In 2010 in a 3 way joint venture between Bogliq, RPG and DSD the Griffin was created.
DSD would now produce the DSD6 in the Bogliq factories tuned by Bogliq’s best and brightest engineers.
Rpg provided the new/old small block OHV v8 which DSD then modified to suit the Griffin.
The Griffin was made from lightweight albeit very cheap materials to keep weight down.
The body is a Mono body AHS chassis shell with Partial aluminum body panels.
Double wishbone Suspension is used on all four corners.
The car is designed as a higher end Family saloon so there is alot of chrome with the lower grill inspired by looking at an aircraft front on. The rear of the car is heavily inspired by the luxo barges of the 50’s and the exhaust is again designed to look like it belongs to a small aircraft. All Griffin models were available worldwide.
The entry model is the Griffin 8 which uses the RPG/DSD twin turbo 5.4L Windsor v8.
This particular engine is an all cast affair using a compound twin turbo arrangement and DI. power is capped at 300Hp while the flat torque curve at its peak produces 519Nm.
Putting this power to the ground is the German ZF 6sp automatic gearbox and a new in house designed Viscous LSD rear differential.
Wheels are standard 18" Alloys with 235 wide Hard tyres.
Standard brakes are 350mm 2 piston vented front discs with 300mm single piston vented rears.
As with all DSD products more than half of the build time with this car was getting the Aero just right in the wind tunnel with fully clad underbody and active cooling.
A standard 5 seat Red deer leather interior is fitted with DSD’s standard Focal 6.1 sound system.
We have used hydro suspension for some time in our race cars and it has now made it’s way into our road vehicles with twin tube dampers and passive swaybars.
Final on road cost is $30499.
Next in the lineup is the Griffin DL6 model.
This model contains the new DSD6 by Bogliq code named LRX42E.
A 4.2L DOHC 2 valve behemoth, the high compression engine produces 312HP at 6600RPM.
Behind this engine is an all new 5sp Sequential auto gearbox and our new Viscous LSD differential. The wheels are designed and produced by Bogliq and are 20" Alloy’s with 245/235 Medium tyres. The brakes remain the same as the entry 8 model, while slightly better rear wing geometry provides even smoother body CD numbers.
Inside we find a 5 seat Luxury interior using Santa Gertrudis Steer leather raised on Darkshines Deer Station in SE QLD Australia. A high end Sat nav is added to the Focal stereo system.
The first ever DSD vehicle to use air ride suspension which can be set to automatic or can be height regulated manually.
Retailing for $38999.
The next model is the Griffin DR8.
Where the DL6 is designed as a luxury vehicle the DR8 is plain and simple a Brute.
In 2010 DSD retooled a new version of the DSD8 the DR8 DI.
In a world where engines are getting smaller and smaller DSD has gone against the grain proving that they CAN get better fuel economy and emissions from using larger bores.
There’s no VVL/VVT magic here no 4 valve DOHC just good tuning choices and SOHC with 2 valves. The engine displaces 8.1L or 497ci while retaining a fuel efficiency of over 25%.
All this adds up to 501Hp/718Nm!
Only a manual gearbox was ever going to be used and the tremec t56 was chosen with a modified Ford 9 inch Geared LSD. 19" Magnesium wheels are shod in Soft sports 245/255 tyres. The brakes remain the same 350/300 combo however special brake pads more suited to high performance are used and as always the wind tunnel was the most important tool we used. A 4 seat sport interior is matched to the sat nav from the DL6. And our race tuned Hydro suspension is used.
Retailing for $37999
The final model was introduced in 2011 and is actually produced by DSD for Bogliq motors.
The Griffin by Leeroy (or Bogliq GL).
This is a executive estate with 5 doors.
Powered by a Leeroy version of the DSD6 this is no soccer mum wagon!
The engine displaces 3.6L code named LRX36AET however using smart turbocharger technology produces a whopping 542Hp/527Nm torque.
Behind the engine is a ZF 6sp auto gearbox and viscous LSD combo.
20" Magnesium wheels with Soft 255 tyres rotate the earth on its axis, While a set of 6 piston 355mm/ 1 piston 355mm vented disc brakes are used along side the DSD hydro suspension.
Bogliq profited by DSD’s wind tunnel and a +10 Aero package is standard.
A premium Bogliq 5 seat interior is used alongside a Bogliq Premium Dvd sound system.
All this for $37999
