It looks like the Quasar will also make a smooth transition to UE4. I’m expecting a rundown of the range in short order. That just leaves the Zeppelin and Kilimanjaro…

More information on the new year.

While scanning the forums, I found a Baltazar model that has so far not been mentioned in this thread: the Beluga. From what I recall, it was a mid-late-90s large luxury car, so why does this thread not feature it? I reckon it could be down to the Beluga being a non-canonical model that does not fit in with the company history, even in the pre-UE4 era.
By the way, that screenshot of the remastered Quasar’s rear end has only convinced me to buy one even more, were it to exist in real life.
Yeah, the Beluga is very much a non-canon car. Back then I didn’t have any non-canon tags and I didn’t think so deeply for lore. That may become an even bigger problem in the near future, as I feel an increasing need for an american brand. The question here would be, keep it as a non-lore company and create another one or keep bush as the american arm?

Happy new year! And here is a gift from Baltazar.
The 2018 Baltazar Quasar
For the second year in the row, the Quasar has been elected the best common car of the Automationverse. First, the sedan won the prize and then the hatchback model.
Now, in 2018, the Quasar is reborn in UE4. In the transition the now classic looks have been maintained. The sleek and refined headlights have been reimagined and the front bumper now features a distinct look, with ever more aggressive vents and fog lights. Meanwhile, the rear has barely been changed, with the trapezoidal rear lights still integrated visually by two elements, the lower one always in black and the upper one in black plastic, body colour or chrome depending on the trim level.
The engine range, on the other hand, is new. Gone are the old inline 4 engines, in come revised versions of the inline 3 turbocharged engine. Introduced in 2013, this new engine family brings advanced technology, like direct injection, a low-inertia turbocharging system and variable valve timing on both cams. In the Quasar, this engine is available in 3 different configurations; 1.0, 1.2 and 1.35, with 95, 120 and 140 hp, respectively.
Together with the 2.0 turbocharged engine used in the sporty Quasar models, these engines comprise the European line-up, giving an option to every customer.
NAFTA, Latin America, China and Southeast Asia have a 2.0 NA option, with 160-165 hp, with the inline 3 engines not available to those markets.

Looks nice and sensible as always and the engine lineup is realistic… with one exception. China has tax brackets on 1.5 and 2.5 litre engines AFAIK, so giving them a 2.0 instead of a 1.35 would be a bit illogical.
I completely forgot about the tax brackets.
However, a quick google has told me that the tax is 3% for engines under 1.5 litres and 5% for engines between 1.5 and 2.0. A 2.0 engine without a turbo should be a bit cheaper to make than the 3-cyl unit, meaning, the 2.0 might still come out cheaper. Further investigation will follow.

I really love that design! The rounded-edge triangle theme is really cool—it makes it look aggressive and distinct. I also appreciate your fervent love of that shade of orange, which I’ve seen on so many of your cars. Well done!

Thank you.
And holy shit, you are right. I scrolled up and every single GT spec Baltazar I released has been in that colour. I swear it wasn’t intentional, just a happy coincidence. I shall take it as a special trim colour from now on 
Also, great seeing you back

Are there any diffrences between the 2018 quark and 2019?
None other than the introduction of the GT trim level to top the range.
The 2019 Baltazar Planck
1.0T Tellurium in Lime Lollipop
Baltazar is proud to present the smallest car of the range, named after the smallest size conceivable within the standard model of Physics, a unit of measure named in honour of the man who conceived this limit, Max Planck.
For 2018, the Baltazar Planck has received a facelift, with new head and tail lights and new bumpers outside, while the inside gets updated infotainment options, some new personalisation options and new seat upholstery, aimed towards giving a more upmarket feeling.
The engine range still consists in the 1.0 3-cylinder unit, in two states of tune, a 70 hp NA model and a 95 hp turbocharged one. Drive is sent to the front wheels through either a 5 speed manual gearbox or a 5 speed automated manual.
1.0 Nitrogen in Glacier White
Sales start immediately in Europe, with the Latin America model due for the São Paulo Motorshow in November. The chinese debut will take place in the Shanghai Autoshow, with sales starting in July.
Planck will be produced at the Baltazar factories in Budapest, Hungary; Sorocaba, Brazil; Samut Prakan, Thailand and Hangzhou, China

Overall design is a bit too simplistic for me. A good city car competitor though 
Sometimes less is more, and that is very much the case with cars that are meant to be simple and affordable. It’s all about getting a cohesive and smart look without over complicating and adding costs.

I like it. It is a bit simple, but most city cars are rather simple. They put the money where it matters most.

Here’s one more car straight from our archives, the
1991 Baltazar Zeppelin
Zeppelin 2.0S in Midnight Purple with Deep Black Roof
Introduced in the 1990 Paris Motorshow, the Baltazar Zeppelin was the brand’s attempt to rejuvenate its image, by introducing a sporty and lightweight sports car. Designed from scratch with a unique steel monocoque, the elegant and smooth bodywork was made from aluminium, enhancing the lightweight theme further.
As the flag-bearers of the small, lightweight sports car, assembly took place in the UK, within the terrain of the Baltazar-Bonham complex in , Worcestershire, in a small assembly line dedicated to this model.
Inside, it was a lesson in minimalism. The interior had creature comforts like a simple, 2-speaker, cassette radio, electric windows and power locks, but aircon was an optional extra. The seats were sportier than in your average Baltazar and finished in a mixture of cloth and velour. In order to keep costs down, however, a lot of the switchgear, instruments and some other trim pieces could be recognised from other models.
Zeppelin 2.0S in Midnight Purple with Deep Black Roof
The suspension was independent all-round, with double wishbones on all four corners. The engine was mounted in the middle, transversely, with the 5-speed gearbox next to it. This configuration allowed the use of some of the engines already found in the rest of the Baltazar range.
Chosen for the mission was a short-stroke version of the Baltazar Large Inline 4 engine, a proven and trusty engine, built in several iterations since 1977. The cast-iron, SOHC, 2-valve per cylinder base perhaps wasn’t the most cutting-edge in engine technologies, but it was heavily reworked by the engineers from Baltazar Racing to deliver two very different flavours.
Zeppelin 2.0S in Midnight Purple with Deep Black Roof
The entry level model, 2.0S, feature a naturally-aspirated version of this engine, designed to provide mid-range pull and good fuel economy, with features like an exclusive coating on the pistons to minimize friction. The resulting output was 140 hp @6,200 rpm and 172 Nm @4,500 rpm. That power was enough to bring the 976 kg car from 0-100 in 7.4s and onto a top speed of 211 km/h.
Despite those good numbers, especially for the era, many felt something was missing and some of the press urged Baltazar to make a faster model.
More to come…

Following up on last time
After the release of the Zeppelin 2.0 in late 1990, the next major european motorshow was Geneva 1991. And in the Baltazar stand, before the press-event, when all the cars were still covered, laid a shape that was obviously a Zeppelin, but a protuberance on the rear deck that resembled some kind of boot spoiler.
Obviously, that turned out to be the
1992 Baltazar Zeppelin Turbo
Zeppelin Turbo Sport in Performance orange
The car did what it said on the tin. It was a turbocharged version of the standard Zeppelin, with the same cast-iron 70s 2.0 inline 4, now with added boost. Enough boost to bring power up to 200 hp, in a car that weighed little over 1000 kg. That power was enough to bring the Zeppelin up to the pace of exotic sports cars, like the Porsche 911 or the Ferrari 348. Acceleration from 0-100 took only 5.6s, and the top speed was a massive 240 km/h;
Zeppelin Turbo Sport in Performance orange
In order to keep all that power in check, all turbos have a mechanical limited slip differential as standard and the suspension was recalibrated and stiffened. However buyers could choose between one of two specifications, L or Sport. L models were designed to retain ride comfort and give a more pliant ride, where as Sport was sharper and more focused.
Inside, there were differences between the two trim levels as well. Sport is more focused, with body-hugging, semi-bucket seats, trimmed in alcantara ,as was the dashboard, with air-con and radio as optional extras. Meanwhile, L models got leather trimmed electric seats, central locking and an electric antenna for the radio, which could be a 6-speaker Pioneer unit, with a 6-disk CD changer, if so specced.
