After a long hiatus, I am happy to report that Camoria is back and ready to dominate the road and track of the Automation world. We have two cars featured today, a face-lifted model and a brand-new addition to the Camoria line-up. We hope you like what we have to offer today, and will stop by the regular thread to see all that Camoria has offered in the past!
[size=200]Camoria Phase-X Design[/size]
[size=150]Front Fascia[/size]:
If I were to give a word to describe the design intentions of this car, it would be “drama.” We wanted the car to strike you with its appearance with a combination of hard and soft edges. What you will first notice about the car is perhaps the headlights. They are a harking back to traditional Camoria design but still very daring. The edges of the headlights are very sharp yet at the same time they are blown back for an aerodynamic look. In regards to the grille, it is the first non-Camoria grille we have put on a car in a very long time. It is actually a reference to our older rallying days (we intend to showcase some of those models in the upcoming days). It too is a combination of hard and soft edges. The top of the grille itself is rounded off but the notch at the bottom spikes up sharply, giving a very dramatic look. The louvres on the hood follow the natural lines of the car, something which we consider very important when designing anything. The color choice is a reference to the Camoria Phase VIII, one of our most successful cars.
[size=150]Side Profile[/size]:
The designers wanted to incorporate as much classic-Camoria design cues as they could in the car, so you will notice that there is a modified version of the Camoria Venti-Ports on the rear quarter panel of the car. These, like the louvres on the hood, follow the natural flowing lines of the car, giving the entire profile a very forward appearance.
[size=150]Rear Fascia[/size]:
With the back end of the car, we were looking to give it a very stanced look. Every feature on the rear of the car is low and wide. The taillights are painstakingly designed to give a lot of texture. A dramatic line of chrome stretches outward from the badge toward the edge of the intakes, which serves as both a cut-off point for the taillights but also as a means of conveying both the drama and the stance of the car.
Stats:
The engine is a 3.5L V8 designed in-house.
Phase-X will retail for less than $100,000. With Phase-X, a person can have power and prestige for far less than some competitors.

[size=200]Design[/size]:
[size=150]Front Fascia[/size]:
The front of the car takes classic Camoria design but twists them. For example, the headlights are actually an interpretation of the taillight design, by means of taking small individual lights and combining them to form one large one. They are sculpted by the shape of the vent which surrounds them.
[size=150]Side Profile[/size]:
The vents on the rear quarter panel are both for function and for form. In reality, the function is to cover up a glitch in the graphics, but they serve as a sweeping gesture towards the front to give the car a forward dynamic look.
[size=150]Rear Fascia[/size]:
The rear end of the car follows similar design cues as the Phase-X above. The taillights are of similar design, but instead of the individual lights going vertically, these go horizontally, adding a perception of width to a car that is actually quite compact. This car being a midsize sedan, it is important to stress largeness without actually making the car large. The car also has the strip of chrome stretching from the center badging, which, in the case, almost makes it look like the wings of a bird stretching out. The louvres from the side profile also provide a curvature to the car which we find quite unique.

This 2.8L I4 is also made in-house (but we welcome engine designs from many manufacturers).
Thank you very much for visiting the Camoria booth and we hope you think highly of what we have put forth today. It feels great to be back in such a tremendously supportive, active, and caring community of car-nerds.
