Singapore-assembled Subaru rally cars to be distributed regionally
ADVERTISEMENT
SINGAPORE: Singapore's first foray into motor car assembly went into first gear on Monday.
The rally cars were put through their tests and passed with flying colours.
Its maker, Subaru, would ramp up production hitting up to 15 cars a month by next year.
Sentosa's Gateway car park was the venue where the rally cars roared into action.
From handbrake turns, to jumping over a ramp or even drifting, the cars did not fail to impress.
More significantly, the two rally cars are the first to be locally assembled at Toa Payoh.
More will roll off the assembly line starting next month and distributed regionally.
Glenn Tan, Chief Executive of Motor Image Enterprises, said: "Some of the problems we encountered were lack of skilled workers in the beginning, so we flew in a lot of overseas experts from New Zealand and Japan to teach us. We also had a bit of difficulty finding the right kind of tools because car assembly is not popular at all in Singapore."
Help came from the Economic Development Board which got the local industry involved.
The Board is also providing training grants to bring in expertise and train talent in Singapore.
The rally cars were not the only highlights on show.
Precision stunt driver, Russell Swift, also displayed his heart-stopping driving skills for the upcoming Singapore Motor Show.
Besides his signature two-wheel driving, the veteran stunt driver also plans to break a world record.
Swift said: "I set the record - it is 16.07 seconds to complete 10 complete revolutions with a car and that record was broken earlier this year and I am out to get the record back."
For more of such stunts, the public can head to the motor show which starts on Friday at Suntec City. - CNA/so -
