I hope the camera that took that pic has really bad color rendition. It is not only butt ugly, it in no way jives with the exterior color. What in the heck were they thinking?

 

Two concerns ... first, since you haven't posted pics other than those from the Startech site, someone could conclude you do not own this vehicle. So get some pics of it on your own ASAP.

Second, you may want to use the European section of the board to market your car. The US has strict rules for emissions and safety. Even though this vehicle came off the same line as US cars, it is not certified. Bringing the vehicle into compliance could cost tens of thousands of dollars (did research trying to bring my 740i from the Middle East)

Good luck with the sale.

 

Daun has posted many comments and photos of his Startech. Look in his gallery and read his forum postings.

 

Yep. Actually, he has photos of virtually every nook and cranny (literally) of the engine bay on the Startech coupe.

Keep in mind that the selling price of this car when it came out was $182,772.

The startech coupe V8 ist based on an US Chrysler crossfire. Emmissions an safety are into compliance to the strict US rules.

No problems !

 

Daun, i always thought your car was powered by a supercharged v8 out of e55 or sl55 amg. Appearantly i am wrong. Can you tell me what car your engine comes from?

 

Engine:
BRABUS self development:
6.1 "Hubraummotor" based on Mercedes Benz M113 V8.
The engine is not supercharged.

 

pretty sure it's a 6.1L HEMI. most SRT8's are 425hp, right?

would make sense considering it's daimler/chrysler and an SRT.

6.1L HEMI V-8 Stats:

Description: Eight cylinders, 90-degree V-type, liquid cooled. Deep-skirt cast iron block with cross-bolted main bearing caps, aluminum alloy heads with Hemispherical combustion chambers

Bore x stroke: 4.06 x 3.58 (103 x 90.9)

Camshaft: Silent chain, 5-bearings. Bi-metal material except number 3 Babbit. Deep-fillet rolled journals for improved fatigue life, press fit damper to minimize torsional vibration

Compression Ratio: 10.3:1

Crankshaft: Nodular cast iron, tuned assembly vibration damper, 6 bi-metal bearings

Displacement: 370 CID (6,059 cu. cm)

Engine speed, max: 6,400 rpm (electronically limited)

Fuel injection: Sequential, multi-port, electronic, returnless

Fuel requirement: Premium 91 octane (R+M)/2 - recommended

Knock sensors: Dual, wide band

Oil capacity: 7 qt. (6.6L)

It's not the Hemi, instead an oversized AMG. The only thing Mercedes took from Chrysler was their cash.

 

Kim,

Hows it going. I am back in MA. One less FL crossfire out there now.

Maybe just maybe I will buy that startech, it is already in the best color!

TTYL

Daun,

I suggest putting detailed pictures of the ride because at 100k I for one would need to see a great deal of detail about her before making the purchase. Especially with that blue interior which is not the most appealing in the small and few numbers of pics that I have seen.

THanks

Nate

 

Be as it may...i'd rather buy a 996 911 Turbo for my daily, and a 996 GT3 for the road course for 100k.

 

STARTECH COUPÉ V8 6.1

6.1 liters displacement from eight cylinders, 426 hp / 313 kW maximum power output, a peak torque of 621 Nm, 0 - 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 300 km/h (= 186 miles/h) : This is an American muscle car made in Germany in the form of the STARTECH Coupe V8 6.1.


The engine bay of the new coupe turned out to be large enough to accommodate the STARTECH V8 6.1 increased-displacement engine, albeit after some modifications. Power is transferred to the rear axle via an electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission and a custom-developed locking differential.

The STARTECH V8 6.1 engine delivers 426 hp / 313 kW at 5,400 rpm and produces a gigantic peak torque of 621 Nm at 4,100 rpm.

Thus equipped the two-seater coupe turns into a purebred sports car with extreme performance potential: The STARTECH Coupe V8 6.1 takes just 4.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 - 100 km/h. Top speed is 300 km/h.

This kind of performance places highest demands on suspension, brakes and aerodynamics. STARTECH upgrades the two-door also in these areas: The STARTECH sport suspension with gas-pressure shocks, progressive-rate springs and stronger sport sway bars was specifically calibrated to account for the higher weight of the eight-cylinder engine. It offers sporty handling in combination with everyday driving comfort.

The STARTECH suspension concept for the STARTECH Coupe V8 6.1 also comprises custom-tailored tire/wheel combinations with 19- and 20-inch staggered tires. Steering commands are transmitted to Pirelli tires in size 235/35 ZR 19, mounted on one-piece STARTECH Monostar V 8.5Jx19 five-spoke wheels. 255/30 ZR 20 high-performance tires on 9.5Jx20 wheels guarantee maximum traction on the rear axle.

The STARTECH high-performance brake system features six-piston aluminum fixed calipers and 355-mm vented and cross-drilled discs on the front axle in combination with 300-mm discs and four-piston aluminum fixed calipers in back. This system offers maximum stopping power and maximum endurance at all times.

The high speeds attained by the STARTECH Coupe V8 6.1 necessitate optimum aerodynamic efficiency. To reduce lift on the front axle and to give the coupe even more passing prestige STARTECH designers and aerodynamics engineers developed a front spoiler attached to the stock bumper.

The STARTECH side sills provide an optimal aerodynamic transition between the front and rear wheelhouses.

Lift on the rear axle is minimized by the STARTECH diffuser inserts for the stock rear bumper, a STARTECH roof spoiler and the STARTECH rear spoiler, which deploys together with the stock rear spoiler.

Exclusive interior design is another STARTECH specialty. In addition to its performance the STARTECH Coupe V8 6.1 also offers a special ambiance in the cockpit. The company-own upholstery shop created a custom bi-color leather interior crafted from especially soft yet durable black and azure blue Mastik leather.

STARTECH applications from handmade silver exposed carbon for dashboard, center console, door panels, shift **** and emergency brake lever add sporty highlights, as does the ergonomically shaped STARTECH sport steering wheel with airbag.

Brushed stainless-steel sill plates with illuminated STARTECH logo also add exclusive character as do the high-quality STARTECH velour floor mats, the STARTECH cargo cover with partition netting. In addition a Becker navigation system was also integrated in the two-seater's interior.

The STARTECH Coupe V8 6.1 is being hand-built for exhibitions and tests. The vehicle is an absolute unique piece! It´s for driver and also for collectors very interesting!

It runs around 29.000 km and is in a very,very good optical and technical condition!
