

Re: Kuromitsu Motors Ltd.

I really like the concept of the XCS Type S, really futuristic! A little expensive, but hey, it has a very modern technology. The stats looks good, but I think the reliability is more on the lower side.

Oooooh, ouch, right as the Adelaide RS is showing age and simultaneously failing in AMWEC, a direct competitor comes with a similar pricetag...
Nice one :)

Re: Kuromitsu Motors Ltd.

I am happy to announce that there may be 1 or 2 more variants of Gehyuris (maybe a 2.4cc i4 SkyDreams Engine and a 3.0cc i6 SkyDreams)!

A Sports Wagon that uses the same base and engine of Gehyuris 180SH is almost finalized and will be presented soon!

Re: Kuromitsu Motors Ltd.

I find it pretty rare for Gehyuris to be RWD , as for this segment is pretty rare

the design i can say is dam awesome , and your company is definetly a competitor to my company , waiting for you to release more cars !

anyway , i have a Full Hybrid car too , called Ponqi and also bulit in Japan , that will be a decent rival for the Gehyuris

Re: Kuromitsu Motors Ltd.

The front end reminds me a lot of the newest Camry Sport. Looks great!
