Re: ovloV S4?



No, the ovloV 780 coupe had a 4 cylinder turbocharged engine.  My brother
had one of these cars for a few years and I have taken it for several
drives.  Despite the nice leather interior and the rated 190hp, it was
a complete let-down in terms of driving pleasure.  The engine felt
anemic and unresponsive, and steering felt disconnected, and the
handling was also sub-par.
