Polish automotive industry itself actually has always been quite developed as a local company to produce cars at affordable prices such as FSO Polonez and so on. Setback point of the Polish automotive industry occurs when the collapse of the Berlin Wall in Germany. Like a zombie in the Polish automotive industry, where a sports car named Syrena Sport is resurrected after several decades asleep.

Syrena Sport was a Polish prototype sports car designed and built in the late 1950s by a group of engineers at the Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO), which due to general economic and political reasons never went into mass production. Originally the car was a two-door coupe that borrowed design cues from Ferrari and was powered by a two-cylinder, air-cooled boxer engine.

But now, after decades of buried the Syrena Sport was ready to birth after Polish entrepreneurs named Rafal Czubaj try to make it happen. In the latest version of sightings, as reported by the Left Lane, that Syrena Sport uses the Nissan 370Z chassis which combined with Pavlo Burtaktskyy design. Interestingly, there is no resemblance between the 1950s prototype and the currently Syrena which is being prepared.

To drive this car, Czubaj will also include an engine that adopted from the Nissan 370Z i.e. 3.7-liter V6 engine that can generate power of 330 hp. Reportedly also be prepared turbocharged version that comes with that can generate power 450 hp.

The car with a curb weight of 1,299.54 kg (2,865 lbs), the car should be plenty quick. Expect acceleration to 96.56 kph (60 mph) in around 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 289,68 kph (180 mph). But unfortunately, the Syrena Sport was still practically as a mere embryo. Therefore, Czubaj only produce 1 car as the sample and will make more if there is enough demand from the public.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GREASE N GASOLINE | AUTOBLOG | MOTOR AUTHORITY]
