Ah yes, British sports cars... True wonders of the automotive world. In the early 60s, a very rich man by the name of Philip Cornwall started a sports car brand. His first prototype wasn't really that original, so he made it a bit different, and got what he wanted. He started making 4 engines, all Inline 4's. There was the 2L 8V DAOHC producing 113hp and the same engine but with Heavy duty internals producing 10 additional horses. The other ones were bigger 2.5L 12V SOHC engines, one producing 151hp and the other HD version with 179hp. Those were the engines offered in the 1967 model year that looked like this with the HD models having different wheels Kalos 200/250 The next year, 3 more engines rolled up, this time they were all Quad Cam DOHC engines with Aluminium heads. The 2L engines produced 148hp and 171hp for the Regular and HD versions respectively. The 2.5L one had 172, pretty much the same performance as the 200HD but cheaper and less satisfying. The 1968 got a facelift. The car got bigger tail fins, more chrome, a new grille and a more aerodynamic shape. The whole car was also a lot more luxurious. Kalos 200 1969, the Kalos got a new body style, the Fastback. The real kicker was the new engine; the 250F, F as in forged. It produced 219 horsepower and was only available in the new trims Cornwall made, the 250R (only availabe in Fastback) and a luxury roadster version funnily called the ''Posh Edition''. Kalos 250R Kalos Posh Edition The 1970 model year real was sadly the last one, but fortunately, the final trim was an absolute banger. The 300R, which featured a Straight-6 engine, it looked the same as the 250R but had a mad 290 horsepower. It was essentially a 250R but with 2 extra cylinders and a bonkers exhaust note enough to wake up your neighbour's deaf grandad. Kalos 300R
