feb 13, 2005 - 2005 GTH Automotive Glide Executive

Description:

Originally made for a European Automotive Competition, the Glide Executive fared well and became enormously successful. It's biggest demographics were middleclass families and government agencies.

The Glide was praised for it's engine. It's a 3.2L turbo inline 6, making 484 hoprsepower and over 500 Nm of torque. It's very quick of it's feet, partly thanks to a sophisticated AWD system and a 6 gear advanced automatic gearbox.

The car's tagline was "Why choose between comfort and performance, when you can have both". It did live up to it's name as it was quite fast, yet comfortable, although if taken to a track it did suffer from understeer, unsurprisingly, being almost 2 ton.

Price at launch in 2005:
$41.200
