Review written on 6/1947.

We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Philadelphia Motors Ninja. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Roadster 2+2 out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the Jotunheimr, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Ninja is better than the 7701. You'll have to read to find out.


On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Ninja suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Roadster 2+2. The Ninja's 118 hp @ 3417RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 15.967s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 105 mph. The Ninja is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 105 mph. We found that with 146 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 718 lbs. When it comes to handling, the Roadster 2+2 segment has very few models that are better than the Philadelphia Motors Ninja. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Roadster 2+2 I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!


Once track testing was over it came time to look at the Philadelphia Motors Ninja's interior. We found that it was very bare bones. So much so that we could not stand to be in it for long. It seems Philadelphia Motors was trying to make something retro by filling the vehicle with decades old styling and gadgets. We recommend looking at other vehicles if you plan on buying a long range vehicle.

The Philadelphia Motors Ninja's 25 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space is plenty for the typical consumer. It is certainly better than average for this type of vehicle. While there are some areas that could be improved all in all we think the Ninja is good.

'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Philadelphia Motors. And they show this off in their Ninja. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.


I imagine it'll be rare to find a Philadelphia Motors Ninja in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Ninja sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Ninja gets an abysmal 15.5 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.

While being safe is important, Philadelphia Motors did not believe it was a priority in the Ninja. The vehicle does provide enough safety features to be consider average for its class. It does not add anything more than that however.


When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Ninja you'll see other Roadster 2+2 on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
