Is This GT8X The BEST CHEAP SUPERCAR You Can Buy? (700-HP DDR GT8X Review)

SdĂ­let

  • čas pƙidĂĄn 18. 06. 2024
  • DDR Motorsport built this 700-horsepower GT8X kit car, and it might just be the BEST CHEAP SUPERCAR we've seen! This affordable exotic is based on a custom frame and powered by a mid-engine 7-liter V8 LSX motor. It has performance coilovers, a Magnaflow exhaust system that sounds incredible, and striking butterfly doors. In this video, we take the DDR Grullon GT8X for a test drive, do a full walkaround and review, and talk with Diego Grullon (the founder of the brand).
    This DDR Grullon GT8X is a pretty rad ride, and it comes at an affordable price too! Is the DDR Motorsport lineup the best cheap kit supercar for sale?

    That car looks fantastic. Personally, I’d like to build it myself. As far as the interior goes, I think I’d opt for a whole set of digital gauges just to break up the landscape of the dashboard. The leather looks really nice and the interior itself it’s VERY nice for a turnkey kit car, for sure.

  • @ericfavors7964

    I like it like this, hardly nothing in the inside. I don’t need all those useless buttons that break or malfunction. For 60k I would want that instead of a GTR WITH JUST A FEW KINKS worked out. It looks like a knockout McLaren.. just give me air conditioning electric windows and of course that performance power and I’m good. Great looking car for the money!!

      I mentioned in the video it wasn't finished yet, but I was still pretty impressed. Yeah, fit and finish will never be as good as mainstream brands, but compared to other kits cars this is top notch. Just my opinion, you can look around the other cars in this market to get an idea for yourself what the standards are.

    Love what DDR is doing. The real question is, why pay 300k when you can pay 60k and get the same performance and get the same looks by everyone. People like to buy name. I bet if this car as it is was made by a bigger brand no one will be finding anything wrong with the car. The Grullon is the next car in my list to buy.

      You hit the nail right on the head especially when I can supply my own suspension, engine and dial in the rest of the cars settings to my taste.
      It's like getting a custom tailored suit, versus just getting some high-end brand off the shelf.
      Sure some people could spent more, and it probably makes them feel good. However going back to the suit analogy I don't care what's the price tag on your suit if it's not tailored... It just looks stupid hanging off your body.

    DDR is the ONLY kit car that MIGHT make sense...as a track car. It's a raw kit and not some corny "exotic" wannabe kit w/ shitty fit/finish. I'll never get why someone would spend $60-70K for a completed corny kit car when they could buy, oh idk, a REAL used exotic for the same. I mean...for $70K you can get a F Type SVR. Why would you want a kit car over that? Makes no sense.

      I think there are quite a few nice track kits out there, from Ultima, Factory Five, Saker, even the RCR Superlite. I agree fit and finish won't be as good as the Jag, but what I like most about DDR is that it straddles the line between track car and show car.

    @QuickshiftCars, the problem with these cars is, they have absurd performance figures... no matter what engine and transmission you put in them... their top speed will always be around 140-160mph...
    Let's see if they keep on doing tests to improve and extend those performances, because as design and kit it's interesting, but the performance section has to be improved a lot (especially if it depends on the chassis, and other elements such as suspensions, stabilizers, etc.). It is not logical to spend 60.000 dollars or more in a kit car with more than 500hp and then its performance will be that of a mid-low range sedan...

      This car was far from road ready, No tune,no Oxygen Sensor installed, no, PCV system installed & other sensors not installed. All this now completed. Sounds GREAT & very powerful. Also with 750 HP & 2900 lbs. Previous car was a Gen 3 Viper, RSI built 522 cu.in.Twin Turbo, 1,000 HP & I believe this car would give it a good run for the Money. :)

    I watched a few Grullion kit car videos. The company needs to work on fit and finish.

      So does every kit car company and boutique supercar maker. Fit and finish are very time consuming and quality-control contingent. Two things that usually go out the door with cars like these, the result of doing a lot with very little.

    No one in the right mind would take this POS when they could get a whole c8 corvette for the same price. Let's be real here this thing has like no features

      C8 Corvette? LOL...If 'Corvette' is what you want to call it. I saw 7 of them stamped out at the last car show alone. No thanks...
