Spectre Machines was founded in 1946 with the goal of providing Gasmea residents with a quality, reliable automobile built in their home country. Their first model, the Spectre 100 was an instant success due to it’s cheap construction. The 1946 Spectre Shadow also became a beloved car among racing enthusiasts. In the late 1950’s Spectre broke ground when they developed the 200 E92, the first automible to break 20 MPG average in Gasmea. The 1960’s brought an exciting time for Spectre. In spring of 1960, PXR, Phantom Experiments and Racing, a performance division for Spectre opened. Just two years later, they’d enter the 300PXR in several rally races. The 214hp 6-cylinder Boxer would not perform well, but it would lead to a rebirth of Spectre’s sales and the call for Spectre Machines outside of Gasmea. The idea that a small company could put up a fight with well established companies sparked interest and sales. The 300 sold well in all variants, but most notably the E92, a carry over engine from the 50’s models. The Shadow received a redesign and a second iteration of a 6-cyl boxer. The boxer configuration would not see the inside of another Spectre Machines production model until the 1980’s, only being reserved for the Shadow model. PXR continued to develop high-performance racing engines and street tuned muscle cars. The 1970’s proved a tough time as gas prices skyrocketed. Spectre quickly abandoned their much beloved muscle car line for the more fuel efficient 100 series. The Shadow would continue on, but with poor gas mileage and a struggling economy, the sales slumped heavily. PXR began to focus less on racing and more on economic engines. This became key in cementing Spectre’s legacy when they built a 55 MPG average engine in 1980. 1982 revived the PXR division from the brink of shutting down when Group B was introduced. Spectre Machines was convinced to allow PXR to develop a racing engine on their 500 AWD model to compete. To say they were successful is an understatement. The 500 PXR rally car went on to dominate 1982, 1983 and 1984 seasons. Spectre pulled out of the 1985 season when their racing driver Launo Essi died in a horrendous accident. The car split in half down the middle allowing his co-driver to survive, but with serious, life-altering injuries. PXR would continue in other racing divisions, but the accident left a sour feeling among the company, so PXR would never receive the same funding again. Spectre enjoyed continued success in the late-80’s and 90’s in both sales and racing. In the early 2000’s, Spectre Machines officially closed their PXR division and pulled from all racing. This would deal a serious blow to the brand as sales figures began to quickly slump. By the time the global 2009 recession hit, Spectre was hemorrhaging money despite quality designs. There was nothing to make them stand from the crowds. They closed door in December of 2009 and the last 700 Spectre 700s to roll off the line were commemorated with a Special Phantom Blue color and the last PXR street engine designed. Most of which remained unsold until 2012. Around that time, Spectre became a cult following around the world. Demand began to increase and with some well timed donations, Spectre opened a new assembly line in 2018. Fittingly, the first model to be produced was the 2019 Shadow, a rework of the 2010 concept. The 100 series returned with the 2019 800 and sported their most fuel efficient engine yet, the E-PXR. They also released a limited edition 800PXR, designed by their new performance division, Spectre Unlimited. Most of their vehicles were sold before rolling off the line and Spectre has recently had trouble filling orders.
