Introducing the 2020 Vermillion Predator
Time to show some fangs.
Time to show some fangs.
The new halo car of Vermillion Motor Company, Predator is Vermillion’s first foray into the supercar market. Powered by a variant of Vermillion’s 4.8 ST09 V8 engine, it develops 671 horsepower, delivered through a dual clutch transmission and an AWD system (30F/70R split), which is enough to get this car to 100 km/h in 2.7s, and blaze through the quarter mile in 10.39s.
I’m really not that good with writing flavor text, please don’t make me write more.

AL Autos Special Release Event
Welcome one and all to the AL Autos booth here at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show! We are here today to show you something that we’ve been working on for a while now. We’ve been on a bit of a hiatus from designing as of late but not inactive. We used this hiatus to rethink how we could design our vehicles both on the outside and on the inside. We’ve been doing our research and figuring out a new approach in order to make sure that every AL Autos model is better than it was before. Using our newfound insight, we decided to perform a comprehensive update of one of our models and we would like to know what you all think. Now, without further a do, lets get on with things, shall we?
AL Autos is proud to present the newly redesigned 2020 AL Autos Quaestus
(A short film showcasing the new design of the AL Autos Quaestus made by me. Enjoy 
)
The AL Autos Quaestus! Take on new perspectives.

The Underpinnings
To start things off with the newly redesigned compact luxury sedan, the Quaestus, we started with the underpinnings of the Quaestus. One of our objectives with this revision of the Quaestus was to provide a versatile selection of trims that would appeal to many different markets. To start, buyers would have a choice of a total of 4 newly designed powertrains. All 4 engines deliver their power through our AL4Road All Wheel Drive System that biases the power delivery more towards the rear (40F/60R) to provide for a sportier driving characteristics. The base powertrain contains a 2.3 L Turbocharged I4 producing 312.1 Horsepower and 240.8 lb-ft of Torque while providing MPG values up to 29.1 MPG. If that isn’t enough for you, the next level of powertrain available for the Quaestus is a 2.5 L Turbocharged I5 producing 349.2 Horsepower and 261.6 lb-ft of Torque , while providing MPG values up to 24.7 MPG. If that still isn’t enough to quench your need for power, the sportier trims up the anti with 2 high performance engines. The first is a 3.0 L Turbocharged I6 producing 423.7 Horsepower and 316 lb-ft of Torque while providing MPG values up to 23 MPG. The second is a beastly engine from our performance division, the Draconis Tuning Division: a DTD Specialized 4.0 L Twin Turbo V8 producing 545.7 Horsepower and 428.3 lb-ft of Torque while providing MPG values up to 18.8 MPG. The engines of the normal commuter versions are connected to ALTech Automatics that provide smooth responsive power delivery and shifting. The engines of the sport commuter versions are connected to ALSportTech Dual Clutch Transmissions that provide instant gear shifts along with instant power delivery. This allows for the Quaestus to accelerate from 0-62 MPH anywhere from 7.39 seconds down to a quick 3.6 seconds. The normal commuter versions have Double Wishbone F/R AL-Road-Ride suspension with specialized adaptive dampers and semi active sway bars to soak up the punishment of the roads. The sport versions have Double Wishbone F/R AL-Road-Sport-Drive suspension with Active Springs, Semi Active Dampers, and Passive Swaybars. To aid in slowing the Quaestus, the commuter versions have appropriately sized disc brakes. The sport versions have high quality powerful vented disc brakes. These will slow the Quaestus down as quick as 115 FT from 62-0 MPH. All in all, the Quaestus, while it may be our compact luxury sedan, still has the parts and gusto to go quick. Around the Airfield Test Track, the most hardcore Quaestus, the RGS DTD, goes around in 1:20.2. The Quaestus’ underpinnings are symphony of parts that know just what they are doing.

The Exterior Styling
The exterior design of the Quaestus was another aspect of the car that we pondered on for quite some time. We wanted the Quaestus to have a sleek look yet also have some hints of sportiness and such. In addition, we wanted this design to be fitting for both sedans and estates. To do this, we used inspiration from some of our other vehicles that we’ve released and tried some new design techniques as well. The front end was sculpted from a blank slate. If we were going to redesign the Quaestus for the new revision/model year, we wanted a look that set it apart from the older revisions of the Quaestus. We included a sleeker design for the headlamps and infused some sporty sharp angles with some more relaxed sleek angles. From the sides, we can see a sleeker side profile especially with the flush door handles. The rear end features a sleek tail lamp using various shapes. Again, we wanted the luxury and sport aspects to blend as well as it can. Overall, the Quaestus. Overall the new Quaestus embodies a new generation of the AL Autos motif: A complex combination of shapes and fixtures which allow for sleek and sporty profiles and designs.

The Special Amenities
The Quaestus is loaded with some of the newest tech and features to come out of our R&D department. Starting with the interior, the Quaestus comes with supportive and comfortable leather seats that can be adjusted perfectly to suit the drivers needs. To add onto this, the Quaestus comes with our newly redesigned infotainment system we decided to dub the ALInterConnect System. This was a newly designed system which provides control of many of the car’s functions, intelligent satellite navigation, as well as various bits of information such as weather, traffic, online calendar entries synced from many internet sources, and so much more. Most of all, however, the new ALInterConnect System provides a more minimalist modern look compared to the outgoing ALWorldConnect Infotainment system. Other amenities in the interior include a comprehensive HUD standard on all trim levels, a digital dashboard, and an auto diming windshield which protects occupants from the blinding lights that surround our daily lives. The safety tech and features have also been upgraded for the Quaestus inside and out. Starting with the airbags, the Quaestus comes with the standard airbags located around the cabin as well as inflating seatbelts, footwell airbags front and rear, and, new for this model year, inflating headliner and head rests. The safety technology is also visible in the car. Included are the usual autonomous emergency braking, 360-degree radar protection, and such. A feature which made it to the Quaestus is a feature that was previously debuted with the Aurum: ALMedAlert system. This system includes a heart rate sensor on the steering wheel as well as many other sensors integrated into the driver’s seat. In the event that this system detects irregularities or medical emergencies with the driver, the ALMedAlert system with either prompt the driver to see if they’re ok or, in the case of a major medical emergency (stroke, heart attack, black out, etc), will turn on an integrated autopilot system that will safely pull the vehicle over to the side of the road and immediately dial emergency services. Under the hood of the car, there are airbags that deploy when a pedestrian incident occurs which provides a cushion to soften the blow. Finally, another highlight of the tech is that the Quaestus comes with an integrated 360-degree dash cam which uses the cameras located around the car to monitor driving and parking conditions which can sync footage to your phone.

Doubtless it will be immensely powerful and torquey, but it won’t be very refined. Besides, a proper hypercar deserves a proper engine - one with at least one more pair of cylinders.

I tried optimizing the perfomance the better i could, and a v8/v10/v12 wouldnt deliver much more than this V6, but, being a personal-made car on that price, Alfora offers whatever type of engine the costumer wants.

New from Atlas, The next generation of Affordable sports car, the carbon
2019 Atlas Carbon S
The next generation carbon, the sports car for the masses. No frills performance without the premium, just a simple turbocharged four cylinder, rear wheel drive, and a six speed manual gearbox. We at Atlas know that not everyone can afford a major performance vehicles such as the potent Vortex or the V10 exotic like the R. The carbon is the car for the aspiring automotive enthusiast on a budget.
Powering the Carbon S is the venerable CR18 DET, which has been improved and upgraded to produce almost 260 horsepower from the original 205. That power is pushed to the rear wheels via the M96 6 speed manual transmission(which can be equipped with an VPP(velocity performance parts) short shift kit as an option). However, if your not satisfied with the performance of the S, a wide range of VPP products is available to customize the vehicle to your liking.
The combination of sports suspension, aerodynamics, and sports compound tires allow the carbon to achieve an average of 1.13g around the track. The suspension is adjustable on the fly, allowing for either comfort or performance with just a touch of a button. The interior of the Carbon utilizes carbon fire and generous amounts of Alcantara, giving its occupants good comfort for the price.
Cost: $28,500 USD
Specifications:
Engine: 1.8L TFSI I4 DOHC Transmission: M96 Manual
Horsepower: 258 hp @ 8000rpm Torque: 183 lb-ft @ 6500rpm
Weight: 3001lb Skidpad: 1.13g
0-60(mph): 5.3s Top speed: 157 mph
1/4 mile: 13.62 MPG: 23 mpg
Atlas Carbon V300
As of this generation, the V250 has been discontinued, instead customers can look forward to the usual V300 and the new V370. The latest V300 takes the place of the outgoing V250, offering better performance that its predecessor at a slightly increased price. The V300 is for those who seek something better than the standard S but more daily driver friendly than the V370.
Powering the V300 is the usual CS20 DET inline 6 that the previous V300 used, however its been tunes to produce an additional 10 horsepower for a total of 311. The power is delivered via the F8 dual clutch sequential transmission that is a mainstay on many Atlas vehicles. This allows the V300 to achieve a 0 to 60 of 4.8 seconds from a stand still. Additional parts from VPP can push this lower if the owner desires(with full factory warranty intact).
Additional aerodynamics help keep the V300 stuck to the tarmac, improving the g force from the original V300’s 1.10 to 1.15G. The deployable rear wing helps to keep the Carbon V300 stable at high speeds and the adjustable front lip further helps maintain that grip. The interior of the V300 now has leather to complement the Alcantara and optional carbon kevlar trim. The aerodynamics can be tuned from the infotainment system in the V300 alongside the magnetic suspension.
Cost: $37,500 USD
Specifications:
Engine: 2.0L TFSI I6 DOHC Transmission: F8 Sequential paddle shift
Horsepower: 311 hp @ 8600rpm Torque: 214 lb-ft @ 7000rpm

Upping the power to a impressive 372hp and 243 lb-ft of torque. If track focus is more your style, than the V370 has everything your looking for in sports car.
The V370 comes in a limited Atlas racing white, a special option few Atlas vehicles get. Thats not the only thing special about the V370, it also utilizes a Spirit modular engine in a flat 6 pattern. Screaming to a 9000 rpm redline, the Spirit F6 is more than enough to get you excited about your day. The power of the spirit engine is put to the pavement via the usual F8 sequential but its aided by the edge all wheel drive system, to get the most out of The V370.

The chassis has been strengthened and as much weight trimmed as possible. A full roll cage has been installed, a racing seat and Carbon fibre aluminum matrix wheels fitted with racing slicks.
The Spirit F6 now generates 445 horsepower at 9200rpm and 268 lb of torque. The C14 competition transmission has been fitted to achieve lightning quick shifts and put all 445 horsepower to the pavement. the aerodynamics were optimized with extensive wind tunnel testing and then tested in time trials on a section of the nurburgring.
The GT Cup is the ultimate performance that the Carbon can achieve, however it is not street legal. It is, however, able to be purchased at any dealer like any other carbon. If you want a fully track ready vehicle without having to deal with the modifications and certification, than the GT Cup is an excellent option.
Cost: $72,000(est.) USD

And I thought BMW trim levels and names were confusing! Regardless, sharp-looking car
Thanks. I really appreciate it.
Here is how AL Autos labels the trims for their cars for clarification:
-
“RG-” stands for Road Going (Road Legal). “TG-” stands for “Track Going” (Not Road Legal)
-
The numbers represent different levels of the trim (“RGLE2” is an upgrade from “RGLE”). Sometimes the same trim may get two different engines which is why I use the distinction with numbers. In the case of the Quaestus, the RGLE gets the 4 cylinder and the RGLE2 gets the 5 cylinder.
-
“-LE” stands for Luxury Edition
-
“-XLE” stands for Extra Luxury Edition (Higher than LE trims)
-
“–W” indicates the trim is a Wagon or Estate (Goes together with other trim levels. Example: RGSW means Sport Wagon)
-
“-S” stands for the Sport Trim
-
“-DTD” means that the trim level is a special edition performance trim tuned by the high performance division of AL Autos, the Draconis Tuning Division
Examples:
- “RGXLEW2” means a model is a “Road Going Extra Luxury Edition Wagon (Level 2)”
I hope this clears things up

Z - zwykły (basic)
P - premium
S - sportowy (sport)
L - luksusowy (luxury)
PS - premium-sportowy (premium sport)
LS - luksusowo-sportowy (luxury sport)
The second part is year, 46-20
The third part is exterior type (and door number):
S - sedan

KO - kombi (wagon)
KA - kabriolet (convertible)
V - van
B - bus (people mover)
H3 - 3 door hatchback
H5 - 5 door hatchback
P - pickup
SUV - suv
With my Bauer brand (which pops up on the forum occasionally, but is my main brand) it’s relatively simple
(Model)-(displacement)-(any other necessary info)
Por ejemplo, The Bauer C20S is a compact car with a 2.0L engine and sport trim.
Another example: M48t midsize, 4.8, turbo
I only realized this is literally just Infiniti once I built the entire brand after 6 months of work, so I’m just going to leave it lol
Last-minute unveiling by Silver-York
It’s been a while since Silver-York has appeared at a motor show (on the forums this is a first).
Silver-York has unveiled their newest SUV, and their first new 2020 MY car. The new “Sovereign” is a luxury SUV through and through.
The Sovereign features the traditional “Silver-York” front fascia, however, this has been updated to include what has been dubbed the “teardrop” lights, these DRL’s run through the large headlamp unit and down the side of the centre grill.
Taking the Sovereign name badge and using it on an SUV has been a questionable decision we at Silver-York understand that, we have chosen to do this because SUV’s are the new Luxury sedans. They are the pinnacle in luxury and quality, and to revive a name badge that was first introduced in 1954 representing the 50th anniversary of the company. Unfortunately, the name badge was dropped in 1999 to make way for the new century.
The new Sovereign features various specs and sits at the top of the Silver-York standard line, sitting on a 3.3M ladder chassis wheelbase this new piece of engineering marvel oozes the class and style that Silver-York has held over the last 125 years. Engines include a 3.5L TT V6 and produce 400HP and available is a 6.7L NA pushrod V8 that the Silver-York MoCo has had in use over its divisions for years.
With either AWD or a full 4x4 option.

Tanaka Akuma Targa Concept
Enjoying Every Sunday Drive the Akuma in a Whole New Way…
Tanaka Akuma Targa Concept with the roof piece down
Tanaka Akuma Targa Concept with the roof piece up
This is the Tanaka Akuma Targa Concept. It is based on the Tanaka Akuma V8S, but with a targa roof. The Tanaka Akuma is designed around its very rigid carbon tub. This means that almost no weight and absolutely no structual rigidity is sacrificed accommodate the open roof of the Akuma Targa Concept. The rear section of the roof is still part of the body while most of the roof is open. However with just a touch of a button, the roof can be closed again.
The retracting roof is made of electrochromic glass. This means that when the glass is over the roof, the glass can be as bright as possible to have sun shining through, or make it pitch black for privacy and to block out the bright sun. With the glass retracted, the electrochromic glass will not function for safety reasons. Projected price would be an additional $6000 over the base price of the normal Akuma.
Enjoying Every Season
The targa top allows you to fully experience all kinds of seasons and weather. In the hot summer, you can open the roof to enjoy the sun, or close it to block out the blindingly bright sun. In spring, you can enjoy the breeze, or close it to block out the wind. In autumn, you can enjoy the cool temperature and the wind, or close it to prevent leaves from getting into your car. In winter, you can close it to prevent snow from getting in your Akuma, or open it to play snowball with yor friends and families. During the rain, you can close the roof to prevent rain from getting in your Akuma. Nevertheless, you enjoy your Akuma in new ways.

But it’s here to say it’s idea of the future motoring. You’d probably say that it comes from Mars or from some crazy spaceship in the outter space.
Well, I’m sorry to say you are wrong, because this veichle comes from the MCF’s idea of something future-friendly, never done before.
It came out of the cast, like a flash that followed an inspiring wave, and this is the result…
