The DiMarino DE30 Range: A Premium Sedan Built For Drivers
Our latest executive sedan, the DiMarino DE30, is clearly built with the driver in mind, and yet provides reasonable levels of comfort for all passengers, with loads of standard equipment and a trunk large enough to fit all your stuff.
Headlining the range is the V8 S, priced at $59,580 with an 80% markup. This super sports/luxury sedan shares its twin-turbo V8 engine, electronic rear differential, and carbon-ceramic brakes with the DX8 S.
The next fastest trim, the base V8, is no slouch either, but forgoes the electronic LSD and carbon brakes for a mechanical diff and cast-iron rotors, and will be offered at $48,620 with a 70% markup.
Occupying the middle ground is the V6 S, powered by our latest 3.0L twin-turbo V6. In this application it develops 400 horsepower, which should be enough for most of our customers’ needs. At $40,800 after a 60% markup it’s also attractively priced.
Finally, the base V6, starting from $36,750, offers a detuned version of the 3.0L V6. Yet even this entry-level variant is meant for spirited driving, with a viscous LSD helping to put its power to the ground.
All trims are offered exclusively with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 18-inch wheels are a standard fitment on the V6 models, with 19-inch items being optional; however, these larger rims will be standard on the V8 models, for which 20-inch wheels will be available as an option. Other options include air suspension, and exterior and interior colors to sample, the latter two of which will also be available on all DX8 trims.
Rumors are rife that the DE30 will be offered in other body styles - most likely a wagon, but also probably a coupe - at a later date. However, we have yet to confirm this. Meanwhile, a convertible version of the DX8 is planned; if it goes into production, it will be more likely to have a soft top than a retractable hardtop.
