What was once a quiet night on the streets quickly turned into a roaring whirlwind of noise as the Sinistra Motors fleet surged toward the Antiyita International Motor Show. Hiding in the noise, if one was particularly keen with engines, was a lone crossplane V8, a surprisingly-rumbly inline 4, and the blast of multiple inline triples, screaming along as they made it to their predetermined spot.
The first two cars to arrive were the Sinistra Arctic, in SE-8 and SE-4 trims.
Not so much ‘sport sedan’ as much as it was ‘sporty-styled sedan’, the V8 and large I4 were tuned to be economical. The other major feature was the sliding rear passenger doors, easing access to the back seat even in tight spots.
But the drone of multiple inline-3 engines grew louder until at last, 10 very-similar cars roared into their assigned parking spots.
The Sinistra Sentry was designed around offering decent fuel efficiency while not sacrificing fun. While the SE-3 is mostly built for fuel efficiency, 121 horsepower going to the rear wheels is enough to have some fun if you know what to do with it. And RWD is a proven formula. Meanwhile, the GT-3 trims pack 174 horsepower from basically the same engine, also sent to the rear wheels for optimal fun.
But, the fun doesn’t stop there. Luke Sinistra has decided to allow the journalists to test drive any and all of the cars presented here.
