The 2018 ETL Spec-V will be the set to be the first performance variant for Auxuras, the most aggressive and sporty Auxuras sedan ever
Auxuras finally joins the high-performance luxury car fray today with the introduction of the 2018 ETL Spec-V
Auxuras has long competed in the luxury car market, but traditionally it didn’t have much to offer consumers who wanted a vehicle with exceptionally high performance. That’s all changed with the recent introduction of the Auxuras ETL Spec-V. Based on the regular ETL luxury sedan, the ETL Spec-V will comes with a V6 twin turbo engine, a track-tuned suspension, stronger brakes and special interior and exterior styling details. The ETL Spec-V does indeed offer a serious, no-compromises driving experience for hard-core enthusiasts.
Twin-Turbo V6 engine, from the legendary CZ6
Under the ETL Spec-V hood is a 3.5-liter V6 Twin-Turbo engine which is the same engine as the CZ6 but was de-tuned to produce a respectable 420 horsepower and 550 nm of torque. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic capable of 0.1-second shifts, controlled by paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Other high-performance features include engine oil and transmission fluid coolers and Super Control All Wheel drive
Agressive Styling, New Spider grille design from the Saminda F-Concept
The styling has also gotten the high-performance treatment with the quad tailpipes. For Auxuras’ first leap into the ultra-performance arena.
Pricing?
No official statement from Auxuras but you can expect it will cost around US$60,000-$70,000.

I’ve never seen anything from Saminda-Auxuras that was designed in UE4 up to now - this ETL Spec-V looks like a good start, and clearly shows that the revered Japanese marque has finally gotten its mojo back after a long time in the doldrums! On looks and specs alone, it deserves to lock horns with the Zenshi Nimessa Newman on the road and at the track. I can’t wait to see both of these reimagined executive samurais face off against each other!

The ETL is a Luxury Mid-Size sedan, the ITL Spec-V will be more suitable against Zenshi Nimessa.
It will be in preview soon with more than 350bhp.
Sooo ETL is sth like BMW 3 series?
Ya know @Starfish94, if you ever fancied seeing how the Spec-V compared against rival mid-size sports sedans, a certain Mr Anderson is only ever a phone call away.

Also I wonder how would an injector be placed in a direct injection SOHC engine.

That looks really, really good! I love cars like this… great take on the compact executive segment! I also like how you went for FWD like the Acura TLX instead of RWD like most compact executives.
