Korean supercar market heats up



Supercars, with their sleek exteriors, speed and power are objects of desire and envy for many car enthusiasts.

While supercars are reserved for the select few, and are rarely seen on the roads of Korea, the launch of a new supercar rarely fails to pique the interest of an enthusiast.

Several supercars including the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Bentley Continental Supersports have made their way onto the local market during the first half of this year.

The Bentley Continental Supersports comes with a 6-liter twin turbo engine with maximum power output of a massive 621 brake horsepower. The vehicle is capable of reaching 100 kilometers per hour in 3.9 seconds, with speed topping out at 329 kilometers per hour.

The Ferrari 458 Italia’s figures are no less impressive. The vehicle comes with a 4.5-liter engine that puts out 570 brake horsepower, while top speed clocks in at 325 kilometers per hour.

High power output and off-the-charts speed aren’t the only things that are “super” about supercars.
