[2004 Geneva Motor Show]
##American Eagle Automotive
…is proud to announce their new Muscle Car that’s stated to start production for the 2006 year!
#The [2006] Shark GT
AEA has been working hard to bring the newest muscle car to the field with their Shark. It is poised to be sold Internationally, and because of that, AEA has been working hard to bring you:
###A World Class Muscle Car
With it’s distinctive American looks, and high-tech engineering, the Shark is poised to take the front stage in the international spot light. Built on an AHS Steel Unibody chassis, the Shark holds a simple, but rugged McPherson Strut front end suspension with an all-new for AEA Semi-Trailing Arm rear end suspension.
That’s right! They have officially ditched the solid axle rear end designs they’ve built for the last 50+ years!
These cars will be powered by the brand new Nevada SOHC 3v V8 engine series! With a rumored 300+ hp output, these engines will replace the old V8s American Eagle Automotive has relied on for so many years. Not only that, but there is a planned GTX trim that will get a first-of-its-kind for AEA V12 engine!
You heard that right, a V12 engine produced by American Eagle Automotive!
They’re calling it the T62 - SOHC 3v V12 engine family. While they don’t have one to display today, they are showing off some selective photos on the big screen. They say the GTX trim will be primarily focused on High Performance Grand Touring and Prestige.
The GT trim is slated to be priced around $24,700 AMU, and boy does it come equipped for the price! With a sequential gearbox and viscus lsd, this car will feel fast! Running on 245mm tires front and back on 19" rims with an active suspension it will corner like a slot car! And to stop the beast, it will come standard with big, vented disk brakes!
American Eagle Automotive even has a fully clad under tray with active cooling flaps to keep the aerodynamics up to par! No exact figures have been shown, but the word is this helps the car achieve a combined 20mpg (us)!* And you can do that in comfort, as this car comes standard with premium leather seats for 4, and a premium SatNav system with all the driver assists you expect in new cars!
Representative: “The Shark GT will be able to achieve a 0-62mph time in less than 6 seconds, and the quarter mile in less than 14 seconds…”
*[Note: this body seems to be less aerodynamic than it should be, maybe the mod author has set the drag coef. too high? or something?]
