Maybe, but even if, that was rather intentional. The point of my supercar wasn’t to be inefficient, but it was 
@doncornaldie If you want to know what I feel and why I write what I write maybe just ask me, instead of guessing behind my back, hm? I have no idea what kind of “guilt” and “trolling” you’re talking about.
@11alualhati The weight of over 2 tonnes is somewhat intimidating

2017 Zenshi Raizan X1
The Zenshi Raizan X1 is Zenshi’s 3rd creation in it’s line of supercars, the 2nd one dating all the way back 20 years ago with the X in 1997, and the 1st 8 years before that with the XS, in 1989.
The Raizan X1 carries on the legacy of the X series with even more power and technology, allowing the car to approach hypercar territory. With over 800 HP and a much more advanced version of the SM-AWS system, this car is ready to tear both the tracks and roads with ease.
shown in brilliant cosmos mica.
When looking at the front, one can see the careful works of the Shinka design flowing with the car, creating an elegant yet menacing tone to it.
One thing Zenshi’s supercars had within them was designs that could be found in their other performance cars, notably seen in the Raizan X1, where the taillights follow a similar for to that of the Grandea, and the side follows a similar form to that of the Zenshi/Cavallera Seiryu.
Powering the Raizan X1 is the KSZ40-GDA2T, another engine in the KSZ series whos family is well known for being affiliated with the Gundan, the KSZ45. The 4.0L Twin Turbocharged V12 makes 843 HP and gives off 667 lb-ft of torque mated to a 6-Speed AvanTec transmission. The result? A car that can hit 60 MPH in 2.3 seconds and can top off in 233 MPH.
While it can go off the line fast, one must wonder how it excels in the track. This is where ZMD comes in. Known for their other works, like the Grandea GT-R, GT-Z, and the Altrea Newman R, ZMD did major work on the driving dynamics of the Raizan X1. One of these implementations include the usage of a 3-stage active aero, as well as an active sports suspension.
Official colour listing
More info on the Raizan X1 will be shown later when the car makes it’s way to the showroom floors.

Other manufacturers have also published lists of exterior colors for some of their models, but this one is the largest I’ve seen so far, with an incredible 26 colors on offer for the Raizan X1! I’ll order mine in Kaiyou Blue if I had the chance - it suits the car’s styling better than any other color.
This isn’t the place for that discussion.
2017 JHW Lineup
Welcome to the full reveal of JHW’s finalized 2017 model lineup. a few things have changed from the concepts first exhibited at Detroit, but we feel this revised and simplified lineup is exactly what represent’s JHW in the car word.
2017 JHW Xcel 3 - $25,620
JHW Xcel 5 - $25,720
JHW Xcel 5S - $28,980
JHW Xcel S500 - $38,220
The Xcel series is our brand new premium compact car. each powered by our 2.8l V6, these cars provide the responsiveness and economy you’d expect from a compact, and the performance and comfort that you’d expect from an executive.
The Xcel 3 and 5 are both equipped with the 176bhp version of our V6, FWD, and both come with a 5 speed DSC gearbox as standard. The 5S has the same engine and drivetrain, but with a 6 speed gearbox. the S500 is our “everyday” sports car, with a 292bhp High Performance variant of our V6, a 7 speed DSC gearbox and a 30/70 AWD System. all cars are equipped with 5 seats.
JHW Harrier 6 - $53,850
##JHW Harrier 8 - $63,600
JHW Harrier Park-Regent - $237,600
The Harrier nameplate was the one that started it all for JHW, and the 2017 edition carries that tradition on into the future, progressing with the changing automotive world.
The Harrier 6 comes equipped with our 2.9L Turbo Inline 6, which is possibly the smoothest long stroke, and one of the smoothest turbo engines in production. Don’t believe us? an independent smoothness score of 80.6 doesn’t lie. the Harrier 6 has a 6 speed DSC transmission connected to a RWD drivetrain as standard.
The Harrier 8 is built on the same concept as the 6, but it now has our venerable 4.3L Twin Turbo V8, a 7 speed DSC gearbox, and a 40/60 AWD system to strike a true balance between luxury and performance.
The Harrier Park-Regent is the latest iteration of one of the most prestigious names in the automotive world. the car has a reshaped passenger cabin to provide the most room possible for the rear passengers, and the 6.1L twin turbo V-12 that powers it has been specifically retuned to be as smooth and quiet as possible. the interior is made from the finest wood trim and leather upholstery possible, and with a full Bowers & Wilkins media center, it’s as cutting edge as it can be. drive is provided by a fully computerized 9 speed automatic gearbox and is sent to the rear wheels.
JHW Apollo - $71,600
JHW Apollo Solaris - $ 72,000
##JHW Apollo Hyperion - $117,600
The JHW Apollo is our vision of a true grand tourer. a luxury coupe that gets you from A to B in quiet comfort, and one that crosses continents at 150mph without breaking a sweat.
Both the Apollo and Apollo Solaris utilize our 4.3L Twin Turbo V8 hooked up to a 7 speed DSC gearbox and a 30/70 AWD system.
The Apollo Hyperion is, in essence, a higly distilled version of the Apollo. a much more driving focused beast with our 6.1L Twin Turbo V12, this time producing 706bhp, all being fed through the rear wheels via a 7 speed DSC. the interior is more spartan to provide a much more visceral feeling whilst driving, and the suspension is very much track focused, to provide the greatest connection to the road possible.
JHW Assoluto - $52,750
The JHW Assoluto is our idea of a truly usable mid engined sports car. the interior is very similar to our Xcel, so it’s comfortable without being too heavy, and the cabin is designed to be as spacious and as welcoming as possible, to make the driving experience the best possible. The tranverse, mid mounted 2.8L V6 produces 292bhp, it’s hooked up to a 7 speed DSC gearbox sending the power to the rear.
JHW Proteus - $86,500
The Proteus is a true supercar, capable of hitting 200mph. But, the Proteus is also quiet and comfortable, with a luxury interior and sound system to make sure you have not only have a supercar that you gawk at, but one you actually want to own, too.
power is delivered by our 4.3L twin turbo V8, trough a 7 speed DSC gearbox into the rear wheels.

Given that IMP has a new Flagship to present, it was only natural to celebrate the 30th Birthday of our most successful Flagship sedan. Welcome to the 1987 IMP Opera.
The 1987 second generation of the Opera was one of the most ambitious projects of IMP. Considerably smaller than its predecessor, it nevertheless was a giant technological step forward for the nameplate and IMP in general. The first IMP to be designed using the latest computer technology, with perfected aerodynamics (a cd of just .29 and 75db of interior noise at 80mph) and intelligent weight savings without sacrificing any torsional rigidity (The car was 300kg lighter than its predecessor). It also meant highly complex electronics with anti-lock brakes, an early form of traction control and even an onboard diagnostics system. The engines equally used the latest in computing tech to deliver far better economy and drivability than before. The engine options were the 3.0L J-130E I6, the legendary 3.8L H-138E I6, the 4.5L R-145F V8 (a development of the 1960s G3600), but the standout was the VT-56E, a new 5.6L V8 with 330hp and 510Nm of torque. The 5.6L engine option also included an electronically controlled 4-speed Automatic transmission with adaptive shift ferocity, allowing for super fast shifts or butter smooth shifting on the fly, air suspension with adjustable ride height and self adjusting springs as well as four-zone automatic climate control. The 560i was capable of 165mph and could accelerate to 60mph in 5.9s.
Thanks to these innovations the Opera managed to earn strong sales and something of a cult following. It was also the most successful generation to date with an estimated 250.000 sales over an eight year production run. The 1987 model was so far ahead of its time that the 3rd generation of 1995 only needed updates to the basic chassis and technology and a restyling to stay competitive in its market.

From Rennen, the next generation of executive sports luxury sedans.
The new Rennen Kastana Concept was created in order to look into the future of engaging, luxurious sedans. With a familiar twin-turbocharged 4.2L V8, AWD, and a 7-speed DCT with electronic limited slip differentials, the Kastana concept is sure to plaster a grin on your face. The engine is played in between the front axle and passenger space for a balanced weight distribution. The twin-turbocharged 4.2 Liter V8, as found in the previous generation Kastana, has been tweaked for higher horsepower and greater fuel economy with cylinder deactivation technology.
The interior of the Kastana is a true evolution of the Rennen design. The concept has a mixed beach-tan and cosmic black interior with a 14" touch screen adorning the center console. Inlays of Mahogany are present in the doors and mix seamlessly with the design of the aluminum-outlined vents. Being a wagon, there is extreme versatility in the rear, with the rear seats folding down and raising in over 20 possible configurations. There is a refrigerator in the trunk for storing cooled items. The design of the Kastana reveals elegant yet innovative elements and details such as the active side vents, downforce-control active rear diffuser, and wind-cheating aerodynamic design. The Kastana Concept paves a way into the future of Rennen Automotive.

This is a revival of IMPs “L” Car.
The 2018 IMP L8 is set to continue the legacy of the “L” nameplate that had been put to rest for 41 years since the end of the L6. Like the late L6 it is powered by one of only three remaining V8 engines in IMPs portfolio. The L8 uses a unique variant of the Opera Velocitas’ 6.4L Twin Turbo V8, though without any Turbochargers and with a capacity increase to 6.7L. As with the Velocitas we have chosen not to reveal any power figures for the VL-67 Engine.
The obvious similarities between the L8 and the Opera are due to the shared platform, however there have been many changes to create a thoroughly distinctive driving experience. Minor changes include additional soundproofing, modified suspension geometry with far stronger focus on comfort than before, specially developed Michelin tires with minimal road noise and an increased wheelbase. Additionally the interior has been redesigned with new seats, a new dashboard and fully individualized materials. On the outside the new front fascia with subtle hommages to the classic L6 of the 1960s immediately captures the eye. The 8-speed automatic stems from the Velocitas and has been finetuned for smoothness at the expense of performance. The L8 comes with all-wheel drive as standard.
MSRP: $275.000

After being idle for almost a year, We have finally come back as a properly sturdy company named Zast Automobiles and Tuning Company.We havent overdone our first car to be revealed
The 2018 Zast Gorordo
The Gorordo is a mid-size sedan that comes with all the 21st century entertaintment.It comes with a 2.0L I4 Turbo-charged engine that produces 214 hp.We decided not to go big on the engine since at a total price of $30000,
it would be bought by people who are actually average and adequately provided finacially,so it has a decent economy at 26.1 MPG (US)
Out went the outrageous and weird design philosophy and went for an averegly outside.We want it to blend in the city as a normal car.

Is @DeusExMackia still doing the recaps? If not I can substitute for him as a writer from The Racing Line if everyone is ok with that…
Idk, maybe he’s tired from the 2 previous autoshows.
Exactly why I offered to sub for him.
@deskyx Ah! Yes, feel free to sub for Gavin, i completely forgot about this and won’t have any means to do fancy graphics or what not for the next few weeks anyway.

The late TurboJ remembers this one:
Nothing more than an early super saloon, made by Holburn Autocar, a now defunct british make known for their highly strung and highly prone to spontaneous external combustion engines. The Rocket made use of a 2.0L DOHC Inline six with impressive for the time 70hp, making it capable of 90mph in 1939. The car reentered production after WW2 and even spawned a number of successors.
The first of which was launched in 1953 and was a redesign of the original with a modern engine. Its 2.2L engine only had a single overhead camshaft but the advancements in technology made it capable of 110hp when equipped with three SU carburettors. The Rocket II was one of the few english production cars at the time to exceed 110mph.
The 1959 Rocket III was no longer a standalone model, but based of the Holburn 2000 family sedan. However it got to keep the six cylinder engine which had been tuned to 150hp by increasing displacement to 2.6L. Due to the boxy shape it was however only marginally faster than its predecessor at 118mph.
The 1965 Rocket IV was once again a standalone vehicle with a completely new body and independent suspension with coil springs that replaced the rear leaf springs and live axle. The engine had received a crossflow cylinder head and was bored out to 2.9L which was good for 180hp. Later models had up to 3.6L and 230hp. Depending on what engine you got, it could exceed 135mph. For some reason the Rocket IV was produced with only minimal changes until 1981.
Creators note: This is in no way shape or form a tease for a revival of the marque, just some cars that exist and for which I lack an appropriate thread.

(Note: This company is going to be properly fleshed out once UE4 hits, but I thought I’d show some stuff I’ve made anyway. It is an established company, so, if you’re going in character, we’re not new.)
“We have shied from Autoshows for 10 years, but we have finally resurfaced, not too far from Home base, up in Portland.” A woman walks onto the stage, wearing a black robe, so only her face is visible, however it doesn’t seem to move. “We started back in 1953, with the Original Pilot. A rather strange use of the American ideas. We put a V8 into a Mid-range model, and sold it for nothing. The Car sold enough for us to survive.”
A Generation 1 Pilot rolls onto the stage.
“Now, we don’t have a new pilot to show, that was released last year. Instead, we have the Concept for the New Ogre and Atlas platform, and the new 1MR trim of the Specter.”
“Now, we are pleased to present the new Vinson Dynamics Ogre-Atlas Concept. This is an initial design. Things will change. The Design is nothing more than a test platform for a new headlight and taillight designs, and will not move to any production models.”
“With a hefty 450hp V8, mounted to a 6 speed manual 4x4 system, This is a loadbearing, and work truck. This engine may or may not make it into the Production model. There is also going to be an SUV-based model, using the same Rugged underpinnings, which will be the new Atlas model. The two will look identical, with pre-production concepts to come soon.”
“For our final item, we show the all new One Make Racing Package for the Specter. This has quite a few visual changes from standard, including new headlight housings, the removal of the main grill, the added vents and moved exhausts, and the removal of the Indicators and Reverse lights.”
“This will be available for any team to purchase, and is only eligible for the Vinson Specter One Make series, which have series on each continent. With a 251hp, 2.3L V6 at it’s core, but weighing only 851kg dry, this Fully carbon machine is made for competition racing.”
“I have been Ash, Chief Operations Officer and head of the Board. We at Vinson Dynamics thank you for your arrival here.”

Nitrex Motor Company
Even though Nitrex will no longer be creating any new vehicles, here’s a concept vehicle that would have been produced after the Imposer.
It was called the Hotti. This is the R trim. Other planned trims include S, Eco, and Eco S.

The rear
The side
An angled shot, for perspective
And this one, with a black background
The Hotti concept was scrapped in favour of the Imposer, due to Nitrex’s low funds, as well as how much the Hotti R acted like a supercar, but one operating concept does exist. These pictures are of it.
This is the engine. It is a 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 producing 525 hp and 467 ft/lb. It gets a Performance Index score of 320.
The Hotti’s speed tops out at 179.4 mph and gets from 0-62 in 3 and a half seconds. Thanks to its six-piston brakes, it goes from 62-0 in less than 30 meters. It also does the quarter mile in 11.5s at 121 mph. It was never tested at the track, though. It weighs 3045 lb.
Here is another concept vehicle which was put forward in 2012 which was the inspiration for the Imposer. It was called the Mosquito.

Little is known about this concept, as it does not physically exist. Obviously, there are no stats for this car either.
Here are a few other concept vehicles put forward by Nitrex designers way back when. The badges on these cars may vary from the Nitrex badge, as some of these cars were supposed to create their own brands.
Nitrex Rush (2006)
Nitrex Chimera (2009)
Nitrex Caballo (2016)
Nitrex Torpedo (2016)
Nitrex B9000 and B9500 (2016)
Nitrex thanks you for your time.
