Rarity

Airtrek Turbos are a rare find now in Sg roads. Even with my observant eyes especially for this model, predictably so because it's the first car i have driven, this SUV is slowly being exported and i reckon there are less than 30 here.

Facts on the soon-to-be-extinct Airtrek Turbo:

______________________
Stock 245bhp, 343nm torque

5AT

4WD

Evo 7 engine

TD04 turbo (same size as wrx)

Stock top mount intercooler

Spotted 2 well modified ATRs in a single day.

#1



Ultra striking ATR with Damd front bumper, Trust FMIC, Sparco buckets x2, Red plastic interior, Defi gauges, Red Brembos (front and rear), White 18" Ralliart rims, and the list goes on.



Didn't really like the exaggerated spoiler.
Ralliart rear bumper, HKS exhaust (shld be) and 2 white stripes complete the patriotic theme for this car.


#2



This is a much cleaner set up. One of the nicest i have seen so far.
Pearl white paintwork, Apexi N1 exhaust, Ralliart front and rear bodykit, Stock evo 17" enkei rims, coilovers, and many more..

Pros and cons about the car -

Pros:

> Extreme pulling power - 343nm at stock, endless possibilities with mods.

> Surprise package - not many are aware of the potential of this car.

Cons:

> Peak torque arrives very late in the rev range - city driving is not fun at all.

> Enormous turbo lag - this is what happens when manufacturers put a big turbo into a small capacity engine

+++++++++++++++++++

This car needs to shed some serious weight. More than 1.5 tons unladen weight is like an evo with 2 Shaqs.
