wanna ride a leopard?

If you are a college driver like me, then this will also be one of your dream cars. This Geely Tiger GT may seem to be a virtual ride of a superhero isn’t it? But hey! That is the reason why you don’t need to spend countless hours at all as a kid in front of the TV watching your superhero’s mobile. Let’s take a closer look on this futuristic ride .

Geely Tiger GT is the putative successor to the current Leopard coupe in the comapany’s lineup. This is a two-door coupe that features swoopy styling that Geely hopes will set it apart from its Chinese rivals.

It has a dropped front snout that has a split grille, containing holes rather than traditional slats or mesh. The headlamps are nestled in fenders defined by sharp character lines that sweep upward and back down into the doors. The rear haunches have the same curve to them, having large tail lamps that are just above the centre line of the rear wheels. Greenhouse features two small rear quarter windows for the rear passengers.

The rear drive is powered by a 3.5 liter V6. The engine produces about 225 bhp and 340 lb.ft of torque. A multilink suspension rides on 19-in wheels and tires.

Now with all these good specs, I am again itching to convince my dad. Would it be too much for an honor student like me?
