Flanker F: which version to buy (2018 7.0 MT)

There is only one Flanker F to choose: the 7.0 MT from 1 generation (2018-01-01 to 2018-12-31), a Coupe with 800 hp (588 kW), 7000 cc Gasoline, 8 V-shaped cylinders, Manual 5, RWD, and 1030 kg kerb weight. No second engine, no automatic, no restyling, no later generation.

There is only one Flanker F to choose: the 7.0 MT from 1 generation (2018-01-01 to 2018-12-31), a Coupe with 800 hp (588 kW), 7000 cc Gasoline, 8 V-shaped cylinders, Manual 5, RWD, and 1030 kg kerb weight. No second engine, no automatic, no restyling, no later generation. The buying question is not “which Flanker F” but whether this single catalogue line matches what you want, measured against its own numbers.

Which Flanker F version exists

7.0 MT is the only modification in the data. Same name, same power: there is no second 7.0 MT with a different horsepower figure to disambiguate. Production of both the generation and this version is 2018-01-012018-12-31. Body is Coupe. Count of generations: 1. Count of versions in that generation: 1.

If a listing is not labelled 7.0 MT, it is not this catalogue model as given here.

Generations: what changed (and what did not)

1 generation is the whole story. Years: 2018-01-01 to 2018-12-31. Body: Coupe. Versions: 1 (7.0 MT). No restyling block sits beside it; there is no later generation to absorb a facelift into.

Nothing in the data shows a second generation that added gears, switched drive, cut weight, or changed displacement. Arithmetic between generations is therefore empty: there is no “gen 2 vs gen 1” horsepower delta, no kerb-weight change, no gearbox step from 5 to anything else. The extra year of a later Flanker F does not exist in this set.

Engine and specs (the only line)

VersionhpNmDisplacement (cc)FuelCylindersLayoutBoostGearboxDrive
7.0 MT800not measured7000Gasoline8V-shapednot measuredManual 5RWD

7.0 MT is Gasoline, 7000 cc, 8 cylinders, V-shaped. Boost is not measured (not omitted: the field is empty). Peak torque (Nm) is not measured. rpm for power and torque: not measured. Valves per cylinder, engine location, fuel system, compression, bore and stroke, and fuel grade: not measured.

Gearbox on 7.0 MT is Manual with 5 gears. Drive is RWD. There is no automatic sibling and no AWD sibling to trade against.

Power in kilowatts on 7.0 MT is 588 kW. That is the same version as 800 hp, not a second tune.

Engine: power per litre on 7.0 MT

Displacement 7000 cc is 7.0 litres in the version name 7.0 MT.

Those ratios describe this one engine, not a comparison with a smaller Flanker F, because a smaller Flanker F is not in the data. You cannot buy a “less specific output” or “more specific output” Flanker F here; you buy 114.3 hp/L or you do not buy this model.

Because Nm is not measured, torque per litre is not measured. A “high torque, low rpm” vs “peaky” choice is not supported by numbers.

Weight per horsepower: the only real trade-off number

Kerb weight of 7.0 MT is 1030 kg. Gross vehicle weight is not measured.

That is the mass-to-power figure for the only version. There is no heavier luxury spec and no stripped spec in the table to compare. Ground clearance is not measured, so you cannot pick a “higher” Flanker F. Wheel sizes are not measured, so you cannot pick a wheel-and-tyre package from this catalogue.

Front suspension on 7.0 MT: Independent, leaf spring. Rear suspension: not measured. Front brakes: Ventilated disc. Rear brakes: not measured. Those labels do not split into two trims; they attach to 7.0 MT alone.

Performance and economy (mpg, 0-100)

For 7.0 MT:

MPG and 0-100 cannot decide the purchase from this file. Combined, urban, and extra-urban are all not measured; inventing a US mpg figure would not be a catalogue fact. If a seller quotes 0-100 or mpg, that quote is outside this dataset.

Dimensions and weight

What is measured for 7.0 MT:

Payload (gross minus kerb) is not measured because gross is not measured. You cannot choose a “higher payload” Flanker F from these numbers.

Problems and reliability: what the data does and does not support

The data does not list fault rates, recalls, or service intervals. Reliability as a scored comparison between versions is not measured. With one version, there is also no “avoid the early auto” or “prefer the later diesel” split.

What you can still use as a buying filter, because it is labelled:

If you need documented 0-100, mpg, tank, or clearance, this catalogue line does not supply them; that is a reason to walk away from 7.0 MT as specified here, not a reason to fill gaps from another car.

Which version to choose — arithmetic on the given numbers

Choose 7.0 MT if you want the only Flanker F that exists in this set: Coupe, 1 generation, calendar 2018-01-012018-12-31, 800 hp / 588 kW, 7000 cc Gasoline, 8 V-shaped, Manual 5, RWD, 1030 kg kerb, 114.3 hp/L, 1.29 kg/hp.

Do not look for another Flanker F version in this catalogue. There is no second name (no 7.0 AT, no other displacement string). There are not two 7.0 MT rows at different horsepower. Extra money cannot be mapped to extra gears, extra driven wheels, or extra litres: those extras are not in the data, and prices are not in the data.

What a “later generation” would have to beat. Any future Flanker F is not here. Against 7.0 MT, a later car would have to show a measured change in hp, kW, cc, gearbox type or 5-speed count, drive, or kerb weight before it could be called an upgrade in this schema. Until then, 7.0 MT is both the entry and the range-topper: 800 hp is 100% of the model’s peak, 7000 cc is 100% of the model’s displacement, 1030 kg is 100% of the measured kerb figures.

What you are not choosing. You are not choosing between city mpg and highway mpg (both not measured). You are not choosing 0-100 ( not measured ). You are not choosing tank size or wheels (not measured). You are not choosing front vs rear drive mix (RWD only). You are not choosing cylinder count (8 only) or layout (V-shaped only).

Check the badge against the table. The version name to match on a plate or advert is exactly 7.0 MT. Confirm 800 hp (and 588 kW if quoted), 7000 cc, Gasoline, Manual 5, RWD, Coupe, production inside 2018-01-012018-12-31. If power, displacement, gearbox, or drive disagrees with that row, it is not the Flanker F modification this article describes.

Bottom line. Buy 7.0 MT as the sole Flanker F: 800 hp, 588 kW, 7000 cc, 8 V-shaped, Gasoline, Manual 5, RWD, 1030 kg, 1 generation Coupe for 2018. Skip the model if you required a measured 0-100, mpg, Nm, tank, clearance, gross weight, or a second version to compare — those are not measured or not present, not hidden in another trim name.
