Bolwell Nagari - First Official Image Released
Many may have not ever heard of the Bolwell Car Company, but now they will. The company will present the new Nagari (nothing to do with Mazda’s concept car) at the Melbourne Motor Show in February 29 and, though the company has not stated officially which engine will power the car, Campbell Bolwell, the founder of the company, writes at the homepage of Bolwell’s website that he has built his first V8 sports car at 16. Since it was his dream to construct a V8 sports car, this is very likely to be his beauty’s powerplant. We will just have to find out which V8.
Meanwhile, Bolwell has release this first image and given hints on the rest of the car in its official website. The press release claims the “four headlight front end echoes the legendary McLaren F1”, but the overall appearance of the sporty vehicle resembles much more another myth on wheels, the Ferrari F40. In an indirect way, Bolwell recognises the influence and makes reference to the “best Italian mid-engined exotics”.
No technical details have been released so far, but the press release also states that the Nagari’s design “also pays homage to the original Nagari of the 1970’s”. The elements that make the connection between the two cars are the rising hip line and the tunnel-back rear window (not disclosed so far). We’ll bring you the pictures and the technical specs as soon as they are disclosed.
Ferrari was even the first word in my head, seeing this photo. I think it's nice to see, someone is pursuit his dreams very well. Like to see more of this project
ohhh yea this does remind me of the lister storm lol not the f430 though as someone said above ahaha
F430 is different with F40... dont laugh at somebody if u r the stupid person...MDS
oh sorrrrrryyyyy.... still doesn't look like the F40 and i wasn't laughing... clearly i misread
he wasn't laughing at you dumbass. he just misread your comment. Anyway, this looks like a Ford GT to me.
Yeah, it's rather generic- shades of the new Noble So many sportscars from small makers and few make it. Though apart from the Elfin does it have much local competition in Australia?
looks like the maserati mc12 from the front to me.
First thing I said when I saw the picture labled "Bolwell Nagari - First Official Image Released" I immediatly thought who in the world is Bolwell". I saw the car, first thing the popped in my head was FACTORY FIVE RACING GTM, and not an original by Bolwell Nagari
Bolwell has zero potential in making it as a new supercar manufacturer. You would think someone with enough cash to make a car from scratch would be more creative with the design, for starters. Moreover, I'm sure the interior is going to be about as inspiring as the interior of Barbie's 308. It's really upsetting, as many independent car manufacturers are handicapped in that regard.
I thought this company bought the rights to produce the Noble M14 outside of the UK? Or something like that. I might be wrong but to me it looks like an older Noble.
