[quote]The first generation Saminda CZ6, marketed in North America as the Auxuras CZ6, is a 2-seater, mid-engined sports car that was manufactured by Saminda in Japan from 1992 to 2002. The Pre-facelift CZ6 features 2.7-liter V6 i-VIC SOHC engine , on 1998 the CZ6 recieved a facelift with a slightly bigger engine with 3.0-liter V6 i-VIC DOHC engine
The Saminda CZ6 changed the way the world viewed the Japanese motor industry, it proved that there were no longer any more areas of the market that the Japanese couldn’t attack. the CZ6 was something rather special, though a fully-fledged mid-engined junior supercar. A Italian rival.
And when the CZ6 was launched in 1992 it left the competition behind, in terms of reliability and practicality. The
chassis was perfected at Suzuka, with late-development input from Kuro Saminda. Kuro Saminda convinced the CZ6 engineers to stiffen the CZ6 even more and totally change the rear suspension geometry to give the CZ6 uncompromising traction. Even if that would subsequently be proven to be at the cost of tyre wear.
Saminda wanted the CZ6 to be perfect and over its 10-year lifespan it was under constant development. And although it was brilliant, the CZ6 was slightly too flawed to achieve that perfect ten…
The CZ6 is Kuro Saminda last project before his death in 1994[/quote]

How Saminda and Erin collaborate from 1982-1995 , and became strangers.
Erin Motor Co. / Saminda Motor Co.
The joint venture between Erin and Saminda , which effectively lasted from 1982 to 1995, attracted widespread attention. Erin’s importance to Britain’s industrial heartland and place in a major global business were recognised, and it was hoped that collaboration could invigorate the product design and production management capabilities of an ailing national flagship. Although was thought to be a successful case at that moment , both Erin and Saminda ultimately failed to achieve their objectives after that.
Saminda , like other automotive companies, also came to the conclusion of firming a joint venture. At the moment, while Saminda’s cars enjoyed reputation for good quality and durability, the import restrictions limited its success it the European market. However, the European market was essential for the company’s global expansion. With the joint venture, Saminda could avoid the restrictions on the import quota by assembling cars locally, because these cars would be considered locally produced. Moreover, a local partner could assumedly offer a better insight of the market.
Indeed, both Saminda and Erin had something to deliver each other. Saminda had the capability in designing engines and gearboxes, where Erin had design specialist and the ability to fund the development activities. In addition, Saminda’s distribution network in Asia could be helpful for Erin’s products.
Erin’s excess capacity did enable Saminda to quickly increase the sales in the European market, and both Saminda and Erin did make money.
##The Seperation of both companies
The collabration for both companies lasted for 13 years , Erin at that time could not export it cars to Japan and termination would mean that Erin can now export , as Erin wanted to sell it own cars in Japan instead of rebadged Saminda , although the joint venture did make money untill 1990 , where it really didn’t . Erin think it’s not necessary to collaborate anymore.
#Why did Erin succeed where Saminda still fails in UK even today?
Erin had different thinking from Saminda when it develop in European market. Erin chose to establish its own engineering center while Saminda wanted alliance as a way to develop the European market. From the aspects mentioned above, it can be seem that Erin might have more chances to succeed where Saminda failed to reach its goals , is why Erin‘s way may work better than Saminda’s and can be seen from several aspects.
(Next would be cars where Erin and Saminda collaborate)

You can probably get a first gen KHT Tsukuba, with a Saminda engine for under 3 grand, probably molested by overly enthusiastic tuners, and pretend it’s the same thing, while secretly drooling over the CZ6 and posting CZ6 pictures on Carthrottle.
In any case. I love the first gen CZ6… Keep it up, @Starfish94

I saw one Tsukuba with 120,000 miles on it for 12.5K , i am considerinhng to buy a new Maesima MZR3 , Dimension Nova or used KHT Tsukuba , the fact that Tsukuba attracts me is that it’s powered by Saminda bulletproof engine while tuned by KHT.
The original CZ6 was very much like an NA1 NSX, particularly the post-facelift version with its full-width taillight strip.

The Second-Generation CZ2 is also called Devaran in UK and Australia and is produced by Erin Motor Company , it’s based on the US Spec Auxuras CZ2 but the differences is that the Devaran comes only with 4 doors. It’s also the last Devaran produced by Erin after the ending the collaboration in 1995
The 2.2-liter engine can also be found on KHT Tsukuba [/quote]
