I love these looks. Nice
That’s a very nice car you have there!
Asura by Kimura. Redefining the limits for a street car.
Packing a 3 Liter Flatplane-Crank V8 engine, the Asura with help from Kimura’s F1 team has a redline of 10,500 RPM, higher than any other production car. The chassis and body panels are both made out of 100% Carbon Fiber which help keep weight down under 1300 kgs. 0-62 MPH is finished in a almost unbelievably scant 2.7 seconds and the top speed is nearly 215 MPH, but the Kimura Asura was not designed to be quick. As a matter of fact, the Asura was designed to corner as well as it could. To help with this, the Asurahas an also-F1 designed pushrod front and rear suspension as well as an electronic limited slip differential.
The Asura, whilst providing the feel and adrenaline rush of a racecar, does not lack the comfort found in other luxury vehicles. A high-quality interior is highly advanced, with a completely re-done infotainment system, heated and cooled seats and steering wheel, and an advanced lightweight sound deadening material that removes over 50 pounds of weight compared to a normal sound deadening material without compromising road noise. Of course, the Asura is a sculpted machine, with our signature Prismatic headlights among other design choices. The Asura, therefore, is not only a raw super car in it’s ultimate form, but also a car which is ready to face the challenge of daily life and is willing to enjoy a curvy backroad.

Rear end of the Asura is delectable
Auriga by Kimura. Refining a midsize sedan to perfection.
The 7th generation Kimura Auriga is all-new for the 2018 model year. Available are 3 engines; two advanced 2.3 Liter inline-4’s, naturally aspirated and turbocharged, and a powerful 3.2 Liter V6 with the highest specific output for a naturally aspirated V6 in the class. A 1.4 Liter turbocharged inline-4 will soon be available for European and Asian markets. All trims have a 7-Speed Dual-Clutch transmission whilst the base trim has a 6-speed manual as standard. The body of the Auriga is almost 50% stiffer yet lighter than the previous model thanks to a high usage of high-strength steel and aluminium. Strut suspension is used up front while a 5-link suspension is standard in the rear, allowing for the Auriga to be highly capable on curvy back roads as well as around town. In general, suspension is tuned for maximum comfort, livability, and spirited driving.
In addition to an enthusiastic drive, the Auriga is completely redesigned inside and out. The steering wheel has multiple functions which are clearly labeled for ease of use as well as the infotainment system, which incorporates a 10-inch touch screen which can also be controlled using a directional pad on the center console and can be used with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. Aluminium accents are used around the interior to help the interior’s sophistication. 10-way power front seats allow you to sit in a position tailed to yourself. Dual-zone climate control can help tune the temperature of your Auriga to perfection and automatic windows are included in every Auriga sold. Advanced safety features such as automatic braking, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and KimuraGuard™ are all available. The exterior was refined around our current design language, with soft and hard lines melding together to create one cohesive design that is both stylish and sophisticated. The Auriga won’t disappoint when you decide to give it some spirited driving, but it is still a highly comfortable, safe, and capable family cruiser with a stylish interior and exterior.

But anyway, I like the car 
And it’s available in actual COLOURS, unlike many modern cars. Interior picture is a good idea.

Damn. I mean I thought the Sachiuri sL200 was going to be my favorite car of the year, but another jaw dropping luxury compact? This thing is gorgeous. I adore those rear lights, definitley have a hint of the old Maserati Coupe about them. And it’s so smart too.
Engines also seem top notch, I’d love to see some economy and perofmance specs for those i4s. Did you take any inspiration from Jaguar’s Ingenium engines? Just that the use of “advanced” reminded me of it.
Also, can we expect any further variants of the Auriga? Coupes, wagons etc?
On a side note, that interior is exceptional. I saw some of the work in progress shots on discord but the final product is beyond belief. That’s an astounding achievement for realism in terms of photos on this forum.

This is yet another one of those corkers you have given us over the past few months… In addition to other body styles, will we see any powertrain options besides the ones already mentioned? An AWD twin-turbo V6 Auriga sounds tempting…

Dat’s a heavy sedan.
Then again it is a fully loaded V6 machine lol.
You got base specs?
Here are the SXi specifications.

It’s honestly not that quick with a manual, but to be fair it’ll probably be rated at under 8 seconds “corrected” in magazine tests if you know what I mean.

Helruna by Kimura. Proving that having fun in a car doesn’t have to be expensive.
The new for 2015 5th generation Kimura Helruna improves on the previous model with more power and a shorter wheelbase, allowing for a more compact frame and a livelier drive. There are 3 trims and 2 engines. The 2 “standard” trims, SXt and LXt, both come standard with a 1.8 Liter turbocharged inline-4. The KRS (Kimura Racing Sector) trim is outfitted with Magnetorheological dampers and a more powerful turbocharged 2.3 Liter inline-4. A 6-speed manual is standard whilst a 7-speed DCT is optional. The structure of the Helruna is made completely out of Aluminium and allows the Helruna to weigh under 2,900 lbs (1315 kgs). Double Wishbone suspension is used at all 4 wheels, leading to a smooth ride and sharp reflexes. A front-engined rear-wheel drive layout permits the Helruna to have a sporty demeanor but a new for 2014 Active Grip Control System, or AGCS for short, keeps the Helruna in check during hard cornering. AGCS is a system that works in conjunction with the traction control, so they are turned on and off simultaneously.
The Helruna isn’t all go and no show, however. The interior is lined with high-quality materials and an advanced infotainment system which incorporates an 8-inch touch screen which can also be controlled using a directional pad on the center console and can be used with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. Keyless entry is standard, as well as automatic windows and a hands-free communication system. Advanced safety features such as automatic braking, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and KimuraGuard™ are all available. Going around the exterior, the Helruna is stark and purposeful whilst retaining the beautiful flowing lines of a classic sports car. A long hood, short deck, and low, wide stance help contribute to the Helruna’s style and presence. Although the Helruna is a comfortable cruiser for long highway journeys, it really shows off it’s skills on the road.

Auburn by Kimura. A precise new breath of fresh air.
The 9th generation Kimura Auburn was unveiled in the 2012 Tokyo Motor Show for the 2013 model year and went into production in April of 2013. In the new Auburn are 3 engines; an efficient naturally aspirated 1.8 Liter Inline-4, a balanced turbocharged 1.6 Liter Inline-4, and a powerful 2.3 Liter turbocharged Inline-4. These 3 engines can be mated to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT. 4-wheel independent suspension is standard on all trims. The hood, trunk, and doors of the Auburn are composed of Aluminium to save weight, giving better fuel economy whilst driving (up to 41 MPG highway). 4-wheel fully independent suspension helps the Auburn tackle corners with ease and poise. Despite the classic Kimura DNA, the new Auburn is still an extremely comfortable highway cruiser, with a balanced suspension setup which provides the best of both worlds of sportiness and comfort without compromise. In conclusion, the Auburn is a true all-rounder, providing thrills on the road without taking away luxurious comfort.
The Auburn was redesigned from the ground up in 2013 inside and out. An all-new Clear Sense™ infotainment system was introduced with the Auburn. A 6.5-inch touch screen which is standard while an 8 inch screen is optional, compatible with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. A sleek and cohesive interior is one of the priorities with the Auburn; metal-look accents are used across the entire interior along with stylish patterns and materials selected specifically for the new Kimura. A whole slew of advanced safety features such as automatic braking, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and KimuraGuard™ were also available. Going onto the exterior, graceful and curvaceous lines adorn the body of the Auburn, which exudes a premium, upscale look. Kimura’s signature Prismatic headlights are optionally fully LED. Available in a sedan, coupe, or hatchback form, the Auburn is sure to please any of your needs. Overall, the new Auburn is upgraded from the previous generation in every way; it is faster, more comfortable, lighter, better to drive, more economical, and the best Auburn ever made.

I’ve got to say, you’ve really made that body work. Quite the handsome looking car this is!

That is a proper looker… And it’s also a legitimate rival to my Zorg ZV2 1.6! I reckon that the Auburn could also compete with the Rennen Caelum. If I were to buy an Auburn, it would be a 1.6t manual sedan in Rogue Red Metallic.
K-UBRIK by Kimura. Style and substance in a minute package.
The 2nd generation of Kimura’s Kei car, the K-UBRIK, debuted alongside the 2013 Kimura Auburn at the Tokyo Motor Show for the 2014 model year. You can get the small car with a choice of 2 engines, drivetrains, and transmissions. A N/A and turbocharged 659 cc Inline-4 with VVT and VVL are available with either FWD or 4WD and a 7-Speed DCT or 6-speed manual. 4 wheel independent suspension is standard on all models for comfortable cruising along with partially aluminium panels to let the already lightweight K-UBRIK shed a few more kilos. Even with a tall roof, the K-UBRIK remains steady through tight corners, with a very tight turning circle and stiff anti-roll bars preventing excessive body roll. Even with a short wheelbase, the K-UBRIK is still capable of staying planted at high speeds thanks to months of meticulous suspension tuning.
As a departure from the previous, more adventure-focused K-UBRIK, the new car has a more practical 5-door hatchback package as opposed to a 3-door. Along with the Auburn, the all-new Clear Sense™ infotainment system was introduced. A 6.5-inch touch screen which is standard on all trims, compatible with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. The main theme with the K-UBRIK was “geometrically cute.” Thus, multiple shapes and textures were used through the cabin, with up to 5 different accent colors including red, white, grey, blue, and black available. Despite it’s small size, many advanced safety features such as automatic braking, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and KimuraGuard™ are available. The exterior continues the cutesy theme with a blocky design that’s lovable yet sophisticated. With nearly 1000 color combinations, you can truly personalize your own K-UBRIK just the way you like it. You can change the side accent colors, roof and mirror colors, wheels, base car colors, grille colors, and even more to make your K-UBRIK, well, yours. Prismatic headlights continue to be present in the K-UBRIK, with a full LED setup available. The K-UBRIK oozes style, but manages to stay sophisticated. It’s charming, yet pragmatic. It truly is the definitive Kimura Kei car.

So pro the presentation.
I still find it amusing that DCT is on offer in a K car with a 0-100 of 16s, same with the AWD. But hey, apparently in Australia, the best selling FK8 Civic trim by a long margin is the fake RS version which charges you a good 5000 bucks for some black shiny bits, a fake lip, fake wing, a fake badge and fake leather seats so
