I've got some old R&T articles on the Merek and to be honest, while they look like a million bucks, they go like a 911T 2.0. Way too much car weight for the engine. The engine is a 90 degree V8 with two cylinders cut off rather then a 60 degree V6 like Dino 246 -- as a result it's not particularly smooth nor does it rev like a 911 motor from the same era. Basically the engine is a 182 HP 3 liter which pulled the car from 0-60 in 9.2 seconds. How's that knock your socks off???
All of that being said -- I do admit that they look really cool.
BTW - You should check out the
Top Gear "Budget Supercar" Challenge before you buy anything. Compared to a Dino/Ferrari 308 GT4...
well the Merek looks cool!
