After the RS530 concept previewed it, here it is
#The 2018 Baltazar Quark
Artwork done by @titleguy1
Here it is, the car that defines the supermini/subcompact market. Fun to drive, practical, economical, easy to drive, good looking and affordable. The Quark is proof that you can have your cake and eat it and, on this new generation model, that statement has only become more true.
Buidling up on the strengths of the predecessor, the car has extra high strength steel on its structure, for better torsional rigidity and passenger cell stiffness, where as some of the panels are composite, like the front wheelarches, bootlid and roof, in a quest to save weight, which in turn aids handling and fuel economy.
The car will be sold from launch with 4 different engine options, a 1.0 3-cylinder with 70 hp, two 1.4 engines, one NA with 100 hp and a turbo-charged 125hp and a 1.6 turbo with 150 hp. A sportier GT option will come soon afterwards.
All cars are equipped as standard with a 6-speed manual gearbox, with a 6-speed DCT being offered as optional on the turbocharged engines.
