Drop a Daewoo Magnus from a great enough height, and something rather interesting happens. In the video below, Daewoo explains the Magnus effect, and why the phenomenon can cause a car with very little appeal to sell even if it’s shit.

On a second note, the Magnus was rebadged as the Verona for the US, wasn’t it?

It didn’t sell very well here at all...

Here it was sold as the Chevy Epica, I don’t know a Porsche developed I6 doesn’t sound bad at all.

But 155hp from a I6? That sounds terrible considering a N/A Volvo Modular I-5 gets about 18 more hp...If I really wanted an I6 I’d prefer a really cheap S80 T6 and deal with the transmission issues than have to drive an Epica/Verona...
