Etox is the first Turkish automobile manufacturer dedicated exclusively to building sports cars. The company is based in Ankara, Turkey. Its first model, the Etox Zafer, is the second Turkish sports car after the Anadol STC-16, which was produced from 1973 to 1975.

Prototype

Designing the Etox Zafer took 6 months after testing and surveying among hundreds of prototypes. The latest prototype was created by 46 Turkish engineers in 2 years. The 100,000 kilometer quality tests of the Etox Zafer were completed in 2007.

Mass production

The license for mass production of the Etox Zafer was granted by the Turkish Government in 2007.[1] The Zafer is to be assembled in Turkey, with engines built by French, German and Swedish auto manufacturers, though Etox plans to develop its own engines in the near future.[1] The 1.5 liter diesel engine which produces Script error: No such module "convert". is a Renault engine with slight ECU modifications; the 3.0 liter diesel engine which produces Script error: No such module "convert". is a BMW engine; while the 3.0 liter gasoline engine which produces Script error: No such module "convert". is a Volvo engine.[1] Apart from the three standard engines, a Script error: No such module "convert". engine is also available for special orders.[1]

The Etox Zafer costs between 85,000 and 150,000 TL (10,000 and 18,000 USD) depending on the model and engine type.[1]
