Chinese automaker Brilliance has launched the BC3 coupe in its home market. Shown earlier this year at the Geneva Auto Show, the BC3 is powered by a 170 horsepower turbocharged 1.8L engine mated to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. Brilliance claims the powertrain in the BC3 yields a 0-60 time of 9.7 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph. The BC3 will start at $15,000 and option out at $21,400.
What makes the BC3 newsworthy is that fact that Brilliance is planning on selling the car in Europe in 2008 and may bring the car to the U.S. market after that. Brilliance passed Euro NCAP crash testing earlier this year — though with its BS6 sedan — and has yet to begin NHTSA testing.
