This is right up my alley, great challenge!
Well here’s my entry. Not too high of a score, but good scores on most markets, so should start filing the table.
The Orchid Lilium is a premium sedan, and on the 8.32 version, it is sporting the engine of the MV Design TG2, originally a flat plate twin turbo screaming V8, on this version it’s a cross plane naturally aspirated, quiet and confortable powerplant.
Quasar Valkyrie (V50) - 3.0VSi Sport.car (25.2 KB)
The performance model of the V50 chassis Valkyrie debuted a year after its family-oriented counterparts, boasting Quasar’s very first engine with variable valve timing, the KA-N30-VHR. A 3.0-liter, aluminum block and head, 24-valve, naturally aspirated straight six, the KA-N30-VHR produced 255 horsepower and had a redline of 8000 rpm, but was remarkably tractable and well-behaved in city driving and could boast impressive fuel economy in the large RWD Valkyrie on the highway, sometimes exceeding 30 miles per gallon (naturally, fuel economy plummets in hard driving that engages the “hot” cam profile). The sport Valkyries could be readily distinguished from the more sedate models with their highly aggressive–and functional–aerodynamics, high-mounted driving lights, and asymmetrical “binge and purge” hood with a cold air intake above the intake side of the engine and vent louvers on the exhaust side.
Performance was highly impressive, with zero to 60 coming in only 5.8 seconds and agile handling that belied the Valkyrie’s size–it was similar in size and weight to the contemporary Holden Commodore, and much larger than competing models from Europe and Japan. The Sport was initially available only as a liftback coupe, but a sedan model was added for model year 1995. The V55 refresh in 1996 brought a new fascia with fixed headlights, enhanced safety, amenities, and a re-tuned suspension. The engine was now designated KA-N30-VHR-GEN3, boasting 305 horsepower @ 8300 rpm with a redline of 9000. As the new V8-powered QRP 4500RS now sat atop the Valkyrie range, the Sport now featured much more conservative styling and interior appointments. While performance numbers went up, fuel economy and reliability suffered while the price rose dramatically, the car felt softer and heavier to drivers, and the 3.0VSi Sport was discontinued for 1999, with the next Valkyrie 4.5Si Sport coming in 2002 on the new V60 chassis, this time using a less aggressively tuned version of the 32-valve flat-plane V8 from the previous generation 4500RS.
