Daewoo does not build many cars like the Daewoo FX212 Super Cruiser: a Single-decker bus, built from 2007 in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids.
Where it came from
The Daewoo FX212 Super Cruiser (hangul:대우 FX212 슈퍼 크루저) (later renamed in 2017 as the Daewoo FX212 Super Star (hangul:대우 FX212 슈퍼 스타)) is a heavy-duty luxury coach manufactured by the South Korean bus producer Daewoo. It was introduced in November 2007, part of the FX series of current coaches that started with the FX115 and FX116 Cruising Arrow, and the FX120 Cruising Star. It is primarily available as luxury hi-decker tourist buses.
It is assembled in Ulsan, South Korea. It is distinguishable by an 'FX212 Super Cruiser' or 'FX212 Super Star' badge, but the common Daewoo badge is usually on the rear. Principal competitors has been both the Hyundai Universe and Kia Granbird.
Under the skin
The record carries the shape — a Single-decker bus — and the layout: the engine hangs behind the rear axle, a layout that gives ferocious traction out of a corner and a reputation to match on the way in. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.
In context
Where it sits in Daewoo's history is not in doubt: the Daewoo BH120F came before it. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Nissan GT-R, the Hyundai i30, the Volkswagen Tiguan. Nearby in the Daewoo catalogue sit the Daewoo Honker 2000 and the Daewoo Arcadia.
