2018 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS)

[Radster]

Nathan García takes a look at NYIAS!

Hey there! You might know me if you read Devil’s Rods at any point since it started. Thing is, I’ve been sent by the fellas at the Motornation HQ to take a look at what the manufacturers have been showing prior to the show; the Press Days start tomorrow and I’ve been invited as well, but I’ll have to work with what I know for now. Before meeting a certain Brit tomorrow, here’s what I think have been the highlights of the show so far!

• Shromet and the Appalachian. If it has the offroad worthiness its looks indicate, it should be a strong contender in the good crossover market (not counting crap on stilts). About the teaser, however…I must say I’ve been a bit offended considering my maternal grandmother comes from Mexico, but still, looks like a promising package.

• TSR Fallwing LSport V12. While the car looks a bit outdated, the twin turbo V12 under its bonnet sounds like it’s going to have some juice with 665hp. They didn’t tell us the price but eh, if the price is right, this could be a car to keep in mind.

• Nohda presented the Shourai, a little car with huge engines; offering a 2.5L V6 with snails and a 4.7L V8, it has meat and good one at it. At a pricetag of $35000 it is a car I personally would consider prioritary when looking for a sports car.

• GBSC presented the MV350. I don’t like the looks, I love the internals; these guys went in for the kill with a 680hp V10 in qualifying spec (Presumably?). I’ll just say MMMMMmaybe.

• Hah, I guessed it, Baltazar! I knew it was Stardust! Looks like they joined the sedan market with their Stardust. It looks quite good, if a bit too sober for me but by no means bad. Looks like it’ll have some meat with an option to make it AWD if you order one of the 2 liter engines. Will have to take a further look at it when they release the rest of the details.

• Audentia Regulus. The looks were a great attempt but they just need to make their headlights and tailights more modern, they feels quite outdated, ruining an otherwise good styling job. With a 4.6L V8 with 478hp it has meat for sure, with great fuel economy as well! The package it includes makes it sound like a good deal as well; I’ll keep an eye on these fellas.

• Znopresk Zanzibar! Looks like we have a big boy SUV here, in contrast with the crossovers we’ve been getting. Looks like they’ll be offering a good array of choices when ordering the car: drivetrain, engine, interior color…it’s unusual that they decided to mount the engine transversely, but hey, irrelevant to me to be completely honest. Looks like a damn fine package and one I’ll keep my eye on.

• Kasai lost their minds making a transverse V12 hot hatch. This is like throwing a hatchback and a supercar in a blender and drinking the outcome; and the idea, I’ll say, sounds good to me. AWD is a selling point to me as well. Meat is what this car doesn’t lack, but sadly the V12 edition will be limited.

• Evgenis brought us the Valkyrie. A premium hot hatch from $25000? Sign me the [censored] up. The looks are simple but functional and elegant, and they promise a broad range of options to customize our car, from paint to the rims and even the roof. The range of engines will include petrol, gas, diesel and hybrid with some meat to them and great fuel economy, and they’ll, more importantly, offer a six speed manual, and even some autonomous gadgets. I might consider this for a serious daily driver whenever I have to settle down.

• The Leviathan Maladus GTR. It looks like a sportier version of a car straight out of a spionage movie, and I think it works. But best of all, 830hp and almost 10000rpm. This guys are crazy. And I love it. AWD, active suspension, and best of all, the 830hp car gets 20MPG. That’s nuts. At only $110000 roughly, I’d consider this if you’re in the hunt for a hypercar.

• KHT Augusta Vision GT. While I feel it’s a tad overstyled, it looks futuristic and it is futuristic in the inside as well: a 2.2L I4 turbo with 315hp, 3.3 seconds (from 0 to 62 I assume?) and a fast lap time around the Nordschleife of 7:35 minutes. Good, good…

• AL Autos, this is going to be a sincere message; I feel you guys need to settle down with a lineup instead of constantly releasing new cars. You will not be able to develop a brand image at this rate and I, personally, don’t think that’s good.

• If I thought the guys at Znopresk and Kasai were crazy for mounting I6s and V12s transversely…the fellas at Iuriaro mounted an 8 liter V12 transversely, the madmen. Holy shit. Looks like this one will be a luxury edition of the Zanzibar, and I’m really digging the futuristic looks.

• PMI introduced the Puma concept. It doesn’t look too bad, if a bit too simplistic for my taste, and the rear needs some improvement to look more modern. However, seems like this is a promising sports concept with a small, turbocharged engine that prioritizes lightness. If the price is right, this might be a good platform to modify on too…only time will tell.

We’re not done, fellas! I’ll be back tomorrow with more stuff. Will see you all then, and see what the show has yet to show us!

Thanks! Yeah, time is needed. I need to learn to deal with the available fixtures to create modern looking cars. And I do want to keep this one simple and fresh. We’ll see how PMI evolves in the future.

2019 Audentia Arbiter.

Your Own Private Jet On Wheels

---

Take charge with the all-new 2019 Audentia Arbiter. The Audentia Arbiter has been completely redesigned to fit in with the modern man and take over the streets.

With money comes power and with power comes speed. That is why the Arbiter is equipped a 6.2L V12 bringing 586 horsepower and 459 ft-lb torque to all four wheels. Despite the car weighing just under three tons, the Arbiter is able to put the pedal to the metal and hit 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds. The Audentia Arbiter gets 16 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway.

If you are lucky enough to find yourself inside the Arbiter you will be welcomed and enveloped in luxury and familiarity. The new infotainment is the fastest yet and most user-friendly. The new infotainment had a 4K UHD screen that has a refresh rate of 80Hz. We live in a world where technology and luxury coincide, and Audentia realized this. That is why you can expect only the highest quality of technology inside of the Arbiter. Audentia has teamed up with Bang & Olufsen to create the best possible audio experience while inside. The Arbiter comes stock-equipped with 4G LTE which allows for internet browsing on all 3 infotainment systems within the vehicle. The Arbiter offers Google Earth mapping, parking information that lets you find available spots ahead of arrival. And of course, the Arbiter comes with the same color detailed HUD that every 2019 Audentia model will be receiving.

AL Autos, this is going to be a sincere message; I feel you guys need to settle down with a lineup instead of constantly releasing new cars. You will not be able to develop a brand image at this rate and I, personally, don’t think that’s good.

Thanks for the advice

I’ve been attempting to do so as I’ve also realized this as well. AL Autos will be establishing a lineup of cars instead of releasing new models every auto show.

2019 Enactor Estate Roamer (Series 4)

Overview

The Estate Roamer has been an icon among the luxury SUVs for two decades and to reaffirm its position on the top of the tree, Enactor is proud to present the Series 4 Estate Roamer. Building upon the foundations of the previous models, the Estate Roamer seeks to deliver the ultimate in luxury and off-road capability, with no compromises.

Styling

The clean and elegant design has been a long standing Estate Roamer tradition, with smooth lines, which still are imposing and distinctive enough to separate it from lesser models.
For the 2019 model, full LED headlights and tail lights are standard on all models, for a distinctive visual and lighting signature.

Engineering

Building upon the solid basis of the previous models and with access to the vast R&D resources of the parent companies, the Estate Roamer has cutting edge technology designed to augment safety, driver comfort and ease to drive.

All the latest safety technology is available on the model, with Enactor’s AutoCruise allowing the car to follow the cars in front, steer within the lane and come to a complete stop, without any input from the driver, provided they keep the eyes on the road and the hands on the wheel. This means the Estate Roamer is capable of level 2 autonomous driving, perfect to take the strain away from long motorway journeys.

Meanwhile, all the off-road tech hasn’t been forgotten, with the car featuring self-levelling air suspension, with adaptive dampers and off-road biased reactive roll bars, which detect long vertical movement and need for wheel articulation and soften up accordingly, without compromising off-road capability or on-road driving behaviour.

In order to improve fuel economy and improve drivability, the car’s body is fully made of aluminium, meanwhile the steel monocoque has been worked upon, to improve structural rigidity and reduce weight.

Powertrain

The Series 4 Estate Roamer is available from launch with 2 engines in 3 states of tune. Erin’s 3.5 Twin-Turbo V6, in 300 hp guise, provides the entry-level of the range. Meanwhile, Bonham’s 3.0 Turbocharged Straight Six is presented in 2 states of tune, 380 and 500 hp.

All engines are mated exclusively to an 8 speed automatic gearbox with power being delivered to all four wheels. Power is split 50/50 as standard, but if the computer detects slip, power can be sent 100% to either axle and up to 75% to an individual wheel.

Interior

In keeping with the Estate Roamer tradition for luxury, this latest car offers a wide variety of luxury items. All 5 individual seats are covered in fine nappa leather, with 12-way electric adjustments for the front seat passengers and 4-way individual adjustments for each of the three seats in the rear. The car is equipped with two 13" displays, one to control the infotainment, the other showcasing the fully digital dials. Meanwhile, rear seat passengers also get individual touchscreens, which can use the in-car internet hotspot to access websites like Youtube and Netflix on the go.

The sound system uses a 19-speaker, 1550W Harman-Kardon surround sound system, engineered exclusively for use in the Estate Roamer, with active noise cancellation.

Enactor’s Adventure Key is also present. It consists of a waterproof wristband, that can be used to lock and unlock the car, while leaving the standard key safe and dry inside the car. Perfect for any outdoor excursion where taking a delicate and cumbersome key might prove risky.

Detailed stats and pricing coming on the Enactor thread very soon.

Pre-orders are available, with first deliveries in late summer, with production starting at the Enactor plant in Curdworth in May.

Suspension has too been re-tuned for a more refined yet sportier feeling with more on-road steering feel. Torque-vectoring AWD returns and is standard on all 6-cylinder Angeles models. The exterior has been refreshed with a new side treatment including a revised side vent treatment, oval rear tailpipes, and new headlight and taillights among other changes. New for 2019, besides a refreshed interior, is a mixture of classic analog and modern digital gauges with forged aluminium borders and rungs with an OLED screen nestled within. An 8.0" center console screen is standard while a 10.0" multimedia screen remains optional. Overall, the Angeles improves with the latest refresh, with greater style, performance, and technology.

Zenshi in the 2018 New York International Auto Show - Day 1

For the first press day in New York, Zenshi showcased two performance beasts, one of which wasn’t to be expected from a company like them.

On the stage; Zenshi made use of the screen to display moving pictures to show two halves; first being a video of an empty Route 66 in the sunset, and to follow the theme of what they have been doing in Japan recently, which is to play songs previously used in their car advertisements back in the day; played a sample of Toshiki Kadomatsu’s 52nd Street.

And as the animation went, the light focused on a performance… Pickup.

2019 Zenshi TDF Furue ZMD Track

From there was ZMD’s track-tuned TDF Furue. This generation marks the first time the “TDF” name is used in the American market.

This particular TDF Furue sat considerably low for a pickup truck, and holding them up are 20-inch RAYS wheels on Yokohama ADVAN tires. Fat ZMD quad-tip exhausts adorn the colour-coded rear bumper in a way to show that it means business.

Overall, the pickup received a rather aggressive styling treatment, and if that doesn’t scream performance, perhaps the overall stats will. Under the hood lays a Twin-Turbocharged 5.6L V8 known as the SY56-GDA2T, which was used in the well-known high performance version of the GT, the GTZ 5.6R. Coming standard with a 6-Speed Manual, pumping out 600 HP only to the rear wheels, and weighing below 2,000 kg, the Furue ZMD Track makes for one hell of a street performance truck.

The spotlight dims on the Furue, and focuses on a rather low-looking silhouette.

On the right side of the screen, played a black-and-white video of the roads of Suzuka Circuit, initially playing no music, just the sounds of a roaring V8 engine. Eventually, the music comes to, and playing is another song from Kadomatsu, Rush Hour.

The V8 sounds get louder until it all stops for a brief second, displaying a familiar logo:

after that, the light fully focuses on the silhouette and the veil drops.

2019 Zenshi GTZ 500R

In a recognizable yellow colour, there laid the new GTZ. ZMD decided to not put in extreme styling towards the front, giving a bit of a more, premium, side to the car, all the while aiding it’s aerodynamics.

Darkened lights help give off a very menacing feel to the car, an aesthetic the GTZ lives by. Overall, the next-generation GTZ has seen a slew of improvements, both inside and out.

Mentioned already was the bodywork of the GTZ. Everything, from the bumps to the vents to the diffuser, aid in cornering performance and general efficiency. With the aid of it’s dogleg 7-Speed Manual, the roaring beast presents considerably impressive gas mileage figures for a car like this; 28 MPG Highway is one thing to take note of.

Dynamic exhaust control, which was introduced with the Axia Newman R last year, is present in the 2019 GTZ, which allows the driver to drive a little bit more quietly when it comes to a time when noise isn’t the thing to have.

Boasting 20-inch WedsSport wheels in a deep grey finish, and inside them, high-performance Akebono vented disc brakes are what serves as the “footwork” of the sports car. with 285 wide rear tires and 265 fronts, it adds to the already grippy dynamics of the GTZ.

Compared to the previous generation, the GTZ is a bit lighter, rating at 1780 kg (opposed to the 5.6R’s 1856 kg) makes for a quicker, zippier car.

Aiding the weight of the new GTZ is a brand-new developed V8 engine. Referenced in the new name of the GTZ, is the 5.0L Twin Turbocharged 90-degree V8 co-developed by ZMD, named the SZ50-GDA2T. While smaller than the outgoing 5.6L SY56, is lighter, less powerful, but more efficient. While losing 18 HP from the previous generation, now cranking out 622 HP, still can go really fast, actually faster than the outgoing model, pumping out power to the rear wheels to hit a quick top speed of 210 MPH.

Expect more of these two beasts when they hit the showroom floors soon.

Scagliati At NYIAS 2018.

Introducing the 2019 Scagliati Zoccarato Scoperta. Continuing A Proud Name.

Music for the reveal

2019 Scagliati Zoccarato Scoperta in Rosso Cinabro

Scagliati Motori is proud to present to you the 2019 Zoccarato Scoperta luxury roadster. The Zoccarato draws on seven decades of open-air motoring tradition from Scagliati, with the car’s bold styling and clean lines drawing a direct parallel to our very first car, the 245 Serenissima of 1947. The Zoccarato is a very special car for our company from a historical perspective, as it carries the name of the Zoccarato family, who have been associated with our company for five generations now. Gianluigi Zoccarato - part stylist, part engineer, part master craftsman - who, with our founder Amadeo Scagliati, worked tirelessly to make their dreams of a luxurious touring roadster come true in 1947, and set forth in motion the legend that continues to this very day with the car before you.

2019 Scagliati Zoccarato Scoperta, in Zaffiro

The Zoccarato Scoperta takes our company’s proven SCALE Architecture and meshes it with a flowing aluminium body, making for a strong, lightweight and resilient chassis for optimum handling, acceleration and fuel efficiency. Power for the Zoccarato Scoperta comes from a turbocharged 2.9 litre inline-6 that is the newest addition to the Amadeo modular engine family, and produces 451 horsepower and 445 newton-metres of torque in the current configuration. Combined with a seven-speed double-clutch gearbox and active aerodynamics front and rear, the Zoccarato Scoperta returns 7.3 litres per 100 kilometres in the Automation Combined Cycle Fuel Economy standard.

Inside the Zoccarato Scoperta, you will find the same luxury that any of our valued customers would expect from a Scagliati, with a handcrafted interior of the highest quality for pilot and passenger, made from the very finest materials we can source from our purchasers the world over. The cockpit has has its focus oriented toward the pilot, with important controls moved to be within easy reach for them as they drive the Zoccarato Scoperta. Eighteen-way, power-adjustable seats cosset both pilot and passenger alike, with seat heating and cooling as standard, along with integrated air vents in the headrest to allow for a much more comfortable open-air driving exprience. The folding cloth roof does not impede in the trunk space of the car, and folds completely within 13 seconds, and can operate at speeds up to 40 kilometres per hour.

The Zoccarato Scoperta goes on sale later this year, with prices starting at $141,600, and represents the first of a much larger family of variants, with more to come in the future. Please visit our website, or your Scagliati Atelier for more information.

2019 Scagliati Cinquetorri T - A Step Beyond The Ordinary.

2019 Scagliati Cinquetorri T, in Giallo D’Oro

Scagliati is proud to reveal to you the next step in the evolution of our luxury super SUV, the high-performance Cinquetorri T. With its distinctive front and rear treatment, the Cinquetorri T cuts an imposing figure on the road, and with 750 horsepower available from the turbocharged, 5-litre V12, it has the power to back up the image as well. With this, the Cinquetorri T is one of the fastest SUVs on the planet, with a 0-100 time of 3.5 seconds, and an electronically-limited top speed of 330 kilometres per hour. Inside the Cinquetorri T, you will find an opulent, four-seat layout, replete with the luxury and craftsmanship that is a signature of Scagliati automobiles.

Revised suspension tuning and a reengineered CAST system provides better body control and handling, with no sacrifice to ride quality whatsoever over the base model Cinquetorri. A more aggressive aero package and dynamic, 22-inch wheels adds to the aggressive stance of the vehicle, yet do nothing to hamper the excellent off-road capabilities of the Cinquetorri T.

With the Cinquetorri T, Scagliati also launches our all-new DC program, where we will build your Cinquetorri T (with other models to follow) to our customer’s exacting specifications, with limitless possibilities for colour schemes, materials and finishes, along with a wide range of individual touches made by our in-house crafstmen, to create a truly unique and individual automobile that reflects the tastes of our clients.

NYIAS MONTES SHOWROOM

---

Welcome to the Montes showroom!

Today, we are proud to present the new F-segment model of the brand, the T90, as well the definitive Urban 2018 TCR.

---

2018 Montes T90

---

But before introduce the model, we will answer questions, which have arisen in motor magazines, and among fans:

Questions and answers

But first, we will answer the questions that have arisen in specialized media about the nomenclature, as well as resolve the rumors surrounding the Excelsior.

On montes, we decided to change the nomenclature for the sedans between the D and F segment.

The T it means tourer, already indicating the clear approach to rolling comfort, but without forgetting the typical dynamic behavior expected by a customer of the brand.

And the numbers, indicates the segment of the car. They go three by three. T30 it would be a D-segment sedan, T60, E-segment sedan, and T90, F-segment sedan. At the moment, we have no planned sedan below segment D.

And about the Excelsior, there will be no change in the denomination. It is a G segment car, and also, a historical model name, so we have not made any changes.

And once the questions are answered, we go with the presentation of the model.

Technology

To leave a more orderly, sober and clean cabin, together with Sharp’s collaboration, we have developed a transparent central screen, which the driver can hide at the touch of a button. The screen is made of a plastic material in its core, combined with the use of an OLED panel, and protected with a glass projection.

For the controls on the steering wheel, we decided to replace the traditional pushbuttons, by capacitive sensors, with an OLED screen behind them, which shows the function. Why? Because by pressing one of the buttons, we can go from controlling the audio system, to the air conditioning system, and therefore, the volume up or down button would switch to adjusting the temperature. So. The buttons are the same, but pressing the Mode one, It changes from AC to sound, and vice versa.

We wanted to introduce the greatest number of controls on the steering wheel, so that the driver does not take his hands off the steering wheel, but without accumulating many buttons or be confussing.

In the autonomous driving section, the T90 incorporates the latest technology available in the market. Like LiDAR radars, for example, as well as an AI, developed by NVIDIA, that predicts what can happen on the road, or around it, to anticipate possible dangers.

The autonomous driving system is level 3.

Comfort

In Montes, we have been around 4 years, to develop a car as comfortable as possible, while dynamic.

To do this, we designed a hydropneumatic suspension, piloted, and controlled by RADAR, which, as we have said previously, reads the road, and adapts to the contour of it.

The feeling is like going on a cloud.

As we know that 65% of customers will be driven by a driver, we have designed a car with a wheelbase of 3.10m, to provide a large space for the legs, as well as to adjust the two individual seats. Two seats, with massage function, air-conditioned, and with automatic body adjustment.

Design

The body lines are soft, with a marked waist line, covered in chrome.

The handles, are retractable, and leave once the car opens.

They provide a clean lateral line, and an improvement in the drag coefficient.

Inside, leather presides most of the interior, along with wood, glass, marble and metal for the moldings and buttons.

The customer can choose between two types of leather: aniline and semi-aniline.

For the Asian market, you can order the interior, with seats covered in wool, instead of leather.

Engines

The car is available with three engine options: a 3.0 inline 6 with 311hp, a 5.0 v8 with 490hp, and a 5.8 V12, with 560hp. All engines, comes with turbocharger, direct injection, Montes SCHI technology, and a 48v mild hybrid system, for the V12.

Prices*

T90 3.0: 80.250€.

T90 5.0: 91.406€

T90 5.8: 106.646€

At its market introduction, the all-new Sachiuri sL600x will start out with Sachirui’s X-TRAC All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system and two engine options in most markets, an extensively re-engineered 3.2 naturally aspirated V6 engine, 3.2 V6 ActivBoost engine. All engines offer supreme refinement, ample performance and high efficiency.

to the powertrain, the sL600x comes with has an extensive standard off-road package for going on tours off the beaten track. Sachiuri’s X-TRAC AWD system was developed as a multi-mode system, providing an electronic, variable-torque-split clutch with active torque control between the front and rear axles. and a power split of up to 50/50 between the front and rear wheels with an optional mechanically self-locking limited slip differential that transfers more torque to the wheels with most grip, to optimise traction in any driving conditions. This X-TRAC AWD system includes driver-selectable modes for all weather conditions.

As with the recently introduced sL1000, the new SUV will offer Sachiuri’s new highly advanced Dynamic Trac-Management system that provides automatic driver and traffic control enabling Level 3 autonomous driving. The car takes over the task of driving in certain situations. Unlike at Level 2, the driver no longer needs to monitor it permanently.

They must merely be capable of taking back responsibility whenever the system prompts them to, with the system active, the driver can relax. They can take their hands off the steering wheel permanently and, depending on national laws, focus on a different activity that is supported by the car, such as watch a TV program on the 12-inch SACHIURI iX infotainment display in the centre console.

During highly automated travel a small camera in the driving area detects if the driver tires or falls sleep. If that happens, a multi-stage warning is given. As soon as the speed rises above 60 km/h (37.3 mph) or the line of vehicles breaks up, the traffic jam pilot informs the driver that they need to take charge of driving once again. If they ignore this prompt and the subsequent warnings, the new sL600x is braked to a standstill.

Detailed information will soon be available on the Sachiuri webpage.

AL Autos (2nd Press Day)

Hello one and all and welcome to AL Autos Booth! On the second day of NYIAS press days, we have a very special announcement. We have partnered with Hennessy Motor Company (HMC) to bring you a special vehicle to our lineup. Let’s get right into it.

AL Autos/Hennessy Motor Company Lacesso LMGT

The Body

HMC took the lead on the design w/ some AL Autos input. The front end was designed to evoke aggressiveness with some fine details: The Carbon Fiber trimmed bar in the mouth grille, the Vent/DRL/Xenon headlamp combo, and the sleek elegant vents. From the side we have carbon fiber trimmed side vents, black accent door handles, and our 5 spoke alloy rims. From the rear end, HMC and AL Autos have put together a super aggressive rear end: Tail light/signal lamp combo, aggressive exhaust system, and many other fixtures to make the rear end pop. The Aluminum Body weighs in at 3598.6 lbs (1632.3 kgs).

The Performance

AL Autos took the lead on the engine w/ some HMC input. The heart of the Lacesso is a 4.5 L Twin Turbo V8 producing 674 HP and 519 ft-lb of torque sent to the rear wheels through a Longitudinal RWD system. AL Autos and HMC equally collaborated on the other underpinnings connected to the Carbon Fiber Monocoque Chassis: a 6 Speed Manual Transmission, an Electric LImited Slip Differential, ALHMC Sports Compound Tires, Carbon Ceramic Brakes (4 piston F/6 piston R), and Pushrod (F&R) suspension system tuned for sport. This allows for the Lacesso to go from 0-62 MPH (0-100 KPH) in 2.9 seconds, achieve 217.9 MPH (350.7 KPH), and clock a 1:13.6 on the Top Gear Test Track.

Some Added Features

AL Autos added some features to the Lacesso to spruce up your driving experience: AL Autos Driving Profile with three selectable modes (Road, Road Sport, and Track Sport) and a customizable profile so the driver can customize how the car drives to suit (Active Aero angles front and rear, suspension height, throttle/brake sensitivity, and steering sensitivity); Active Sports Exhaust which allows the driver to tune the exhaust note down or crank it up to hear that engine roar; a digital dashboard with customizable gauges and colors; AM/FM/MP3 capability, and a heads up display.

Special Announcement from the Founder of AL Autos

“After a lot of time thinking about what kind of auto maker we’re going to be, AL Autos will finally be finalizing our lineup of cars after all this time of releasing new models and redesigning old ones. Expect a list of what our finalized lineup is will be like on our official website (forum page). In addition, after overcoming my stubbornness, I will be finally moving our designing to the newest platform, UE4, to bring AL Autos up to date.”

That’s one of the most radical rear ends I’ve seen on an SUV in a while. Nice job!

At first, it seems that the big flagship SUV from Sachiuri has too many sets of taillights for its own good. And yet somehow, against all odds, it actually works very well indeed.
