Ladies and gentlemen, the moment every track fan has been waiting for. The Adelaide rethinked, redesigned, refined and released. KHT is proud to bring you the Augusta.

We have asked our clients and we worked with trackday specialists, and we have created what is the best track day car you can find on the market. No more expensive carbon fiber, all the parts are made of aluminium, which lowers the price and cheapens repairs. Powered by an updated i4 that was found in the Adelaide, this car still produces 340hp, but now uses just 6.9l/100km. The 0-100 time is 3.6 seconds, while top speed is 270 kph. We have worked to not only retain the performance of the car Augusta replaces, but to also make it more affordable to the masses. The result is a car that weighs jut over 1 ton, corners at 1.25g, and costs only $35,000.

Hello and welcome to Airborne Automotive stand. We’re Polish company that produces cars from 1948 and today we want to present to you our newest models and some historical ones to show how the company was doing at those moments.

Today we present to you new models. First one is Xy’s new generation to replace one produced from 2015. Don’t worry, all orders for previous gen will be done and the car will be in production to 2017 just to fulfill orders. New generation, however will be produced like previous one: in variants of Standard one, Sport (S), GT and GTS to take heritage and unused body panels from Xy GT Sport tuned by Battalion Tuning Team. Engines will be also new, since previous ones couldn’t pass the emissions test. New engines are 1998cc Inline 4 with turbocharging in all variants up to GT and 2200cc V6 with twin turbo in GTS. Talking about statistics would be pretty useless, since you can see them on the stand.
If we talk about pricing, we can tell that first propositions (may change later) for the prices are:
Standard: 16.120 $
S: 21.930 $
GT: 26.620 $
GTS: 32.290 $

Next car is Megi Twin Turbo. You may remember normal Megi, our newest V12 monster that reutilizes many parts from Centenario and Cerberus and has whooping score of almost 800 hp from NA engine? Well, we had also plans for other cars from Megi line. One of them is twin turbo. Practically track-limited monster with economy of steam train, 1500 hp on rear wheels and big ass spoiler? What do you need more? By the way, car is supposed to go almost 400 km/h and needs approx 2.5-2.7 seconds to 100 km/h.
Price is unknown, will probably be over million dollars per unit.

Next car on the show is our brand new model: after creations of Ray Automobiles and RZ Automotive, our sister brands, finally we could also make a city car, and when RZ focused on compactness and city usage in Aranaut, Ray focused on basic equipment and drivability on their Senpai, we, at Airborne focused on making our city car sportier. This is interior-wise and chassis-wise twin of RZ Aranaut and Ray Senpai - but different idea. This car has inline 4 with 150 (!) hp which gives it serious punch. For now it will be available in only one trim, for 13.260 $.

Now let’s focus on historical cars - this strange minivan that you see is third generation and last one of Airborne Omicron produced from 1988 to 1994. Despite strange looks and even more stranger performance for minivan in segment of Pontiac Trans Sport it sold extremely well (like Omicron Mk1), because it fitted perfectly in lifestyle of racing drivers that also just created their families. Omicron MK3 is also one of few Airbornes to ever feature hydropneumatic suspension. It’s powerplant was turbocharged 3.0 litre V6 that generated 260 hp on 5000 RPM. It’s also probably the only Airborne (in pre-2000 era) that could seat 7 passengers in standard and had sliding doors. It’s also the only model which production was moved from Los Angeles, USA plant to Warsaw, Poland plant and was second car after Synth to be produced fully in Poland (from 1989).
Funfact: it’s speedometer is scaled to 300 km/h, but don’t be hyped, it doesn’t reach those speeds 250 km/h from hill was it’s maximum.

The last car we want to present to you today is 1998 Airborne Synth GT1 Stradale. In 1994 some spy photographers discovered prototype marked as Synth RS. Of course, we’ve planned Synth RS, but in 1996 due to massive costs and possibility to convert it into GT1 racer it was scrapped. After four years development in total Synth GT1 was presented. Despite two years after Synth’s production cut (which happened in 1996) it still reutilised it’s name for reason that it used many parts from this mid-size car. Synth GT1 in it’s racing spec raced in only one race: 24h Le Mans qualifying. After this race it was classified by FIA as terrifying, impossible to beat and too insane to race and got instantly banned. Company was left with 10 unused bodies, which got converted into street versions. Even in street specs, GT1 was insanely fast machine - it could easily beat Porsche 911 GT1 Strassenversion and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, not speaking about Nissan R390. It featured 5,5 litre V8 flatplane which generated insane 673 hp on 5800 RPM. Combined with almost zero wheelspin, this thing was launching like from crossbow. It was also one of first Airbornes to massively use carbon fiber in it’s body and pushrod suspension. Despite it’s racing roots it was pretty useable as long-distance GT, only if you could suffer V8 sound behind your back. At it’s time Synth GT1 wasn’t cheap - it costed 500.000 $, and we also have info about whereabouts of all 10 units:
#1: stands at Airborne Automotive museum in Warsaw
#2 (this one with sprayed GT1 on it’s back): stands in CEO’s private collection
#3: belongs to Los Angeles collector
#4: totaled after accident in 2004
#5: not perfectly known, but probably one of KHT’s or BTT’s engineers owned it back in past (not sure about it, just rumors, we lost track after this car in 2008)
#6 to #8 (not painted ones): belong in order to Jay Leno, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sabine Schmitz
#9 (only green one with stripes): belongs to Jeremy Clarkson
#10: totaled after accident on the track in Abu Dhabi
#11 (race spec): stands at Airborne museum’s secret sections; not presented to public

Today is the official relaunch of Evgenis Automobiles and we are proud to announce the first of our brand new lineup of 12 vehicles that will be announced throughout the year: the Evgenis Typhon.

So without further ado, here it is!

2016 EVGENIS TYPHON

Design
The relaunch of Evgenis has brought with it a new design language that is still typically Evgenis. The new design is dominated by the new “lightning bolt” LED strip that runs through the headlights, a feature that will be appearing on all models, a long with the traditional angular grille design with chrome highlights and a large Evgenis badge sat in the centre. This sporty, angular design is rounded of with more smooth, curvy and elegant features that indicate the more luxurious and elegant side to all cars in this brand. This design language is also clearly present towards the rear of the car, especially on the GT model that we are showing here today with it’s dual exhausts and boot spoiler. All of this is rounded off by a sleek, aerodynamic, coupe-like body to really prove that we are seriously taking design into consideration

Engines
A wide range of turbocharged petrol and turbocharged diesel engines will be available from launch, but the star of the show is the current range-topping engine found in the GT model here. The 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 engine roars all the way up to a glorious 8000 rpm and produces a hefty 375 bhp, allowing this car to perform a considerably rapid 0-100 kph time of just 5.2 seconds, meaning that you’ll never have any issues when it comes to getting somewhere in a hurry. Engines start with the base 1.5-litre turbocharged engine that produces 150 bhp up to the range topping engine found in the GT model. For diesel buyers, either 2.0-litre or 3.0-litre engines are available ranging from 150 bhp to 290 bhp. As well as being sweet performers, efficiency hasn’t been forgotten about with our tests showing that the base petrol engine should be able to offer you 6.58 l/100 km in real world driving and on the European cycle is claimed to achieve 5.2 l/100 km. Our diesel engines are even more impressive with the base diesel capable of using under 4 litres of fuel to travel 100 km according to the European cycle. More information on engines available on the Evgenis thread here.

Technology
Evgenis has been working hard on offering all the latest tech and driver aids across the entire range and the new Typhon will launch all of our latest offerings. A brand new 7.5" touch screen infotainment system is available as standard and an upgraded 10" version is available as an option or as standard with the Executive and GT trim levels. This new system is the most logical and easy-to-use system we have developed yet with a clear, crisp display that’s easy to read and understand that comes with a manual scroll wheel controller with shortcut buttons that give you quick access to all the main features of the system without having to touch the screen. On top of this, the new 11.5" CDC (configurable digital cockpit) comes as standard on all trims which, as the name suggests, is configurable to the user’s desires. This screen also gives you access to a number of features available on the infotainment display. Evgenis has also fitted a large number of driving aids to the car that allow the car to steer, accelerate and brake the car to safety depending on the system fitted and when the car deems it necessary. Another feature the Typhon showcases is our solution to the Opel OnStar system that brings multiple features to the car, such as 4G internet access, automatic emergency callout, and even an app that shows you key information about your car on your smartphone and other portable devices. More information on standard equipment and other specifications on the Evgenis thread here.

Interior
As an upmarket brand, we want to offer an interior that uses high quality materials that are put together in a high quality manner that is also as user friendly as possible. As stated already, the cars two displays are easily configurable as well as easy to use so that you can have things exactly how you would like them. The multifunction steering wheel allows you to control certain features, such as the cruise control (or adaptive cruise control), bluetooth system and audio system as well as the CDC. Although many features are controlled by the infotainment system, the climate controls and certain audio controls are still controlled by clearly labelled buttons and switches so that you don’t have to access everything through the infotainment display. Throughout the cabin on all models, a blend of brushed aluminium, leather and high quality plastics are used to make the cabin look and feel luxurious and elegant, and the GT model we showcase today has some added sporty touches to remind you as to what model you are in.

Driving
The new Typhon offers the most advanced package in it’s class with double wishbone front suspension and multilink rear suspensions along with adjustable damping settings as standard. This allows you to control how you want the car to drive simply by turning a switch into one of the five driving modes available (Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport+) that not only controls the damping but a whole range of features to give you the exact experience you want. Evgenis always focuses on the comfort of its passengers, so no matter what mode you choose, the car will always remain a comfortable cruiser, but that does not come to the detriment of handling. In sportier modes, not only will this handle well but it will feel like a true sports car thanks to the responsive controls that offer as much feedback as possible without seeming artificial. The GT model has some added aerodynamic trickery up its sleeve to offer an even more engaging experience, along with an extra driving mode aptly named “GT” for ultimate driving pleasure. In fact, the GT model laps the Top Gear Test Track in just over 1m23s.

For more information about pricing and other specifications, head to the Evgenis Automobiles thread here.

Available in dealerships across the globe as of May 2016 from £26,995 in the UK, €34,000 in a number of European nations and $36,750 in the USA (larger engine as standard).

This time ManHell will not show a new model, instead, we have come with some classics and/or notable cars (in ManHell’s history, at least).

We took a look on the Ferro 350 TS, a turbocharged coupe that was one of the most acclaimed sport cars built by ManHell, althought it lacked some interior options and refinement, nowadays a classic.

Falconete S. It was quite popular thanks to its price–performance ratio.

Sigma 365 PS (premium edition). An all-round 2+2 with retro style.

Luxor A (130). It was the 2nd generation of this long-lived model that increased the prestige of the brand as well as its consolidation in the luxury segment.

Pyros VTS (665). The last super sport car fully built by ManHell Automotive, although under the advisement from MHS (involved on Heill project).

Tagra 74 TR. At first it was going to be only a concept car but finally, and thanks to a cooperative work between MHA and MHS, it became a limited production car . There were built 626 units, 101 units of K74 version (made on request) and 525 units of 674 version.

Being a rara avis, it shows up from time to time in the expos.

Hello, and welcome to the New York International Auto Show. I’m Evan from Upshift magazine and today I’ll be reviewing over pre-show releases. Who’s ready to go?

[size=150]-Miller-[/size]
The first company to release a car was Miller with the Miller Decimator. With a sinister name and an equally sinister choice of engines, a 5.6 liter twin-turbo V8 or a naturally aspirated 7.1 liter V12, the Decimator appears to be ready to, well, decimate the track. Styling-wise, it’s easy to see that Miller made sure the the Decimator was as menacing as possible. The Decimator should go for under $110,000, which is considerably less than the competition. I can’t wait to review one of these.

The next car revealed by Miller soon after was the 181 MS-4. Like the Decimator, it appears to be a car whose sole purpose is to supply fun. However, it seems to achieve it in a different way; the Decimator is pure power. The 181 is pure handling. In the middle of the car lies a turbocharged 2.0 liter inline-4 with nearly 270 HP. 0-60 is claimed to be under 4 seconds, and gas mileage is an EPA rated 32 MPG combined. This looks to be the future of sports cars. Hopefully, it will, because the 181 looks great. The 181 will start at $52,000.

[size=150]-KHT-[/size]
A crowd favorite, KHT has released the successor to the popular Adelaide; the Augusta. With looks that would scare any 4-year-old, the Augusta packs the same 4-Cylinder in the Adelaide that has been re-tuned to make the same amount of power but is more economical than the Adelaide. Interestingly, the claimed weight of the Augusta is just over 1 metric ton, or 2,200 pounds. Even more intriguing, however, is the $35,000 price tag. This will surely be a hit in the states. By the way, I want one.

[size=150]-Airborne-[/size]
Airborne released several new cars at New York. The first one of these was the confusingly named Airborne Xy, which replaces the last-generation Xy released but a year ago. This speedy update reveals a similar formula to past Xys (Xy’s? Xys?) being one of the few hatchbacks with RWD. The car itself it quite stylish if a bit blank on the rear. I’m still looking for the tailights. Power ranges from 142 HP in the base trim and 286 HP in the GTS trim. Prices range from $16,120 to $32,290.

Next was the Airborne Mimas. A car based off of Airborne’s sub-brands Ray and RZ, the Mimas is a turbocharged, RWD, 150 HP city car. This car must be impossibly fun to drive, but I can’t imagine that it’s easy to drive. I’m still excited nonetheless. Prices start at a frugal $13,260.

Airborne also had a little difficulty today. planned to appear was the Megi Twin Turbo, but it appears that the car has mysteriously gone M.I.A (Missing In Action). In addition, Airborne showcased some of their classic cars. Let’s see what’s next up for today!

[size=150]-Evgenis-[/size]
Evgenis returns after a nearly 1-year hiatus in the market of cars. Now, they appear to be better than ever. Their first new car released in the all-new Evgenis Typhon. Not to confused with the high-performance GMC truck of the 90’s, the Typhon is a compact sports sedan to take on the likes of the BMW 3-Series, Jaguar XE, Audi A4, and Rennen Angeles. Although economy figures are currently only for the European market, there will be multiple gasoline and diesel engines available from start. The Typhon starts at $36,750.

[size=150]-Manhell-[/size]
Manhell has released the Tagra 74 TR at New York this year. There’s a limited edition named the K74 while the 674 will be produced in bigger numbers. The styling is as ominous as the power numbers would suggest; 660 and 1000 HP, respectively. When these fall into my hands, I’m sure to give it a good go.

That’s all for today! I can’t wait to see reveals on the first day of the press.

[thecarlover]

Diamond Automotive would like to present the 2017 Peridotite!

[quote]Dilessi S.p.A. will present tomorrow, the 24th march, the 408 1300 LR. The companys first ever made rear engined car. It is based on the Dilessi 408 and was produced just a few times from 1955 to 1958. Dilessi fully restored the first ever made car of this type by only using original spare parts. It´ll feature a 1.3L V8 engine with 86 hp and 121 Nm of torque. This sounds not much, but with just 750 kg it is a very light car and on of the best sports cars of it´s era. Despite a top speed of under 200 km/h and about 10 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, it is the most agile Dilessi build till the end of the 50´s. Because of this fact, it was way quicker around every test track, than the more powerful 408 base version. Also it was just $5.000 more expensive than the 408B, but you´ve had to register to become on of just 250 owners of the car all around the world. This #1 out of 251 build Dilessi 408 1300 LR has now a approx. value of $1.384.000.

On March, 25th Dilessi will show the second restored vehicle. The Dilessi 516 Monoposto Concetto. A unique build concept car from 1965 equipped with a F1 engine of that time. Because of a new reglement it was only allowed to build 1.5L naturally aspired engines for the Formula 1 from 1965 on and also Dilessi build one. This V8 was able to produce 220 hp and revving up to 10.000 rpm. It was fitted in a stripped down Dilessi 516 to get an overall weight of under 850 kg. While the engine had about 20 hp less than the Ferrari V12 F1 engine, this car became a hell of a sports car. Dilessi tested the car in 1965 without the public and told the car was able acclerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds and had a top speed of over 250 km/h. On the standard test track Dilessi was able to be 20 seconds faster than the 1300 LR and scored a time under 2:25. This concept car had nearly no wheelspin despite it´s powerful engine and in order to that had nearly always a neutral behaviour. In 1965 was sad, that the car would cost nearly $400.000 to be build. You want to know which price tag the restored car would have? Unprizable!

On March 26th Dilessi will open it´s doors of a new costumer engine department. ‘EDE - Emilo Dilessi Engines’ will make customer engines designed for more reliability than it´s own used engine, but as a benefit the engines will provide less power than in the Dilessi cars. First offers will conclude only historical and fully restored engines from 1955 to 1965. But more modern will come. Not just powerful engines, also reliable and smooth engines for every day cars will be offered in the next months.

And finally on March 27th Dilessi got a little suprise for every one. They will show a first concept of a more recent car: The Dilessi 1000. Dilessi teases just a few details about it: 1000 hp, 1000 Nm, 1000 kg. It isn´t expected to see the final version of the Dilessi 1000, but the company will show, that this goal is reachable.[/quote]

[size=200]CERVUS[/size]

Here is our contribution to this year’s New York Auto Show – The all new 300 Spyder.

[size=150]Overview[/size]
A sports car? – Yes, but we do it the Cervus way! The 300 Spyder is not about stats or figures, nor is it about lap times. The unique driver-focused Roadster is all about passion and makes every single minute of the ride a thrill.

[size=150]Design [/size]
The 300 Spyder is our most spirited design creation yet. The boomerang shape of the headlights, which can also be seen on the rear reflectors, is the most distinctive part of the car. In addition, the thin chrome line, which runs from the side vents to the door handles, lets the car look even more dramatic and elegant. Because of the classic Cervus grill though, it is still recognisable as such.

[size=150]Performance[/size]
The 300 Spyder is available with two different engines. A 2.4L I4 with 195 hp and a 3.6L V6 with 280 hp. The sporty character of the Naturally Aspirated engines perfectly suits to the car. Both engines come with a crisp and precise 6-speed manual transmission which offers an unadulterated driving experience.

[size=150]Standard Features [/size]
[ul]All-LED exterior lighting[/ul]
[ul]Active dampers[/ul]
[ul]Fully electric folding roof[/ul]
[ul]Luxury cabin[/ul]

If you ask why Megi TT had problems with show,lets say that someone broke it’s turbocharger while transporting.
Xy is greek letter and Xys is correct in this case

[Oskiinus]

Delayed by one day, but finally it’s here - Megi Twin Turbo, new, stripped down version of Megi for track radicalists. This car has 385 mm wide wheels on the rear. xD And 95 reliability score on the engine

[quote=“Oskiinus”]

Next car is Megi Twin Turbo. You may remember normal Megi, our newest V12 monster that reutilizes many parts from Centenario and Cerberus and has whooping score of almost 800 hp from NA engine? Well, we had also plans for other cars from Megi line. One of them is twin turbo. Practically track-limited monster with economy of steam train, 1500 hp on rear wheels and big ass spoiler?

Price is unknown, will probably be over million dollars per unit.

Sorry for quoting image. I had to.

[strop]

Now that’s putting the strop into the car

But how come the car has 1500hp and ‘almost’ gets to 400km/h? Did you make this in the beta?

[Oskiinus]

[quote=“strop”]Now that’s putting the strop into the car

But how come the car has 1500hp and ‘almost’ gets to 400km/h? Did you make this in the beta?[/quote]

1. Weight, which can’t be lower unless I want to make track machine
2. Aero; noticed this massive wing in the back? Currently car has 395 km/h top speed and 2.7 seconds to 100
   I had also 410 km/h, 3.3 s and 365 km/h and 2.5 s setups. Megi TT is focused to compete with markets like Koenigsegg Regera and McLaren P1 GTR at the same time, so I had to go for some compromises.
   And I’ve done this in current version

[size=200]The pinnacle of performance.[/size]

*The halo car of our lineup, the Kusanagi is one of the oldest cars in Rennen’s lineup; it is also the fastest. No longer a simple sports car as it used to be, it is now a fully blown super car. *

Performance
In the middle of the Kusanagi lays an ultra-high-tech 60-valve 4.0 liter Twin-Turbocharged V12 that produces 722 HP and 581 lb-ft of torque. These figures coupled with a revolutionary AWD system and launch control allow the Kusanagi to rocket from 0-62 MPH in 2.6 seconds and pass the 1/4 mile in 10.14 seconds at 141 MPH. However, where the Kusanagi shines the greatest is in the corners. With razor-sharp cornering and innovative Pushrod suspension, the Kusanagi is able to generate 1.29 G in the corners. Both of these allow the Kusanagi to lap the Top Gear Test Track in 1:12.00, which is one of the fastest times for any production car. Purpose-built Michelin Pilot Super Sports connect the ground to the wheels. However, even then, the Kusanagi still focuses on making the best of the driver, so it is fun to drive, and the steering is tuned by the racing professionals of Rennen for maximum fun. Yet, the Kusanagi remains a controllable beast, utilizing Rennen Active Control (RAC) and Sports Steering Support (SSS) so that the driver can enjoy the Kusanagi at any time, any place, anywhere. Even with the high-tech that is invested into the Kusanagi, the car still weighs less than 3,300 pounds thanks to a carbon-fiber shell and chassis. Kusanagi provides a driving experience like no other with an engaging, exotic, and most importantly, a distinctively Rennen driving style.

Interior
The interior of the Kusanagi is built to comfort the driver. However, it is also made to lighten the car, with carbon fiber and special windows that lower the weight of the Kusanagi by over 100 pounds. Creature comforts are still standard such as a 9-inch touch screen with Garmin navigation and a 21 speaker Bowers and Wilkins audio system. However, everything is focused to improve the driving experience, and it creates a racing atmosphere without compromising creature comforts. Only the highest quality materials are used, and soft-touch materials line the cabin from top to bottom.

Exterior
The exterior of the Kusanagi is aggressive yet elegant, using abstract shapes and textures to create a single, flowing specimen. The body is made to be angular yet beautiful and organic, much like the sword it was named after. The usage of the classic “angel wing” headlights show the 50 year lineage of Rennen that the Kusanagi represents. Every color available has been specifically tailored to accentuate the sculpted body of the Kusanagi’s lines. The sculpted body is designed to not only be aerodynamic, but also to create levels of downforce that exceeds 330 pounds at 160 MPH. The rear spoiler and front lip made out of carbon fiber are both electronically active to create more stability at high speeds.

[size=150]Dilessi 418 1300 LR[/size]

At this years New York Auto Show Dilessi won´t compete with modern super cars, but they´ll show restored super cars build over 50 years ago. Today is the release of the Dilessi 418 1300 LR. It´s was the first rear engined car by Dilessi and a vision of the founder Emilio Dilessi. Even the engineers had some problems making his dream come true, the result was stunning. A small and even economic V8 will give the car enough power to be a super car back then and still be driveable. The car was even quicker around test tracks than the Dilessi 418B, which had over twice as much horsepower. This car was the key for Dilessis future and all cars build from now on.

Value for money. It’s something that we often overlook here at Montuzo Engineering, as we are all constantly focused on bringing up three hundred billion horsepower red nightmares willy-nilly. Instead, Fabio Montuzo called for a meeting, ordering a week off for workers to get their eye in. “Go mad,” he said “But not too mad. Let your mind run free.” When the week was over, they all met up at the conference room and stated their ideas over an hour or so. While some were ridiculously insane, and others were way too boring for the younger generation, one stood out from the crowd. It was styled in the usual sense Montuzo does (i.e. awful looks, but very practical), but they haven’t made it “Montuzo” insane (i.e. it didn’t fall apart after 30 feet). It seemed to work so well that Montuzo stated that he had found the car to bring to New York. And so, here it is.

The $100,000 Hydra 6H.

The turbocharged 3.8 litre V6 churns out a relatively powerful 600 of your finest Portuguese horses and torques, which means it can propel from rest to 60 miles per hour in a brisk 3.4 seconds, and onto a top speed of 186mph/300kmh. While it may not be an absolutely ridiculous top speed, amount of power or torques, it makes up for this in usability. While our other builds have engines on the ragged edge in the sense that there was a high chance that it would explode when you turn the ignition switch, and others were simply not usable on the road, this is situated right in the middle - the butter-zone, if you will. It’s also packed with the latest technology as standard, such as launch control, ABS, fully-adjustable suspension and more. (The full list of extras are situated below.) However, despite being family-friendly (as there is indeed four comfortable seats for your wife/husband and two children, and there being a sizable boot), the styling is less so. So less so that, when Montuzo pulled up at his house in Lisbon to pick up his wife and child, the latter got so scared of the car that he ended up soiling himself. The former was not happy at all.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS:
Radar-guided cruise control - $550
Sunroof (as shown below) - $325
Self-healing paint (very expensive, but a great option if your mother-in-law decides to take the 6H for a spin) - $3,500
Paint of your choice (available in gloss, metallic or pearlescent) - $1,000
Overwolf Package (stiffer suspension, lowered ride-height, stickier tyres, rev-limit increase from 7200RPM to 7500RPM [causing a 30bhp/23nm increase], recommended for track days) - $2,500

If the Hydra gets enough press, it is viable that Montuzo will make it into a fully-fledged production car.

AN - Please give feedback on my (hopefully) improving designing skills, and tell me how I can improve my cars. Thank you for taking your time to read.
