looking forward to it
S76 is a practical midsize… looking forward to seeing it!
The naming is going to have a learning curve before people understand all of it, but surely a complete model lineup will help. I like it
simple, yet striking
Rear lights you see are prototype lights and will not be found on final production version.
because SPEED
Answers. To critisisms above.
1st. Because I like it that way.
2nd. Idk how to build engines. Smoothness is not a massive problem with modern DCTs I believe. Maybe I am wrong. Also all engines ar NA and have quite smooth powerband. But as I said, ikd.
3rd. 1st digit is class. 2nd digit is size/importance. S is S.
If there is a similarity it’s up to body type and slim line-like taillights. I personally like S76 more, mainly the location of the number plate. Then there are small things like the lower placed door handles, different rims and rear bumper bits. It’s almost like a European vs American type of argument. Mine being the European. Somewhat Audiesque feel to it (ironic as I don’t like Audis that much). Front ends are completely different. Feel free to fight me
SETTLE?
In a way the brand new 2025 Opus OS4 is a perfect representation of that ethos as it offers unrivalled performance for the cost. A true super-saloon for 30k.
That begs the question: Why settle for anything ordinary?
Brief
OS stands for OpusSport. The new OS4 follows the Opus's established design language: simple, functional, effective. That and some extra spice. It is directly based on it's less able sibling: the O4. But it also grabs inspiration from elsewhere. It has a front engined longitutinal platform similar to the one found in Ökul's S93 sports car range. It has an all wheel drive system similar to the one found in the rally-inspired hot hatch Opus OS2. It has a straight 5 motor similar to the one found in the Estonian group B monster C380 (unofficially Geoff Martin's C380). And now on to the wildest part: due to some clever compromises, the new OS4 is affordable.
The result is a relatively light and powerful saloon that punces well above it's weight class on motorways, on smaller B-roads and on racetracks.

really liked all your cars. that super simple design language works great with the brand.
So I am refreshing the first post.
Some Geneva spoilers can be found. Go have a peek if interested.
There’s a bit of new V8 Vantage in the exterior styling of the S93 - it should help draw in plenty of new customers!
Finished refreshing Ökul model range. Go have a peek in a first post.
Also today: the launch on Leo Khan. Yet to add this to first post.
