Seupang 1967
The first Kyung-Yeong sports car, the Seupang featured a 2.0L inline 6 running on DCOE triple carburettors outputting 160hp at 6,500rpm. It could reach an impressive 168mph and was able to do 0-62mph in 6.07s. The car had solid disks all around and hydraulic steering which eventually advanced into KYI’s family cars.
It was offered in all standard Kyung-Yeong colours from previous cars, as well as newly introduced: Rain Blue, Sunset Orange and Midnight Black.
Seupang Turbo 1970
In 1970 there was a facelift model: The Seupang Turbo which featured mechanical fuel injection and a ball bearing single turbocharger, boosting it to 220hp @ 6,400rpm. It now had a fully clad undertray, advanced safety, new 15-inch magnesium wheels and a gas-mono progressive suspension as well as an 8-track radio. A weight-reduced track model with easy-remove seating, harder springs and racier tyres was quite successful in this facelift version, with optional radio fitting.
Seupang Turbo II 1974
In 1974, the Seupang Turbo II released, equipped with a geared LSD, variable hydraulic and further safety enhancements. With 222hp and the light weight from aluminium panels, it could hit an incredible top speed of 181mph, and 0-62mph in 5.6s, which made it the fastest production car for a few years.
All 1974 Seupangs were offered with additional metallic coats of paint on the three exclusive colours to the Seupang: Rain Blue, Sunset Orange and Midnight Black.
Seupang LM-R ('67, '70 Turbo, '74 Turbo II)
The Seupang was also Kyung-Yeong’s first leap into motorsports. The first generation Seupang LM-R was entered in the Japanese GP from 1967 and 1968, coming in at 3rd and 2nd the following year. It was also the first South Korean car to enter Le Mans in 1967 entering in the Prototype 2.0L class. The LM-R finished 4th in class through its reliability and fuel efficient strengths over power. The following year it also finished 4th.
In 1970 when the turbocharged Seupang came, the next generation LM-R came with it with adjusted body work and now a wing to aid with its already impressive agility at the cost of speed again. Due to it being the only car to finish Le Mans 1970 in Prototype 2.0L class, it was awarded 1st place in class. It finished in podiums all throughout the years till its replacement LM-R Turbo II, a 351hp monster machine. It dominated the Prototype 2.0L class and earned multiple 1st place finishes.
