Hello people! I have MANY cars to submit to you for spotting, almost all of them are historical ones, but one is completely new and will have it’s premiere at nearest Motor Shows
1990 Airborne Arthemis
Nuff said. Airborne Automotive in 1990 was invited to parcitipate in the Out of Africa challenge. The rules were very restricted (for the company that was specialized in mid-expensive builds). Anyway, the company made the Arthemis; biggest entry with almost TWO THOUSAND litre trunk, 4 seats, low kerb weight and made it as a pretty good off-roader. Sadly enough, it had the same issue as almost all Airbornes of these times; a bad handling. This was however pretty comfortable for a true man that needs this car for work or to train his body, hehe. It was powered, which was unlikely for Airborne in 1990, by SOHC Inline 4 engine with single carburetor making 125 PS. The redline was placed at 5100 RPM. The car was pretty reliable, despite fact that it was made to be as cheapest as possible. Arthemis was produced to 2006 and was sold only in Africa. It was unavailable to sell at authorised african Airborne shop (we don’t have one till now ;( ) and it was imported from Poland.
Despite some difficulties, the Arthemis was sold in amount of 33 thousand units. It’s price was pretty acceptable for such a big vehicle - 4.860 $ in 1990. The car didn’t made a big success in OAC challenge - it was 18th, and to being ironic, guy at 17th was a CEO of PolMot company with a Gobi car, that was much smaller and nimbler and it came from Poland. However today we can be proud from this what Arthemis made.
2016 Airborne S310
Yeah. The S series cars. If you’re old enough, you may remember cars such as S200, S220, S240 and S290. They were all from our company. Now the successor of them is coming!
The S310 continues the tradition of S-named Airborne cars and is made to battle with huge variety of cars; Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86, V6 Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang (V6 and I4 ecoboost) with combination of classical red paint from S200, modern design inspired by other cars of our company, such as Alpha or very successful Lambda, which is selling as fast as fresh bread, but anyway, let’s get back to S310. It’s engine (naturally aspirated 3,1 litre V6) generates 282 PS, which is VERY GOOD result for a entry-level sports coupe (however we plan something more entry-level for Ray Corporation, which just got reborn and it’s ours, maybe something based on Orbit for RZ Motors?). It’s performance we need to keep in secret for now, but we can tell that the car can probably reach 280 km/h and it probably needs 5 seconds to 100 km/h. If you want one - you’ll have to wait for it and it will be sold at price of 42.640 $. At this price you’re getting pretty cool looking vehicle with mid-level luxury equipment, good performance and pretty looks.
More cars coming tomorrow! Don’t forget also to tell your opinions about these two!
