FRANKFURT IAA 2017: Maine Motors classics stand.
Maine Motors won’t be revealing anything new, but they will be showcasing two company classics from the 50s and 70s.
1970 Maine Motors Scorpio.
Built as a pony car that was mean to compete with the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang, the Scorpio was the company’s attempt at a pony car. Powered by the same pushrod 5.5 liter V8 as the '68 Imperator, the Star Banner, but this time tuned to make 301 hp, mated to a 4 speed manual, the car could outrun both the Chevrolet Camaro SS and the Ford Mustang Mach 1 at the quarter mile, with a time of 14.36 seconds.
1956 Maine Motors Imperator.
Maine Motors’ first luxobarge and the start of the Imperator line, that remains the flagship model nowadays. This car also mounted the first version of the Star Banner V8, this time a 4.2 liter pushrod one. It made 130hp, sent to the rear wheels via a two speed automatic. The car focused on luxury and comfort rather than performance; the suspension was soft, set up to understeer in case of grip loss, with a high ride height and its nicely clothed seats could seat 5 adults. The fuel economy wasn’t too bad for the time; it got 14 MPG combined.
This car is rare nowadays: some of them have been turned into hot rods, some of them have rusted to uselessness and some are restored and kept as collector pieces.

The Miller Automobile Company is proud to announce the newest member of the Anaconda family, the 2018 Miller Anaconda MS-343!
This is a tribute to the first generation Anaconda from September 1967 marking its 50 year anniversary. This current iteration shares many parts with the standard MS trim. The things that are different with this trim level are the naturally aspirated 5.6L SOHC V8 making 553 HP and 458 lb. ft. of torque which is mated to a custom 6 speed manual, propelling the car to 199 MPH and giving a 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds. Suspension has been stiffened for better cornering, and driver aids have been removed to make the MS-343 a pure driving sensation on the track.
The car will come in one color: the original MillerSport Blue!

The car will come in one color
Have you ever heard of a successful mass-produced modern car that came in only one color?
Ford Model T
“You can have any color you want, so long as it’s black”. 
Besides this is a special edition.
Unless the original Anaconda only came in blue this one shouldn’t. The Model T is not modern, btw.
there are multiple cars that have been released in only one colour throughout history, you know.

Modern cars usually don’t have that many colours available anyway, you know. Red, dark blue, white, black, grey, grey, grey and some grey.

Zenshi Arum COMME des GARÇONS Limited '17
For the 2017 IAA, Zenshi collaborated with Japanese clothing brand COMME des GARÇONS (french for “like boys,” which oddly enough also has women’s wear) to create a limited run special edition of the Altrea-based Arum executive midsize sedan.
The Arum COMME des GARÇONS Limited possesses a CdG badge on the trunk of the car, and is set to only one colour, Grandeur Red Pearl. Technical spec-wise, this limited run Arum is more or less the same, with a 468 HP 4.8L V8 mated to a 6-Speed Avantec Transmission and all the features found in the Ultima trim of the Arum.
Inside is where the design work of COMME des GARÇONS comes to play. the seats are black leather with rich red diamond quilt stitching, with the steering wheel and shift knob being given stitching of the same colour. within the interior, a simple open of the door expose’s the vibrant red accent lighting flooding the otherwise black footwells of the front and back row seats.
The joint venture of a vehicle will come in a limited production run of 250 cars worldwide, and will be available on showroom floors at the price of an equivalent to $75,000.

I never knew CdG (or other clothing brands) would get mentioned anywhere on these forums, but whatever, it looks the part and goes the part, just like the Ultima trim on which it is based. It has me thinking: What if there was an Alex Perry Albury Crusader, or a Stella McCartney Harris SVM? I’ve never thought of either of them before, primarily because explaining how they came about from their respective collaborations requires a lot of care and forethought…
Sachiuri the luxury division of Maesima is will be presenting its full lineup of models as well as unveiling its newest model. Sachiuri will be showcasing the all-new sL800 and sLR800 performance variant along with the sL100x, sL200, sLR200, in addition to the static displays of the sL1000 and Sagitta.

A spokesperson for Maesima has stated that while the separation with Saminda on the development of Sagitta has ended the two companies will continue to work closely on the development of battery technology and reserve the right to work together on any possible hybrid or electric vehicle developments.

Baltazar Automóveis presents two exclusive releases
The 2018 Baltazar Zeppelin
https://i.imgur.com/xaVBWt6.png
After 7 years on sale, the Zeppelin coupe got a deserved facelift and a whole new engine line-up. Following on from the new corporate look shown last year on the Quasar, the Zeppelin has been made more elegant and modern, to better compete with rivals from Cavallera and RJM.
https://i.imgur.com/GUupUdM.png
The engine range has also been lifted from the Quasar, with three engine options. The base 2.0 NA puts out 165 hp and then two turbocharged engines, with 277 hp and 321hp, this last one in a tune unique to this car.
https://i.imgur.com/u9mgo5a.png
Due to the all aluminium chassis and body, the Zeppelin provides great acceleration and handling, with 0-100 kph times ranging from 6.8s for the base model, down to just 3.8s for the 321 hp Helium range topper.
https://i.imgur.com/4VE5g9c.png
Secondly, but no less important, a new Quasar trim level, for the enthusiast that wants lightness and sharpness, and closely resembling the ATCC race car
The new Baltazar Quasar GT-S
https://i.imgur.com/cGicAww.png
The performance Quasar range clearly had a gap between the 202 hp FWD GT model and the 325 hp AWD RS325. This is where the 277 hp FWD GT-S slots in. It delivers higher power and an agile front-wheel drive chassis, for the ultimate FWD experience. All with the same levels of comfort from across the Quasar range.

Full details for both these cars will soon be presented at the Baltazar Automóveis thread.

Zenshi Seiryu ZMD '18
The Seiryu is a small 2-seater mid-engined sports car created by Zenshi and Cavalera in 2017. It possessed the aggressive elegance of Zenshi’s Shinka design with the sporty driving dynamics of a of Cavalera. For what it was, it came in various styles ranging from a comfort model to a hardcore sports model.
ZMD had something else in mind when it came to the Seiryu.
The result came out as the Seiryu ZMD, a car that borderlines on insane, while having the capability to keep itself in check.
The ZMD variant of the Seiryu is heavily adorned with extreme aerodynamic elements such as heavy lips and a large wing to provide a supple amount of downforce when it glides down roads and tracks.
But the massive aero treatment isn’t what makes this car crazy. It’s what’s inside. Under the hood of this Seiryu lies a rather peculiar engine for such a small car: a 4.0L SZ40 V8 making over 500 HP. This specially made V8 created by ZMD themselves is tuned for high-end performance, and it shows. Mated to a 6-Speed Manual, the V8 propels the tough puppy to 100 km/h below 3 seconds, up to a blistering top speed of 338 km/h.
The ZMD version of the Seiryu will come to Japanese dealerships early January 2018, and worldwide by the following month.
