In 1997, when Samsung Motor announced the SSC-1 concept car, many people expected that the production of mid-size sports cars was not too far. However, Samsung Motors was caught in the swirl of the big deal, and the expectation of mass production of SSC-1 also disappeared like a bomb. The SSC-1, which we met this time, is one of the collections of the Samsung Transportation Museum. I do not know what material I would have made if it had been mass-produced, but the car body of this car is an FRP material commonly used in prototyping. It is not in perfect shape as if the format of the frame was not fixed either. The horizontally mounted engine is Nissan's V6 2.5X VQ for the SM525. This is different from the PS-II where the engine is placed vertically. These engine layouts seem to be the choice to use the transmission used in the front-wheel-drive system rather than the decisions made on the pros and cons. Already proven globally, the engine delivers a maximum output of 190 horsepower. However, if it led to mass production, it might have increased the displacement or the output (VQ ??engine is 3.0X class). The suspension is double wishbone front and rear, damper and spring combined with coneye and iibach. It's kind of awkward to try out the performance of a car that's just a prototype, not a test drive, but I've tried it anyway. The seat is very low in position as a sports car, and is an all-steel bucket seat with ivory-colored leather. The side seats are high and the seats are relatively low, making it quite inconvenient to go in and out. However, in order to secure the rigidity of the body and styling, side seals must be thick. This is also true for the PS-II. Many parts of the interior have brought either Samsung or Nissan's. These parts do not necessarily coincide with mass production. Turn the key and start the engine. The engine makes a loud bang. It was disappointing because it was not a massive bass that caused my heart to jump, but it reminds me again that it is not a finished car. I went to and fro from here and there, but it was not enough to give me the thrill. This car was an anthropological prototype that had been waiting for a hatch and became a fossil without seeing the world light. In addition, it is not a collection of museums. I was sorry to rush it. The brakes are front and rear with Brembo, both V-discs. Performance is sensitive enough to be overkill. If it was mass produced, it would have been adjusted. PS-II is the ambition of the proto car, which aims to be the best carroche. There are some hundreds of chief stylists who choose and choose among the Xi'an, but there was a part of the person who said that there will be a part to change in the mass production stage. Lightweight, rigid aluminum space frame is used and FRP body is worn. The space frame is structurally difficult to avoid the relatively thick side seals. The Mercedes-Benz 300SL coupe has a gage door with a space frame, so it has enough gusset rigidity. The V6 3.0X engine of the domestic automobile company was trimmed, and the maximum output was 250 horsepower. The engine was arranged vertically and combined with a six-speed manual transmission. The transmission is said to have been converted to a six-speed version of Istana's. The suspension is a double wishbone type front and rear, and the brake uses both front and rear V discs. Calipers are said to be domestic products. Since the PS-II is also under development, the engine, transmission, interior and exterior components, suspension, and brakes can not be considered definitive products. Like SSC-1, PS-II could not be driven roughly. The person who brought the car is still in the setting section, so I encouraged him to ride rather than take the test. The PS-II, which I looked over my shoulder and felt like a hips, was also an unfinished atmosphere. However, the PS-II is more advanced in transmission, engine sound and interior. If SSC-1 is a past-completion type, then PS-II is currently in progress and is likely to be. The styling of both cars seems to be similar at first. The low wedge front view and the connecting line from the roof to the top of the rear fenders are typical mid coupe coupés. But if you look at each one in detail, you can read the changes in design over time. The styling of the PS-II is straightforward, but with the SSC-1 you can find more curves and richer volume. The SSC-1 also has a 17-inch, PS-II, 18-inch wheels (both rear tires are wider than front tires). SSC-1 is a rather attractive woman with a rather chubby body, and PS-? is like a seductive woman whose body is well-suited to exercise and diet.
