2017 Tokyo Motor Show

The new 2018 Contendiente Enemigo.

Music for the reveal

You were expecting this reveal. The 2018 Enemigo.

Our sports coupe. Aggresive. Light. Affordable.

Inspired by touring cars and following an angular design, the new Enemigo is striking and aggresive, yet somewhat elegant.

Built on a stiff AHS steel chassis, combined with aluminium panels, and a conservative infotainment system, the new generation of the Enemigo manages to weigh only 1200kg. With a new suspension tune, the Enemigo manages to pull up to 1.20G of g-force at 20m and 1.14G at 250m.

Powered by a turbocharged 2 liter inline 4, making 320hp, we initially expected a 0-100 time of 4.9 seconds; but after some tuning, we managed to get it down to 4.5 seconds. The power is transfered to the ground through the rear wheels, spun by a 6 speed manual transmission, mated to an electronic LSD. This, with a “Contendiente mode” switch (switching the driver aids off), will allow you to have some fun and feel like a real race driver.

And we didn’t forget about including some practicality. You’ll be able to seat 5 people, and to carry 432L of cargo.

The S trim will be sold for only $23000, starting production at the start of 2018.

But that’s not all. We’ll also offer a more sensible trim, with a 120hp, naturally aspirated 1.6L I4. It will be called “EC” and it will be offered starting from $17300.
