GT5 Transcripts/Isuzu 117 COUPE '68

Many people would award the title of "the most beautiful Japanese car"An unnecessary use of double quotations is used in the game. to the 117 Coupe. Everyone gasped at its figure when it was unveiled at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show, and in particular, the round headlight model produced until 1977An unnecessary comma is placed between "1977" and "is" is considered one of the leading cars in Japan in terms of graceful styling.
Car design maestro Giorgetto Giugiaro worked on a great number of Japanese cars. One of the first designs that he drew after moving to Turin's Carrozzeria Ghia as the young star designer, was the 117. At first, mass-producing the beauty of the 117 Coupe was thought to be impossible. However, betraying that expectation, Isuzu was able to bring it to the market in 1968 as the single best luxury passenger car in Japan.
The fact that only 50 were manufactured per month was another factor of exclusivity that got the consumers stirring. Because it was built exactly like the show model, the productivity of some of the components was very low, making it impossible to speed up production.
The engine at the time of its release was a 1.6L DOHC, common with the highest grade model of the Bellett. With twin-choke Solex carburetors common in sports models, it produced 118 HP. Later, it is increased in size to 1.8L and 2.0L, but due to the rising emissions restrictions, there was no significant increase in performance. In 1973, production quantity was expanded to the 1000's.
The 117 was a breakthrough in that it brought in beauty and luxury to the world of Japanese cars, which had seen nothing but utility and functionality during its growth. It was continued to the produced until 1981, and toward the end of production, a limited "Giugiaro" version named after its designer was also released.
