Arion Celeste Drophead 650TI
Dashing performance meets an epitome of luxury.
–
The Arion Celeste as it’s self is regarded as one of the most luxurious and expensive F-Segment cars on the market; offered as either a 4 door saloon, 2 door coupe, or 2 door “Drophead” convertible.
However, in late 2020 the limited edition “650TI” package was revealed on both coupe versions. This pack includes; a performance focused 5.2 Litre V10 Twin Turbo producing 654hp/492lb-ft, electromagnetic suspension tuned for road and race use at the turn of a dial from the various drive modes, paired to top-grade sports tyres.

wow, 55 entries?! Well, there’s at least like a 1.8% chance that I win xD though seeing some of these designs, may as well be 0% 
Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I normally work with a fantastic exterior designer, but they were busy this time. Tried to make an attractive car myself. Ended up naming the car Moray for a reason.
Turból Verux V12
A naturally aspirated, V12 swan song. An all-aluminum body beautifully sculpted by EFI. A handcrafted interior with diamond quilt-stitched leather and custom embroidery for a most exclusive and satisfying atmosphere. A 7 speed DCT with Turból 4xAll and a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds. Active aero and continuously variable air suspension for a no-compromise blend of ride and handling.
An emotional expression of passion for the automobile.
A collaboration between @Lazar and @donutsnail
Inspired by the GT circuit and into the hands of the most discerning drivers the 2020 Moray features a luxurious interior with full head up display, supple seating, and a high fidelity stereo. Underneath all of the posh, and luxury the Moray retains the 7.3L V8 from the Touring circuit. Pushing from 0-60 in under 5 seconds, and turning a remarkable 2:08.08s.

(Sorry for the long ad, my HTML “hide” button does not work for some reason.
CSR 139- Phase 1- Instabins
Solariego Linea F- @Elenir1
David saw the Linea pop up while he was browsing Driver and Car, intrigued, he clicked on it for more information, only to learn that it was outside of his budget.
(Reason for bin- $4,000 over maximum budget.)
C2- @DuceTheTruth100
Looking at reviews of the C2 on AutomotiveWorld revealed that it’s engine was outdated, and had trouble keeping up with the competition. After seeing that, David moved on.
(Reason for bin- engine variant year was 2012, not 2020.)
Alba Fierroso GT50- @TheLapTopX20
Intrigued by it’s design, David looked into doing more research. However, no information was available on the powertrain, and what was available was inconsistent.
(Reason for bin- failed to follow the engine naming scheme, and engine variant year was set to 2019.)
Grumm Alpha V- @Speeeed_D3m0n
Seeing a picture of the Alpha V in an article, David decided to do some research on it, though nothing was available. Disheartened, he closed his computer.
(Reason for bin- failed to follow the naming scheme, and the negative quality all over the engine.)
Rigore Apophis Exclusive- @titleguy1
Reading another article, David found the handsome Apophis. Upon doing some further research, it also had a slightly out of date engine.
(Reason for bin- engine variant year was set to 2017, not 2020.)
CSR 139- Phase 2, Part 1- Eliminations
FM BT2020- @Jaimz68
Coming up first on David’s search, he was intrigued by the BT2020’s performance, upon a closer look, was turned off by the design.
(Eliminated for design, the whole thing felt very slapped together without reason.)
Kerberos Gryfon SCW- @nightwave
Next up on David’s search was the Gryfon SCW. Upon doing some research, David found some issues with the engine, and found the design to be more muscle car-like, rather than reminiscent of GT car.
(Eliminated for having a cast crankshaft when it did you no favors, and a design that isn’t very GT-like.)
Phoenix Goodwood GT- @the-chowi
Next on David’s list was the Goodwood GT, a stylish looking GT he liked. However, upon doing more research, he found that the turbocharged engine couldn’t maintain it’s power well, awkward driving dynamics, and brakes that like to fade during spirited driving.
(Reason for elimination- a turbo that doesn’t maintain it’s spool, with long gearing that keep it out of it’s optimal power, and a relatively high amount of sportiness brake fade.)
Vermillion GT-1- @BannedByAndroid
Next on David’s list was the Vermillion GT-1. The bright color caught his eye, but upon further research, he found that it had a very laggy turbocharger, and a hard suspension tune that lends itself more to a harder core sports car.
(Reason for elimination- a really laggy turbo tune and too stiff of a suspension setup. With some refinement, it could be a decent sports car, but a GT car it is not.)
Ecyor Sllor-Rosanda 6000- @MrdjaNikolen
Next was the Sllor-Rosanda. David was immediately displeased with the design, and found that the engineering wasn’t much better either, with a limited engine that’s hampered by bad gearing, and weak brakes.
(Reason for elimination- all cast internals in the engine which limits it’s performance, an awkward design, and it’s further cemented with an odd gearing setup and underpowered brakes.)
Zephorus LFX- @Riley
Next on David’s list was the handsome looking LFX, which looked promising. However upon doing some research, David found that the engine’s internals were made of substandard materials, and had an outdated gearbox.
(Reason for elimination- Putting negative quality on the engine internals to stay under ET was very minmax-y, and the 6-speed DCT is a bit of a strange choice here.)
Corydon Motors Laurelton- @rbiemer
Next up on David’s list was the Laurelton, a retro-inspired GT. While not the biggest fan of the design, he gave it a pass. Upon doing more research, David found that the Laurelton had a strange tire setup causing terminal oversteer, and a laggy engine to boot.
(Reason for elimination- The front staggered tires did strange things to your handling, causing terminal oversteer, and the engine had a rather late spool to boot.)
Steurmann C45 GT- @HybridTronny/@Maverick74
Next up was the C45 GT. David, while he liked the design, didn’t feel that it was very premium. Upon further research found that the engine had a laggy pair of turbochargers, a restrictive exhaust, and slightly soft suspension.
(Reason for elimination- design didn’t feel very high end with the large plasticky grille, the turbo spooled rather late, and the suspension tune was a tad soft.)
AMW Condor GT- @TheTom
Next up is the Condor. David isn’t a fan of it’s slightly dated design, and upon more research finds that the rather large flat-6 turbo with a fair bit of lag, quite high service costs, and an odd suspension tune.
(Reason for elimination- design isn’t very 2020s, with it feeling more boy-racery, and a needlessly large flat-6 turbo that’s rather laggy, and a softer suspension tune that hampers it’s sportiness.)
KPS K10 V8- @abg7
Next up on David’s list is the KPS K10. David notes that the design is good, but the lower and wide front valiance looks a bit strange, as well as it feeling very flat… Looking into the K10 some more, David finds that it has an exceptionally laggy turbocharged V8, that hampers it’s comfort and drivability.
(Reason for elimination- the turbo is very much just slapped on to your engine, with really minimal tuning that does little to mitigate lag. The design also left something to be desired, as it feels a bit flat and clinical.)
Meridian Spirit- @Serperior98
Next on David’s list is the Meridian Spirit. David likes the design, though after looking into it some, he finds that the tires are a bit too narrow for the car, and it’s brakes are underpowered, giving it a really long stopping distance.
(Reason for elimination- you have really narrow tires (that also end in 0, something that doesn’t happen IRL) that mess with your suspension tuning, and you have small brakes that have a tough time stopping your car.)
F&S GT6- @Tez
Next up is the F&S GT6, another car that David feels is a bit outdated in terms of design. After doing some research on the GT6, he also finds that the engine, another large flat-6. has a propensity to knock while using high-grade fuel.
(Reason for elimination- the engine was knocking, and the design didn’t feel like it was from 2020 either.)
Tiffosi Kyasin Lusso-8- @fasmukji
Next up on David’s list was the Kyasin Lusso-8, yet another car he feels is let down by the design. Upon doing more research, he can’t find anything really wrong it, except that the brakes are a bit strong. Unfortunately, David just doesn’t feel the same way about the design.
(Reason for elimination- design was very slapped together, and as good as the engineering was, it wasn’t enough to save it.)
SC Terminus GTC- @Icebear787
Next was the Terminus GTC, which drew David’s eye almost immediately, with it’s stunning yellow paint and classic GT appearance. However; not all is okay with the Terminus. It has an engine that can’t hold together well, extremely high service costs, and abysmal fuel efficiency.
(Reason for elimination- engine that frags itself above 7500rpm, service costs above 6k, and a whopping 6.2 MPG. Design is good, engineering is not.)
Omanko V8 Siluriformes- @Be_gone_thot
Last car on David’s list for tonight is the Omanko, an aggressive and wide GT with a handsome design David likes. Upon closer examination however, it comes apart a bit. According to the review he’s glancing at, the engine itself has a very peaky turbo with inconsistent torque, and tires that are too narrow for the car. It also has long gearing and a viscous differential, which doesn’t make a ton of sense here.
(Reason for elimination- oddly tuned turbo, tires that are too narrow (and that also end in zero), plus a viscous differential, which doesn’t suit the car.)
First time not getting instabinned less goo
Actually I think I was a tier 4 bin
Still though
hell ye, im in the same boat!
Are we still allowed to post smaller adverts or propaganda just for fun? I want to post a photoshop of my car because I didn’t have enough time to do so before submissions.
- Whoever here has photoshop the new sky replacement feature is amazing you should definitely try it out.
I would prefer that you not, keeps the thread from getting too clogged up.
