The LLA Conference
inside one of the conference rooms a stage not yet lit is surrounded by a crowd of petrolheads and journalists. On stage the silhouette of 3 cars can be clearly made out, a mid-sized coupe, a low slung sports car and a hatchback. Slowly a figure walks on stage - a spotlight flashes on reviling the identity of the figure - a grey haired male in his late fifties - Luke Prior Junior, the CEO of LLA and the Son of the firms founder.
Lights flicker on to reveal the 3 cars on stage, showing them in all their glory
The CEO gives the crowd some time to appreciate the cars before making his final speach

Welp. The cat is out of the box. Gotta do a real reveal now.
The Foreia is FAAL’s oldest nameplate, tracing all the way back to 1949 and solid axles ladder frames, and it has never stopped being on sale from then on. Since the 8th generation just so happens to go on sale on the 70th anniversary of the nameplate, the badging has been made to be reminiscent of the first model. Which is why “FAAL” is spelled on the front bumper in big, yet discreet lettering, and “Foreia” is spelled in spaced letters underlined by a single chrome line, just like on the 1949 models. Apart from those cues, the car is a beautiful piece of design, with flowing lines and a nice feeling interior with the latest embarked tech.
The 2019 Mk8 Foreia will be on display at the FAAL stand, in three different models. Two diesels, and one petrol powered unit.
-
The mid trim Thema, with the 2.2L inline 4 150hp turbodiesel 15TDE. Mated to a 6 speed manual, it gets 4.4L/100 (NEDC).
-
The luxury trim Iridium, with the 3.0L inline 5 200hp turbodiesel 20TDE. Boasting creme leather seats, dashboard with faux cedar wood inserts and the brand new FAALBond V4 with the 10 speaker Concert Hall upgrade from Hermann&Gordon. It’s also fitted with the new 8 speed automatic S-tronic gearbox, which includes TETRA All Wheel Drive.
-
The obligatory sporty-looking-but-not-sporty trim, TT-line. Featuring half bucket leather seats with body coloured inserts, 19 inch alloys, faux carbon fiber window trim and mirrors, and black roof. This one gets the 2.5L inline 5 250hp turbo petrol 25TFE, also with the 8 speed S-tronic and TETRA.
Also, two cars will be given to journalists to drive during press days. Both of which are petrol powered. If the display cars are what people want to buy, the Press cars are what FAAL wants people to buy.
- A Thunderstorm Grey 20TFE Iridium, 6 speed manual, FWD: FAAL Foreia VIII - Iridium 20TFE Press Car.car (66.5 KB)
- A Ruby Red 25TFE TT-Line, S-tronic 8, TETRA: FAAL Foreia VIII - TT Line 25TFE Press Car.car (72.7 KB)
The FAAL Coupe Mk. X (or just Mk. X for enthusiasts), is a sportscar that traces its roots all the way back to the seventies, where it was a cheap, 115hp RWD light car which eventually gave birth to the TETRA lineup that was going to be highly successful in both rallying and being FAAL’s testbed for new tech. It made a comeback in 2014, to tickle the whole sportscar market from the GT86 to the BMW M4, rejoicing FAAL enthusiasts who were missing a dedicated FAAL sports car ever since 1988.
It will be the first car to be given the “Mk8 Foreia” treatment to unify the brand’s visual identity. Front and rear fascia have been revised to meet the new visual standards and light signatures of the brand. Engines have been revised too: All three “normal” options gain from 5 to 10hp compared to outgoing models.
Two models will be on display at the FAAL Stand:
- A 20TFE base model, featuring an updated 1.5L turbo inline 3 with 205hp (+5), in Ginster Yellow optional paint.
- A 30TFE high end model, featuring an updated 2.5L turbo inline 5 with 310hp (+10. Also, same block as the Foreia 25TFE), in Tetra Blue paint, which is normally only available on special demand except on TT-I models.
And one press car will be available for journalists to try out during the press day:
- A 30TFE in the same configuration as the one on display, except in Pearl White: FAAL Coupe Mk. X - 30TFE Facelift Press Car.car (66.4 KB)
The rest of the FAAL display will be cars that are currently sold but with no significant updates:
-a 2019 Mesaia TT-Line 15TDE, Pepite Black
-a 2019 Mesaia TT-I with optional bucket seats, Tetra blue
-a 2019 Tasia Iridium, 11TFE, Pearl White
-a 2019 Tasia GTI, Tetra Blue
-a 2019 Stavros TT-Line 20TDE, Thunderstorm Grey
-a 2019 Dima X Thema in two tone paint, Ruby Red body and Pearl White roof
-two 2019 Dima Thema with the Color+ package which allows for body coloured seat inserts and dash inserts. One 11TFE Oak Green, one 9TFE Ginster Yellow.

Gabatron G4 Cross by Gabatron Sport
After the brand was absorbed by Montes, Gabatron brings the new sports version of the G4 Cross: the G4 Cross by Gabatron Sport.
The platform and the suspension scheme (McPherson on the front axle, and torsion beam bar on the rear axle) is the same found on the standard G4 Cross (in fact, it is the same as in the original version), but with the touch of Gabatron Sport, which has taken care of giving it a more sporting touch, to be as effective as possible, as far as possible.
In the mechanical section, the 1.6 MUE (also known as the Most Unreliable Engine in popular culture) has been changed, by the well-known 2.0 turbo SCHI from Montes, which delivers about 230hp, and is coupled to a closed-ratio manual gearbox with six speeds, together with a Torsen differential, to be able to digest that power to the front axle without any hiccups.
In the aesthetic section, the main changes focus on bumpers and side moldings with specific design, as well as details in carbon simile, a rear spoiler, and the absence of bars in the roof, as well as the quadruple exhaust outlet, the transparent taillights, and the exclusive Rouge Intense.
The orders are now open, as well as the test units. The first deliveries will be made at the beginning of November. The prices starts from $22.611.

Ceder Paris Motor Show 2018
2.5T Signature AWD in Pouring Umber pictured.
For it’s 4th generation we decided to take the basic principles of the Aspera, liftback design and long bonnet, and infuse it with the latest iteration of our design language to create a restrained yet evocative design incorporating seductive lines all around the car to create a classy and powerful appearance without traces of vulgarity.
This is our first model to include Phase II of our Opensky Engine range including our newest 2.0 and 2.5 litre engines featuring modular architecture and Variable Valve Timing on all cams as well as our updated V-AIL system. The 2.0 litre I4 is available in one state of tune producing 200HP and 253NM of torque, unlike the 2.0 litre engine the 2.5 litre has 5 cylinders inline thanks to the modular design of the engine series and is also available in two states of tune. The lesser powerful version produces 262HP and 320NM of torque whereas the top of the range variant produces a total of 300HP and 367NM of torque, making it the most powerful Aspera to date outclassing previous 3.5 litre V6s and giving it enough power to keep up with competition from the Germans and English.
These Phase II updates are coming to all Ceder vehicles in 2019 and provide increased fuel economy, efficiency, throttle response and power over the original.
The chassis of the Aspera has been designed using the same technology as that of the MKVI Friala utilizing lightweight AHS steel and incorporating a similar Macpherson Strut/Transverse engine layout as the Friala, but instead using a Multilink rear suspension design opposed to Double Wishbone.
Like the Friala the Aspera makes use of various aluminium panels in the body to aid both fuel economy and speed.
For the first time in an Aspera model AWD is available in the standard liftback model, aiding in off the line traction and high speed road holding, rather than just the estate models. A 6 speed dual-clutch transmission is also available in more expensive trims.
The interior in all trim models consists of 5 premium quality leather seats, advanced infotainement with voice activation and a high quality sound system. The Aspera also comes with a multitude of airbags and safety devices to keep you and your passengers safe.
Ceder would like to announce our new labels for trim variants : Sketch [Lowest Spec], Illustrate [Mid Spec],
