I need a K1 Attack right NOW! I remember seeing these about 15yrs ago in college and had it as my background for many years. Totally forgot about them until seeing this. Thank you for rekindling my love for them.
I'm so glad the B-Racing crew saved this design. I've been drooling over it since I saw the concept drawings in 98/99. I fully intended to build a business around it in 2003, when I was told K1 was going out of business. My goal then, was to offer it with sportbike engines or 4-rotor option, and an electric LSV version.
I build one myself almost 15 yrs ago. In that time it was some puzzle building it, but I guess that should be better right now. A fully assembled build in good condition will cost you around $ 35-50k (depends on options). It will take 200-500 building hours, which depends on your own technical knowledge. So the preassembled car isn't so overpriced in my opinion.
Take whatever you think it will cost, and double it And how long you think it will take you and triple it That's a good starting point for what to expect with a project like this
The GTM never "ruled the world". While I love the car... by the time it made realistic production, there were several lighter/faster/more aerodynamic kitcars with more competent chassis.
This car came into my life 3 times: first was when a rich friend’s dad was looking into getting the kit when the donor car was a Honda Accord with the H22 power plant, second was seeing a full functioning K-1 at the local rod run for sale listed at $76,000, then the third was in 2017 seeing someone that grafted the front end of the K-1 onto a 2nd gen MR2 selling for $7,000.
No review of the Exomotive Exocet yet? I’ve had mine for 3 years and it’s been my primary form of transportation all Spring and Summer. Simple, affordable, reliable, very fast, infinitely customizable and epic head turner. Let me know if you want more info. K1 Attack looks like a rear engine exocet with a body kit. I like it!
You should do a review on the GTM Supercar kit. The company has multiple kit cars and would be a great series but the GTM is by far their best. Out of all the kit cars it’s probably the best performance and overall most basic look.
I have sent 4 emails to this company, two to Petr, one to mechanics on to senior sales. Petr’s were kicked back as “undeliverable” my ask was where I could sit in one of the K-1 cars. Not going to buy an anything without having a look. Car must be on the east coast of the USA!! Thanks Dave
I wish you fanboys would do real research as opposed to just taking info from manufacturers and websites. Talk to people who are building to get the real scoop.
Really though.....what's it to YOU if there are a bunch of little idiots wasting mommy and daddies money? Lol. I DO apologize, though, if I got the wrong idea from what you wrote, it just seemed like you were upset about it.
The kit on it's own may be pretty cheap, but the price of getting everything else would probably add up pretty quickly. It would also take a long time (and I'd assume more money) to put the thing together. Then at the end of all of that... it's still a kit car. This is just my opinion, but I think that you'd be better off just buying an actual car
True but most people that do build kits, its the fact that you have the pride of "Built it Myself", the uniqueness of the car (only 350 in the world) and the ability to customize it the way you want to. I love this kit because its not a replica of anything...so totally unique..that's me.
The Ultima is a nice ride... but "the best" is a point of opinion. Several SLC Ultralights have outperformed every known example of Ultima I'm aware of.
If im not mistaken, This kit could replace my jetta, i totally saw 1.8 turbo vw on the list XD Im dying laughing I think i'll keep my jetta just to officially turn it into something else
I love kit cars bc in my country cars have to be imported but the taxs are super high depending on the engine size without the engine they only charge the 25% so its cheaper in my country
What about the factory 5 racing 818? (818C) street coupe (818S) Street convertible (818R) race Starts at 10,000 grand for the street version 12 for the coupe
I just did a "window shop" and it'll still cost over $20k before you even get it to start building. I was hoping for something closer to the $9k price and then I start building.
Why is there such a large fluctuation in price differences between engine options? The K20c1 option has gone up 3k since this video. I don't understand how different motor mounts justify the higher prices between options? It would be one thing if that specific motor came with the kit, but it doesn't. I think it's overpriced with no way of quantifying if what your getting is actually worth 7k more?
So does it come with lights, rims, air/heat, etc.? And I just have to provide the engine transmission and drive shaft hoses coolant reservoir and other stuff in the sort?
K1 Attack a nice kit but the finish tough from the body work sucks i havew see the are not perfect and need to do a lot off finishing your self and the componets not fit at all and need remodeling also a bit pitty that the not finish it good at all
End a question with a question mark. What's not Whats. I think you meant probably no airbags, which of course they wouldn't as airbags are only used in production vehicles where they're designed for that specific application only. U soun la-z an ignant.
Sorry I mean when are you going to do a video on the Yamaha r1 wait that's not a Yamaha r1 I mean your Yamaha R6 wait that's not a Yamaha R6 when are you going to do a video on your moped
You have no idea what you're talking about. The k1 looks good but it's not a very good kit. It sounds like you're reading a brochure. If you want the best go to Race Car Replicas/Superlite cars. I have a Factory Five GTM and FFR is good performance wise but their bodies are crap.

Oh man, I haven't heard about the K1 attack in over 10 years.
I wanted one since 2000 when I first fell in love with them as a broke college student it was only a dream thank you for making it come true K1

I am currently building a K1 Attack. This review was very rosy. Did you talk to any one that was building one? Truth is a little different
LOL! I remember K1 threatened legal action against your channel. Not a company I would want to work with.
Yikes!
Your build is sweet! Tesla motor, OMG
I love your channel!
I would really like to know more (if not all) about your experience.
Do you have a website? I don't Facebook or Twit.
Take whatever you think it will cost, and double it

Factory Five GTM: "I used to rule the world..."
"The situation is fluid." as is said in the Military.
This thing can't compare to GTM
The factory 5 F9R looks nicer
The GTM never "ruled the world". While I love the car... by the time it made realistic production, there were several lighter/faster/more aerodynamic kitcars with more competent chassis.
@@jessicacopeland1644 i do have a question. Does the donor car needed use the bottom chassis frame as well? Or are they provided?
I recommend talking about the Smyth G3F, very interesting history.
I'll look into it!
why did I read this as Scythe GayF3
I'm liking this recent batch of kit kar vids a lot hahaha

I have a GTM and the body is garbage just so you know, lots of work if you want a nice looking GTM.
Thank you for what you do awesome i enjoy looking at intricate kit cars awesome job. I just don't know which one i like more.
Thanks!

The superlite Slc is still #1💯
Yeah, for real man.
Race Car Replicas / Superlite cars are the best period. I've got a FFR GTM and the performance is there but their bodies are garbage

I want to see it against the Ultima RS! The Ultima IS the BEST!
I might do a video on Ultima soon! It's hard to conpare the two since the RS is much more track-focused, whereas the K-1 is good on the street as well
@@QuickshiftCars the RS is like it's predecessors it be driven on the track as well as the street!
Exactly. The Ultima RS is track ready and street legal. The K1 Attack is either/or.
The Ultima is a nice ride... but "the best" is a point of opinion. Several SLC Ultralights have outperformed every known example of Ultima I'm aware of.
I never knew the K1 Attack was back for sale as a kit!
GREAT channel and great narration!! This is your calling, imho. You're a great presenter and hope you go far 👍👍
Your channel is dope bro
When are you going to do a video of the moped you're laying against
That is a cool kit for sure
Would be an interesting project as a rolling body for an electric battery power train
What happened if you want a roof for the street model?
Wow an R3!
If im not mistaken, This kit could replace my jetta, i totally saw 1.8 turbo vw on the list XD Im dying laughing I think i'll keep my jetta just to officially turn it into something else
Can I put an ls3 in this? How wide can the rear wheels be?
No gaylord engine will fit
Are there any modern non outdated kit cars out there?
I love kit cars bc in my country cars have to be imported but the taxs are super high depending on the engine size without the engine they only charge the 25% so its cheaper in my country
I wonder if it can drive in mid engine instead of rear wheel drive
On their site it shows it with a j37a motor
Is it possible to have it with automatic transmission?
Front bumper: Tesla model s
Rear bumper: Chevy c8 corvette
ever heard of the ultima?
altima？
@@trollbrochina ultima gtr
Needs a LS option
maybe the already have one
Cool moped.
And Yamaha just announced its new 200+ HP electric motors.
What about the factory 5 racing 818?
(818C) street coupe
(818S) Street convertible
(818R) race
Starts at 10,000 grand for the street version 12 for the coupe
What's that?
Man why do you always keep r3 in your back ?
That kit would be dope with a Lexus LFA engine and exhaust
K1 with a K20 BOIIIIIII
Please what website permits you to contact these kit cars companies
After seeing this kit like 20 years ago...I might be able to afford it now
🤦♂️

@@farley9255 buy a crashed subaru and put the drivetrain in the k1 body!
Better than vaydor kit, k1 attack is a full fledged car.
I wouldn't a video game that has all of them
So what does it weigh with a honda engine??
I think the vaydors the god of all kit cars
I want to see a K1 crash safety test

Don’t forget the EV build option. Electric motors and batteries like from salvaged Tesla’s.
Tommykiara zzll is the best kit car for me id say.
Nice ride..
Agreed!
Do you plan on doing this?by the way i am a new subscriber nice vid
Wear can i get to bay the k1 kite the thanks.
Reminds me of a Zenvo
So does it come with lights, rims, air/heat, etc.? And I just have to provide the engine transmission and drive shaft hoses coolant reservoir and other stuff in the sort?
Hmm ... A whole week and no reply should probably unsubscribe
@@trewilliams8789 Hey friend! No it does not come with lights, rims, air/heat. Basically tube frame and fiberglass panels
K1 Attack a nice kit but the finish tough from the body work sucks i havew see the are not perfect and need to do a lot off finishing your self and the componets not fit at all and need remodeling also a bit pitty that the not finish it good at all
Wat do u mean the drive train and engine isn't included.dont u just need a doner honda?
I'd want like a LS or a 5.0 in that lil booger
How much. Whats cash price. Proly no airbags
End a question with a question mark. What's not Whats. I think you meant probably no airbags, which of course they wouldn't as airbags are only used in production vehicles where they're designed for that specific application only. U soun la-z an ignant.
@@carbonfiber8071 shut ur mouth. ultima all the way
Is there a kit car that incorporates the Mitsubishi 4g 63t Motor?
I don't know if there are any kits made specifically for that motor, but since it's pretty small it could probably be made to fit in a lot of chassis.
Interesting
This is a cool toy, however, for the price of this you can get a shelby daytona FF 65
Looks like Torismo R from GTA5
What about now in 2024?
Is it available September 7th 2024?
It's funny this guy explains exotic cars while riding a r3 lol lol lol lol .
I think I'm going to get a kit car
I would never
But can I put a hellcat motor in it? 🤔
Overhyped, oversized and overpriced are hellcat Engines.
これカッコいい‼️欲しい😸‼️
Better shock absorbers
THE RCR KIT CAR?????
The eastern Europeans can design nice cars but they become scarce. There was a Camero body kit but i bet you can't find one
Or corvette
K1 Still owes me a 10 second car.
Yay
I know you've been waiting for this one! Hope you enjoyed 😉
@@QuickshiftCars i always do thanks for making these
SLC all the way
FFR GTM or 818, Ultima RS, Superlite SLC or GTR, DF Goblin or Exomotive Exocet or Exovette...there are a ton of great if not better kits than the K1.
Doug DeMuro Jr.
... RHD 🤔 ?
Do they make Custom exhaust? It sound horrible. Lol
I'm assuming because it's a custom kit car, you can. Just check the websitr
Why ugli tailight ?
Nah I get a goblin.
Sorry I mean when are you going to do a video on the Yamaha r1 wait that's not a Yamaha r1 I mean your Yamaha R6 wait that's not a Yamaha R6 when are you going to do a video on your moped

Better than most replica ferrari based on MR2 xD
@@mrjdmtunerboy.1463 this is not a replica. You can’t compare them. And yes, it’s ugly. Reminds me of the Honda S2000.
