Here is Calvinator’s first mini van. Royal recently released the Royal Wagon, which prompted Calvinator to build and release the Sublime. At a relatively low cost for a Calvinator ($93K), you can have a Calvinator Sublime. Its a minivan with a V8!!!
The car can go 213 mph and reach 60mph from stand still in only 4 seconds.
It has a 373 ci V8 engine with over 600 BHP.
It also happens to be rear wheel drive.

the lights dim and the following short video is shown
Darkness descends the stage.
The lights start to flash purple green and gold, Darkshines walks on to the stage while a car under covers is lit up in the spotlight before the entire stage is lit up.
G’day ladies and gentleman thank you for attending this first reveal from DSD. We at DSD believe we must enjoy and protect this planet and the great continent of Australia and that will not be done with electric vehicles that rely on coal powered power stations to provide their spark. Instead we have adopted a approach that has been used in rail transport for decades, using a internal combustion engine to recharge the batteries to a much larger more powerful electric motor.
Thanks to the kind people at Saminda we were able to use a MCA series engine modified to only power the batteries to the electric engines when required. This is the beginning of a new era for DSD and we could not have done it without the kind help of Saminda.
The most modern of engine was only ever going to be used in the most modern of vehicles ladies and gents the SAMBAR!
The Cover is taken off the car and it starts to rotate
Darkshines is lit up by a spotlight pacing around the car
Clean lines. That was the name of the brief. Inside this long sleek 2 door saloon/limousine resides a 5 seat trimmed in red deer leather selected from my own wild red deer hunted from my property Mt Stanley. The HUD is top of the line, voice activation can be calibrated to the owner of the car in the case of being used as a limo. So even in the case of the owner being in the rear seat they have full control over all functions of the vehicle excluding driving the car.
The suspension can be tweaked by the occupant also in this manner, at anytime the rear occupant can ask the cars system to soften or stiffen the air suspension to suit the day or mood.
This truly is a car for 2018. And of coarse this is a DSD vehicle so you can expect the highest of safety features and driver assistance aids. And you can expect to pay only $35000 Automation dollars for an example.
We hope you will enjoy the car in the coming year thank ladies and gents, Look after each other, goodbye.
Below are the stats for the vehicle and a export file

Umm we would like to announce that darkshines may have had a gew shandies before announcing that dsd is working with Saminda…um we are not we are working with MAESIMA ummmm sorry
Luke knew setting up the Storm Automotive display was going to be tricky, but, he’d asked for the best drivers from the Raceworks Division to give a helping hand. There would be more to this entrance to the Auto Show than just casually showing up, unloading cars from trailers, and hoping everyone noticed.
“Everyone ready?”
“Sure, boss. You’re certain these old relics will hold up to this?”
“I worked on them myself. While the Prince can’t do much, all it has to do is lead the charge. The Demon, from John Storm’s notes, is a handful, so keep that in mind. I’ve got the Wildcat, because it’s the handful. The Piranha Concept’s going to be an unknown element, so keep it gentle on that gas pedal, because we really don’t know what’s going to happen. As for the Shadow, go for making the crowd go wild in that electric car.”
“Got it. Everyone, on three!”
“One.”
“Two!”
“Three!”
The sound of screaming engines and squealing tires suddenly filled the air as the Storm Raceworks Division burst down the streets of Detroit to the auto show, a coordinated effort of precision driving in cars ranging from the oldest Storm had ever made to the latest electric super sedan, from race cars to radical concepts, and from modest street cars to insane performance editions.
Leading the pack was the eldest car in the lineup, hurtling down the street to where Storm’s designated area was located.
Shortly following that was the bright yellow Demon GRX, V12 screaming and howling to the crowd as it kept the tires spinning most of the way to the destination, with the 8th place ribbon from the Dalnit-Bralka Rally of 1965 showing proudly, having been hung around the rear view mirror.
Luke himself was behind the wheel of the 2011 Storm Wildcat, in Envy trim. Having practiced in the parking lot of their Nevada Assembly Plant, Luke felt comfortable enough pulling the handbrake turn next to the priceless Demon rally car, settling the poison-green beast next to the much louder and significantly more obnoxious rally machine.
Following not much further behind was the nearly-silent Arc Blue sedan, the Shadow. The driver unsettled the car with a practiced flick of the wheel and sent the electric sedan into a heavy slide, aided by the extra weight in the trunk.
The last car to arrive made a terrifying sound as it approached. The Pirahna Concept vehicle was Luke’s little project, a completely mental idea based on placing two small V8 engines into the same car.
Once all the cars had been parked, Luke opened the trunk of the Shadow, where he removed a folded up engine stand, followed by one other item for display. At the same time, promotional information was put out for the Shadow, and cards for the other cars available.
Luke grabbed the microphone, understanding the location was far bigger than he could cover with his own audio output without risking damage, then said, “Storm Automotive has never been to one of these auto shows before. Thereby, I knew we had to make an impression, one that would be remembered throughout the event. While our cars may not be as memorable as those of our competitors here today, and while others will undoubtedly attempt the same sort of stunts, I ask that you consider checking out what we have to offer.”
He motioned toward the Arc Blue Shadow, then said, “We have listened to the enthusiasts and the environmentalists. While this Shadow is purely electric, we will have other versions available soon. Some of you may remember the 10 year anniversary edition, the one that packed a thousand horsepower AluStar III V8 under the hood. We will have 4, 6, and 8 cylinder Hybrids available again, and we will also have those engines available without hybrid technology. Our other cars on display are those that have some significance to the company. The Pirahna Concept is, well, one of my projects, an idea that I’ve been working on for quite some time, and while the technology is far from viable right now, I can honestly say that having one good thing is great, but two is better.”
A little appetizer for the incoming onslaught of world premieres…
Cavallera has confirmed to journalists at Detroit that they will be showcasing, however they plan to turn up by the 12th of January and have a display open to the very last day, the 22nd.
Arzami Des Voitures would like to present before the Arzami stage the MS-014, or HUD Concept in its entirety. The main point of this vehicle is not the engine, or the design. It would be the Heads-Up Display stretching the entire dome. This is the advancement needed for self-driving cars, as it allows the driver and passengers to relax slightly, as the car used these display units, such as traffic tracking, and lane assist.
This Concept has a high chance of finding it’s tech in the next series of ADV Luxury vehicles. ADV are also working closely with international tech companies to help advance the idea and application of Self-Driving vehicles. We hope to have a self-driving vehicle hit the road for mass sale by 2020.
Thank you for your time reading this. Expect the first vision of the self-driving car at the next Auto Show.
All pics in stats pictures are raw-taken from game, so don’t bitch about weird lights and stuff lol, Aquila has black TAR 1990 plates actually
Now read my “roleplay” part actually xD
Airborne Automotive’s stand, 08.07.2017
Everything’s quiet. At morning all of the cars to be showcased drive on the exposition - they’re delivered on wheels after 614 mile journey from New York’s JFK Airport to Detroit. The exposition was opened at 9 AM local time, and at 10 AM first guests were coming for scheduled presentation at 11 AM.
11 AM. Press conference starts. Airborne’s Japanese marketing manager, widely known as Mei Onashikara goes on the stand and speaks, pointing at cars:
Hello people of Detroit! How are you? here are some thumbs up in the audience. Okay, okay. But my primary goal here is not to make new friends, however I would like to, but I need to present to you Airborne Automotive’s new car that hits Japanese market after thirty years of being absent there and as well to remain probably Hypera’s worst pain in the arsehole, our sportscar prototype, Aquila, which can be legally shown after cough twenty-five years. So, maybe let’s begin with it?
1990 Airborne Aquila
(stats picture)
Mei: This is, folks, Airborne Aquila, probably one of most controversial cars of Airborne. Created in early 1990 with massive help with Hypera’s engineer, Lauritz Magnussen from Sweden which got fired and went to Airborne for better money for his job. So, well, he continued to work with all them, secretly using projects of unfinished Hypera’s prototype. In final, when the car got presented at late 1990 people from Hypera noticed that Aquila is WAY TOO similar to their project and investigated the case. In final Aquila was confirmed as a unpermitted copy of Hypera’s car, which caused Airborne Automotive to pay massive amount of money for this to Hypera, as well they needed to destroy all Aquilas and it’s projects and in government this case was ended in 1991 by telling Airborne to do things above. But, well, there was one employee which found a hideout near company’s secret track which was built at the time, and put it LITERALLY UNDER THE ROAD, plus even without CEO’s knowledge. But, since the case was cancelled anyway on 31st December 2016 we can legally show the car here and later in the museum.
But, let’s go to technicals - Aquila itself is perfect base for rally car - it has compact inline 6 engine with 1.6 liter capacity - probably one of smallest inline sixes ever - generating something above 240 horsepower. This wouldn’t be of course possible if turbocharging wasn’t used. Another interesting thing about this sportscar is that it has AWD, of course because copy, but also has pushrod suspension! If it would enter production by then, who knows, it may be first Airborne with pushrod suspension that went into production? But nevermind, if we talk about performance - this setup, with somewhat light body could push the car to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds and it could reach 255 km/h. But, let’s go to another car.
2017 Airborne Yujin
Mei: Uhh, Yujin. Our second try at producing kei cars, and it’s pretty nice. It was designed to be somewhat everyday kei with sporty touch. It features sporty interior, standard entertainment - because who the fucking hell needs car like Tesla? If you want an iPad, just buy iPad for fucks sake! But, let’s go back to polite, chill presentation. Japanese version of Yujin Coupe features high-revving, yet still reliable and economical 0.66 liter inline 3 without turbocharging which generates 62 hp and can rev to 8700 RPM. This, combined with low curb weight below metric tonne and 6 gear manual gearbox can give nice results of 13.5 seconds to 100 km/h and electronically limited top speed of 180 km/h to comply with Japanese regulations. We also have European version, which uses 1.1 litre inline 4 with turbocharging from our Mimas base car. With 98 hp and shorter gear ratios Yujin EU can reach 9.7 seconds to 100 km/h at cost of top speed, which is only 166 km/h. Everything is the same as in Japanese version, well, except position of steering wheel * laughs *
Mei points at Yujin Cabrio and speaks: Well, this is our convertible Yujin, sadly available only in Japan, but if you live in Europe you probably won’t have much problem to import it - it is just not available on mass production in this part of the world. Actually it has same equipment to coupe Yujins and features the same drivetrain and underneath components as standard coupe, so well. However, it has stiffer sway bars to comply with reduced body stiffness and actually now sway bars are like taken from a racecar, they’re even more stiff than they were in F15 Patricia. Seriously.
Performance wise, this car is slower than Yujin coupe - it has 15 seconds to 100 km/h time and can reach 174 km/h. You can also close your roof while driving, but you can close it up to 30 km/h, otherwise the roof will probably detach and gooo awaaaay, like your hoooooopes… laugh
But let’s get serious, here we have serious bomb of the show, my very own design which I designed from pure boredom and fact that this annoying old mexican Cossarini was gone on holidays. Let me present to you, S340 C1!
Here Mei uncovers S340 concept. Everyone takes photos and probably even after 1 minute after presenting the car is now everywhere in social media. After that Mei speaks again, this time about this concept.
This car is something that wouldn’t go into production in this exact form, but it was made as sort of manifest what design direction you can expect in S models. We’re not going anywhere from pure manual experience and natural aspiration of the engine. Instead, we’re keen on VVT and Direct Injection systems, which give better economy and better power, better everything! According to traditions written by our precedessors, the choice for drivetrain couldn’t be different - 3.4 litre V6 engine with direct injection and without turbos generating 314 horsepower and revving to eight thousand RPMs. Suspension-wise, we featured active sport double wishbone suspension which has been refined for sports use. And, I guess it’s reliable even in concept form if it drove 614 miles in winter through eastern USA, right? 
We haven’t tested it’s top speed yet, so company bases on computer calculation of 268 km/h. However, we could test acceleration. 5.3 seconds to 100 km/h from standstill and 2.9 seconds from 80 to 120 km/h. S340 features premium equipment with digital HUD instead of classic speedometer and tachometer and has enlarged front windshield splitted in two parts, so you can open the sunroof. Nice, isn’t it?
Okay, now I wait for Gavin Anderson, he wanted an interview with me. Meanwhile, folks, let me wish good time on the show and have fun!
Quick development on the Brivio delivery situation, the semi truck driver has been detained as the police found traces of alcohol in his system, so now our driver is waiting to be returned back to Italy, so now the team is stranded until they can quickly find a truck driver to haul the car the rest of the way to the airport, we will update you with further info when it comes in.
Alex Hindsley, Brivio Marketing Department
Although very late, EADC will be sharing a stall with OAM this year in NAIAS. EADC plans to unveil the 2017 redesign of the Verona alongside the new Weasel hatchback, and a new concept for the EADC Vole MkIV as well as the old classics.
##Other stuff
@CadillacDave Upon hearing about the this development with Brivo’s delivery, EADC and OAM would be happy to send over a substitute driver to transport your cars to Detroit!
Thank you, that is a very kind offer, we will be back on the road in no time thanks to you, you have saved the day for us, our poor marketing team have been running around like headless chickens for the past few days trying to sort this mess out, if you ever need anything don’t be afraid to ask, you will be doing us a huge favour by sending a substitute driver
Markus Brivio, Manager, Brivio USA
No problem, OAM and EADC are always happy to help others!
#Introducing the 2017 Baltazar Quasar RS325.
After the successful introduction of the standard Quasar range at the end of 2016, with several accolades, including being voted as the Best Looking Mainstream Car of 2016 and winning a head to head comparison with tough rivals Saminda and Znopresk, it is now time to present the hot hatch version.
Powered by the same 2.0 engine already present on the US Market Quasar, only now it’s been breathed upon to deliver a staggering 325 hp. All that power is channelled through all four wheels via either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed twin clutch automatic. That combination is capable of achieving impressive numbers, such as a 4.8s 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) time and a top speed of nearly 270 kph (167 mph).
All of that for just $28,080
The first model we are unveiling for the 2017 NAIAS is the Theia. the Theia is one of two cars based on the Gaia platform, and is our most affordable car with a projected price of $28700.
Theia is the Greek Titaness of Brightness and mother to Helios (the Sun), Selena (the Moon), and Eos (the Dawn), and daughter of Gaia.
We feel that name fits both the cars more universal appeal, and that it’s the smaller of the 2 Gaia platform cars.
The Theia is powered by a 2.8L V6 delivering 176hp, so it’s smooth and sporty.
0-62 is dealt with in 7.6 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 148mph. not bad for a car that does 30MPG combined.
if any journalists would like to test this car, don’t hesistate to come to the JHW booth and book a test drive.
The river automotive ceo johnson, was waiting impatiently for the truck to be unloaded but was aprroached by the main engineer mike.
“Sir we got a problem with three of our cars!”
"What’s the problem?"Johnson asked
“We are not sure yet but it might be the engine & the surprise concept also has problem starting up"mike answered
The CEO let out a heavy sigh"So we only have one functional car right now, darn well let’s roll them inside and let us look if we can fix the problem.”
With that said the team of engineers brought the car inside and started the work on the cars.
Well let’s hope we can fix that
Have you fitted Saminda engines to your cars?
lol no, its probably a fault in our end
##Daily Round-Up - Day 1
Welcome back to Splendid Auto Monthly’s coverage of the Detroit Auto Show 2017. It’s been a very busy first day with a whole host of announcements and reveals from all corners of the Automation world, and we’ve only just got started.
The displays halls were packed within a few hours of doors opening, with more people than ever before coming on day 1, a new record for the show. There was a focus on sports coupes today, though the variety was astounding. Whether this is an indicator for what to expect this year from the automotive industry, we don’t know yet.
Time to go over all the action from day 1 of Detroit 2017!
Today’s musical accompaniment is Over The Waves Waltz by Juventino Rosas.
Calvinator celebrate 50 years of the Bruiser with anniversary model
Calvinator kicked things off at 9am on the dot, merely seconds after the show opened, to reveal a 50th anniversary model of their Bruiser muscle car, though it seems to have been turned into a hypercar. The 261 mph monster will be going on sale for little over $90k, which appears to make it an incredible bargain. However, we are slightly concerned at the complete lack of any aero work, which does raise some questions about high speed stability…
Opinion split on the bold new Rapier concept from Megacorp
Megacorp’s exccentric new Rapier concept already looks to be a contender for ‘Most Unusual Car’ at this year’s show, and opinion was split over what people made of it. We asked people on Twitter what they thought, and responses ranged from “What in the name of f-” to “Where do I place my order?”
The Rapier seemingly blends design characteristics of cars from the 30s - with its chrome lines, tall grill and long, thin body - with modern design styles, and is certainly a striking vehicle. The chrome gills and side exhausts all point to this thing being a powerful beast, though no specs have been released yet.
Brivio postpone their keynote at the last minute
The keynote theatre was packed by 5 to 11 this morning as we waited for Brivio to reveal what they’ve brought along, but we soon received news that the massive traffic jam on Highway 94 was being caused by the broken-down convoy that was bringing their vehicles along. Said keynote has been rescheduled for tomorrow evening.
DSD dazzle with hybrid-powered Samba
The queue for the deli in the Cobo Center foodcourt was huge by 12:30 as everyone rushed to grab lunch before DSD’s first keynote of the show. It was the usual affair for the company: plenty of theatre and special effects, and it certainly got the crowd going. The brand new Sambar was soon unveiled, a whole new type of hybrid and the first from the company.
But immediately there was confusion. While on stage, Darkshine was thanking Saminda for providing the engine for the Sambar, the press release given by DSD stated that Maesima had provided the engine. However, this confusion was overwhelmed by the spectacle of their display. Feature after feature was rolled off - head up display, full leather interior, active suspension that can be controlled by passengers in the rear of the car - we were certainly very impressed.
While details of the actual hybrid system powering the Sambar were limited, it certainly left an impression. DSD have set a new standard for eco vehicles.
Storm open up their display with spectacular street parade
Storm brought some noise to the streets of Detroit this afternoon in the form of their Raceworks Division piloting a whole range of their vehicles down to the Cobo Center. A very well kept example of the Prince from 1955 led the way, it’s once revolutionary styling still looking incredible even today. Shortly following this was the infamous Demon GRX, the first ever V12 rally car, that competed in the 1965 Dalnit-Bralka rally. Its distinct yellow livery was a joy to see once more.
On the new car front was the much anticipated, electric powered Shadow, cruising in complete silence through the main hall doors. We cannot wait to get behind the wheel of this thing later on this year. Contrasting the quiet of the Shadow was the roar of a groundbreaking twin-engined coupe called the Piranha, which is powered by two 360hp V8s connected to two gearboxes. We’re as confused as you are.
IMP tease a whole host of new utility vehicles
The IMP display is still currently hidden away behind a mass of TV screens, displaying what they will be showing off later on in the show. More to follow.
Arzami reveal self-driving HUD Concept
Behind the minimalist styling of the Arzami HUD Concept sits years of research; the new concept was revealed this afternoon, and rumours about its massive windscreen-glass roof combo were proven true. Whilst not on sale just yet, the technology behind the car was shown off to the public, and it certainly looks to be revolutionary.
An incredible amount of work has been put into developing the gorgeous heads up display found on the car, which includes full Sat-Nav and media integration. The promise of a self-driving version of this car later on in the year is also very exciting indeed.
Airborne show off a range of coupes
1 old and 2 new coupes were on display today at Airborne’s stand, showcasing the companies long history of making sports coupes. The Aquila, which caused huge controversy back in the 1990s for being a copy of a Hypera prototype, sat here today like an elder statesman, alongside its new relatives, the Yujin and S340.
The Yujin is an all new kei-coupe that will be hitting Japan and European dealerships this year, and long time readers of S.A.M. will know how much we love a mini-coupe. The stats look very promising for both versions; even if the car is comparatively slow compared to other low-end coupes, it is undeniably cool thanks to how small it is.
Also on show was the new S340, a V6 powered mid-range sports car. It looks set to take on equivalent German coupes thanks to its 5.3 second 0-60 time and 268 kmh top speed.
JHW re-enters the compact market with the Theia
The brand new Theia was launched today, an unusually shaped two door compact from JHW. The well specced and abstract looking car is being sold with a 2.8l V6, which should offer some uniquness against competition from Adenine, Maesima, Erin, Samdina and the lot. Pricing looks to be in the mid to upper level range.
Baltazar return to the hot-hatch market with the RS325
It was an exciting end to the day as Baltazar revealed the handsome Quasar RS325. The Brazillian giant’s return to the hot-hatch sector has been long awaited, and the specs of the new car are incredibly competitive - able to keep up with the fastest hot hatches on sale today despite prices starting at just $28k. We’ve already booked our test drives for when the car is released.
That rounds up the days events. While all this was going on, we somehow managed to squeeze a few interviews in as well.
Mei from the marketing department of Airborne joined us in our press room this afternoon for a chat about what Airbone have brought to this year’s show.
We also managed to snag a quick word with one of the team from Calvinator whilst down at their display.
Whew! That concludes today’s round-up. I am knackered, so it’s back to the hotel for me. See you guys tomorrow for more from Detroit 2017. Gavin out.
- Gavin Anderson
Were the interviews done with the heads of the specific company? Like did you message Oskiinus to perform the interview or just come up with it yourself?
Mei Onashikara is Airborne’s main marketing manager, she went to Detroit instead of CEO. This interview is magic of roleplay.
And I kinda came myself with proposition
