With the new
Robocop film currently in the cinemas and having gone back to watch the
original thought it might be good to take a look at one of the cars of the
future, the 6000 SUX. Seen in the film in an advert as well as being driven by
the bad guys before being blown up!!!
First off there
are a few debates going on around the name, 6000 SUX, one being that if read
through squinted eyes it read GOOD SUX hence why only the bad guys drive it.
The other one is it refers to the Pontiac 6000 the main competitor to the Ford
Taurus, the car the police drive in the film. The car its self was a 1977
Oldsmobile Cutlass with a new fibreglass body applied for the film and I’m sure
even that did better MPG than the advert showed at 8.2!!!!! For filming 2 complete
cars were produced by Gene Winfield of Winfield Rod & Custom, love the asymmetrical rear lights
Today though the car of the future is looking a little bit unloved. If anyone has better picture os the car in its hey day then please get in touch.
