By the way, I thought you don’t want any cars for the magazine because of big update 
Well, as soon as the open beta is launched I will be searching for cars to review! Whenever I’m ready I’ll send you a PM.
QUOTING WITH IMAGES FROM NEW YORK AUTO SHOW THREAD. DON’T BAN ME, IT’S DIFFERENT THREAD AND I WANTED TO SHARE CARS WITHOUT WRITING EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH
[quote=“Oskiinus”]Hello and welcome to Airborne Automotive stand. We’re Polish company that produces cars from 1948 and today we want to present to you our newest models and some historical ones to show how the company was doing at those moments.
Today we present to you new models. First one is Xy’s new generation to replace one produced from 2015. Don’t worry, all orders for previous gen will be done and the car will be in production to 2017 just to fulfill orders. New generation, however will be produced like previous one: in variants of Standard one, Sport (S), GT and GTS to take heritage and unused body panels from Xy GT Sport tuned by Battalion Tuning Team. Engines will be also new, since previous ones couldn’t pass the emissions test. New engines are 1998cc Inline 4 with turbocharging in all variants up to GT and 2200cc V6 with twin turbo in GTS. Talking about statistics would be pretty useless, since you can see them on the stand.
If we talk about pricing, we can tell that first propositions (may change later) for the prices are:
Standard: 16.120 $
S: 21.930 $
GT: 26.620 $
GTS: 32.290 $
Next car is Megi Twin Turbo. You may remember normal Megi, our newest V12 monster that reutilizes many parts from Centenario and Cerberus and has whooping score of almost 800 hp from NA engine? Well, we had also plans for other cars from Megi line. One of them is twin turbo. Practically track-limited monster with economy of steam train, 1500 hp on rear wheels and big ass spoiler? What do you need more? By the way, car is supposed to go almost 400 km/h and needs approx 2.5-2.7 seconds to 100 km/h.
Price is unknown, will probably be over million dollars per unit.
Next car on the show is our brand new model: after creations of Ray Automobiles and RZ Automotive, our sister brands, finally we could also make a city car, and when RZ focused on compactness and city usage in Aranaut, Ray focused on basic equipment and drivability on their Senpai, we, at Airborne focused on making our city car sportier. This is interior-wise and chassis-wise twin of RZ Aranaut and Ray Senpai - but different idea. This car has inline 4 with 150 (!) hp which gives it serious punch. For now it will be available in only one trim, for 13.260 $.
Now let’s focus on historical cars - this strange minivan that you see is third generation and last one of Airborne Omicron produced from 1988 to 1994. Despite strange looks and even more stranger performance for minivan in segment of Pontiac Trans Sport it sold extremely well (like Omicron Mk1), because it fitted perfectly in lifestyle of racing drivers that also just created their families. Omicron MK3 is also one of few Airbornes to ever feature hydropneumatic suspension. It’s powerplant was turbocharged 3.0 litre V6 that generated 260 hp on 5000 RPM. It’s also probably the only Airborne (in pre-2000 era) that could seat 7 passengers in standard and had sliding doors. It’s also the only model which production was moved from Los Angeles, USA plant to Warsaw, Poland plant and was second car after Synth to be produced fully in Poland (from 1989).
Funfact: it’s speedometer is scaled to 300 km/h, but don’t be hyped, it doesn’t reach those speeds 250 km/h from hill was it’s maximum.
The last car we want to present to you today is 1998 Airborne Synth GT1 Stradale. In 1994 some spy photographers discovered prototype marked as Synth RS. Of course, we’ve planned Synth RS, but in 1996 due to massive costs and possibility to convert it into GT1 racer it was scrapped. After four years development in total Synth GT1 was presented. Despite two years after Synth’s production cut (which happened in 1996) it still reutilised it’s name for reason that it used many parts from this mid-size car. Synth GT1 in it’s racing spec raced in only one race: 24h Le Mans qualifying. After this race it was classified by FIA as terrifying, impossible to beat and too insane to race and got instantly banned. Company was left with 10 unused bodies, which got converted into street versions. Even in street specs, GT1 was insanely fast machine - it could easily beat Porsche 911 GT1 Strassenversion and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, not speaking about Nissan R390. It featured 5,5 litre V8 flatplane which generated insane 673 hp on 5800 RPM. Combined with almost zero wheelspin, this thing was launching like from crossbow. It was also one of first Airbornes to massively use carbon fiber in it’s body and pushrod suspension. Despite it’s racing roots it was pretty useable as long-distance GT, only if you could suffer V8 sound behind your back. At it’s time Synth GT1 wasn’t cheap - it costed 500.000 $, and we also have info about whereabouts of all 10 units:
#1: stands at Airborne Automotive museum in Warsaw
#2 (this one with sprayed GT1 on it’s back): stands in CEO’s private collection
#3: belongs to Los Angeles collector
#4: totaled after accident in 2004
#5: not perfectly known, but probably one of KHT’s or BTT’s engineers owned it back in past (not sure about it, just rumors, we lost track after this car in 2008)
#6 to #8 (not painted ones): belong in order to Jay Leno, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sabine Schmitz
#9 (only green one with stripes): belongs to Jeremy Clarkson
#10: totaled after accident on the track in Abu Dhabi
#11 (race spec): stands at Airborne museum’s secret sections; not presented to public

News from Airborne Automotive’s Facebook page:
"Hello people, you may noticed that we temporarily stopped production of practically of our models, leaving only Haiyan and Lambda - those models that were best selling from our company. Aside from this, we plan to release following models and simplify lineup in order after GAR project:
1. Unnamed city car (probably Mimas) - Basic, Eco and Sport variant
2. Next production Xy after Mk3 Concept - in basic variants like Normal (new name for Standard), Eco, S and GT and non-mass variants based on co-op with our Singaporean friends, those are GTS, GTS Evolution, GTS Evolution S and GTR
3. Next gen Alpha heavily based on Mk2 RS concept released back this year; will feature Standard, Premium (new name for Luxury variant), S and RS variants; wagon version will be called Gamma (US, Australia and Japan, all of the Europe except Italy) and Alpha Estate (Italy-only name) it will also receive at least one sporty version
4. Omega will be cancelled and transformed into Lambda; this time Lambda will be offered in both sedan and wagon
5. Cherry will be offered in both roadster and coupe
6. Rea gets sadly cancelled, but revamped Haiyan will fit the slot perfectly - we also plan to make sort of concept that would show one japanese corporation how they should make their cars 
- also speaking about Haiyan, it will be more oriented also to track than raw power and wild drifts, you know, hence it’s a track car
7. We’ll add V8 mid engined beauty to compete for example with Lamborghini Huracan and Ferrari 488 to the offer
8. Megi at current form will be cut - it was too expensive to let it go into production even in limited series, so we’ll develop production version with similar performance (or even better), but lower costs
9. Centenario will be offered in 1917 units as scheduled with no changes, same goes to Knossos production plan.
And yes, unlike Saminda we actually have money, people and reliable cars and tech to base on them when making massive changes. All models are scheduled to be launched to July 2017, starting from now.

Guess who’s back?
2017 Airborne Cherry
Well, new-gen Cherry is finally done! Favourite spartan roadster of our customers since 1961 got it’s new generation. Today it’s one of it’s kind - says “no” for downsizing and turbocharging by having naturally aspirated 1.9 litre inline 4 under the hood. Also, as for true Airborne stands, it has rear-wheel-drive, sporty feel, great manual gearbox (our speciality), of course steel monocoque body and special body colours! Can be yours for 17.310 USD (without taxes, import fee and stuff).
Racing brrakes are available for 1.000 USD, they short braking distance to 32 metres. 
2016 Airborne S310 production ver
Well, you may remember our pre-production S310 by utopian201’s test. He criticized along with some other people that the car handles pretty bad and has sh**ty brakes. Well, we corrected this. We also changed looks, you know, for better marketing. Engine has been revamped too - gets better fuel mileage and more power (pre-production had 280 hp, current model has 306). Also it’s a bit faster - now 5.5 seconds to 100 km/h and 268 km/h top speed. Available with 29.960 $ price tag.
Also, Cherry and S310 are first cars in company to use our special water-cooled brakes tech; when brakes are extremely hot, it uses water (normal H2O, you know) to cool them down.
CZ7 Concept is already on ship going to Saminda’s HQ in Japan, Xy and Mimas need final adjustments and some idiot crashed both Alpha Standard and Comfort variant, leaving RS only in tact.
Tell me what do you think, and would you see more cars from revamped company?

It’s the color that stayed as the primary model color since 1961 and it’s first debut, sry 
I just like it
Aw sorry.
Airborne Cherry could be my new rival for my new roadster.
Just wait and see. uh… wink wink?
Wink as f**k
Naming CZ7 after CZ6? is that legit ??? 
S310 looks nice. 10/10 would own one ( gonna change my Saminda C3 to a more powerful vehicle)
CZ7 is kind of design exercise for our designeers and kind of insult for ceasing CZ6 
also it was like “Look, we can do a supercar that has epic performance and no fucking massive recalls” xD
I can always change the name if Starfish isn’t okay with this.
Surprisingly enough, Bogliq released 200 Sport, and my 1976 S200 is acronym for Sport 200… Coincidence?
Also company named Vyctor used name Chimera, so well… I would make a drama for copying the full lineup, but for one name? Yamaha plz xD
IRL there were really lots of cars with the same names. I’ve even read an article “All cars named Ranger”, and the list wasn’t short
Making repost just because it’s also my company’s car. Don’t kill me Killrob. 
Today at 6:32 London Time one covered supercar was delivered to Saminda headquarters and driven into open garage with test models. Then it got uncovered and secretly unveiled as CZ7 Concept.
Well, Airborne CZ7 Concept is something made purely to show Saminda in which direction they can also go (even by sub-companies or coop); economical, but powerful units. Engine of this thing is a 4000cc V6 based on CZ6’s engine that was sourced from totaled unit.
As Airborne’s tradition says, they used classic monocoque chassis made from carbon fibre (strongly based on Megi pre-production concept) and assembled to carbon fibre bodyshell. Wheels are also made from carbon fibre.
Suspension is however something pretty new to company; they are full-prepared pushrods to provide most sporty experience possible in a sports car. According to Airborne’s reputation about great gearboxes they installed 7-speed sequential box delivered straight from Haiyan and AWD drivetrain with torque placed more to rear than to front to avoid understeer. Sadly, due to aerodynamic needs CZ7 also has gargantuicly big rear wing and massive front lip.
About performance, well - this car needs only 2.7 seconds to 100 km/h, can reach 326 km/h (it can even 365 with AERO OFF mode, but we don’t recommend it ). Brakes are delivered straight from Cerberus limited hypercar and set up for racing, so the car brakes from 100 km/h from distance well below 30 metres.

You should check also Synth GT1 from 1998 (in this thread) - fitted the wing on it also pretty well
Post from 4.03.2016. Adding it here for sake of completiness of my designs related to here.
Today at stand of Airborne Motor Group one small man (approx 1,40 m tall) walked on the scene and uncovered the boxy kei car that was under yellow coat. After that he described shortly the new car: Senpai, and asked for frequently asked questions on conference, as below:
I like to bring you here today at stand of whole Airborne Motor Group. I’m presenting to you, as new CEO of Ray Automobiles, our new car, the Senpai. We used that name, because we like to think that we are the older and more experienced company in the motor group we are actually in. Speaking about the car, it’s a kei car, fits under regulations. It’s not the best car in the world, however we designed it to be one of the cars that newbie Japanese driver can select for small amount of money. It’s designed for young people just wanting a car, but hey, we will also give them possibilities to personalize their Senpai! We can paint the car in any color that customer will want, even sparkling pink! If you will ask about the price, it’s 14.000 USD. Now just watch the car, because I feel sick…
By the way - Ray Automobiles’s CEO is named Tsubuya Hirachinaka, is 34 years old (born in 1982) and has problems with legs and stress, so he isn’t appearing that much on scene. After this press show, he told privately one reviewer that long-awaited Shibatron is being finalized.
Below, identity card for Senpai:
please notice senpai and gib opinions, kawaii desu ne <3
Personalizing my senpai?
Does that mean I can have it with twin tails, hair decorations and Grade S ZR?
