Ken Okuyama K07 by Spark
We took a look at the sister concept to
this one by ex-Pinifarina designer Ken
Okayama in the last issue and here
we see the open car that is available
to order by the public. The KO8 was
electric but this lightweight roadster is
powered by a two-litre, four-cylinder
engine, giving an overall concept very
similar to the Lotus 340R or Arial Atom.
The styling is apparently influenced by the Japanese Katana sword and we see
much polished metal and raw carbon, all of which has been neatly replicated
on the model.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
