@Fayeding_Spray Don’t know how I didn’t see that before on the forums, it looks incredible!
@Dorifto_Dorito Definitley a competitor, especially in America.
@Awildgermanappears Now that I like as competition. Feels like we’re touching on the “sports sedan vs supercar” debate.
@phaleAh yes… I believe that’s the one? I’d be interested to see how mid-engined rivals would stack up, I did look at a few of the Ferraris that were around at the time as comparison for the car.
Also shout out to the [2011 Mist that competed in my CSR round]((TGRG Top Gear Role Game (Discontinued)) back in April!
Hmm. From me it would be Zavir Nova Volante, but I’d have to create it first. Which I might do soon, as I love creating 80s and 90s cars The more Erins I see the more I think that Erin and Zavir are perfect competitors - and that if I were to buy an Automation car other than one of mine, it would very probably be Erin Really, I love your cars.
Wow, this is great to finally get a good look at the first Scarlet! Loving the style it’s perfectly understated but at the same time classic and yet somehow captures a certain elegant British character in its design.
I wonder if the Maesima NRZ-986 (Only have revealed the racing version as of yet.) would of have actually competed with an entry level Scarlet as it does have superior sportiness although that is primarily due to its complete lack of amenities Sadly it didn’t find its way to the West until 1992 and I’m not sure the Mk1 Scarlet was still on sale then?
My only suggestion is to include a production period of this model I also wanted to ask what type of popup headlight would this have because I’m picturing a Lotus Esprit type quad circular style setup.
Now I wonder if we will see the mysterious Mk2 Scarlet in the future.
@Rk38 Thank you! I’m fairly confident that it would have competed with the S trim at least, though perhaps its realm is more in the low-to-mid range coupe market where the Nasaro is?
Mk 1 Scarlet was in production from 1986 to 1991. Mk 2 came straight after, 1991 to 1996. Then we get the Mk 3 which I need to re-post as that post was lost during the Great Forum Transfer (R.I.P.).
Pop-up headlight wise, it would indeed have been quad circles, to tie it in with the Merna, Visto and Berlose at the time. Also because more lights = more better car right?
As for the Mk 2, yeah, we will at some point. Probably soon. I dunno
It was very cheap in markets outside the West (although maybe some fringe areas like Scandinavia, Australia, NZ and possible the UK come to think of it but only extremely limited numbers which would have been more a compeditor to the Nasaro.)
Once it arrived proper it was given a mild facelift, new engine and loaded up as a premium car but by then it would be looking a bit long in the tooth and facing the brand new Scarlet!
Awesome, twin popup headlights definitely suit that design. Although you could also go the NSX style if you wanted rectangular but still circular style.
Well, now I’m really curious to see the Mk 2 Scarlet revealed!
I reckon that the Albury Crusader Mk1 could be a legitimate rival to the Scarlet Mk 1. It was introduced a full year before the original Scarlet came out, after all…
The more Erins I see the more I think that Erin and Zavir are perfect competitors - and that if I were to buy an Automation car other than one of mine, it would very probably be Erin

(although I should have made the less powerful 2.7 trim maybe)
