When you’re looking for a fast and stylish GT car, it pays to look beyond the usual European, American and Japanese suspects - after all, sometimes it seems like every other wealthy enthusiast has one. With that in mind, Albury Motors of Australia presents the Crusader II 5.7 Touring - a sleek, sophisticated alternative to offerings from other premium brands. So why should you consider it when there are so many other choices available? In a world, reliability - the Crusader has been extensively tested in places as remote as the hot, dry Australian Outback to ensure that hardly anything breaks, even after hundreds of thousands of kilometres. Besides, you wouldn’t expect any Australian manufacturers to build a two-seat sports car, would you?
Yet that’s exactly what we’ve done here, and we’ve given it the engine to match its styling. Under the hood is the latest version of our tried and tested Universal V8, now developing 325 bhp from 5.7 litres. On the inside you’ll find a high-quality leather interior with genuine wood accents, while a retuned adaptive suspension and five-speed automatic gearbox ensure a comfortable yet exciting drive in all conditions. And unlike other Crusaders, this one comes with a discreet lip spoiler instead of a wing for a cleaner, more mature look. Finally, you can specify your own exterior colors and interior finishes as part of the Albury Individual Personalization program. All of this can be yours for just $54,600, including a 100% markup.
