The Iridium looks smaller than the Oxygen, and it definitely is - its wheelbase is shorter (or at least it seems). I think they both use the same FWD platform.

Edit: Wrong again. However, the fact that they share the same wheelbase and have different platforms reminds me of Kia having two mid-sized cars in its lineup - the FWD Optima and the RWD Stinger.

The Iridium’s wheelbase is the same as the Oxygen but the Iridium’s a RWD car because of the 3.4L inline 6. If it was transverse, the inline 6 wouldn’t be able to fit.

Two older cars.

Your facelift for the Oxygen is most welcome. It’s subtle, but with a more aggressive front fascia, it definitely has more presence now.

Bayonne Automobiles

Undoubtedly French.

Bayonne Automobiles is a French brand founded in 1948 as a community project by Bayonne, France’s inhabitants and mayor. Their first car was called the Bayonne Modèle Un, an economy subcompact sedan powered by the same Japanese engine as the Hartwich W1-series, the Reizei 1. The Modèle Un was very popular in France and was exported mostly to other european countries. The Modèle Un was produced from 1948 to 1970 before being replaced by the first generation Bayonne Pluto. The Modèle Un spawned an entire series of “Modèle” cars like the 1952 Modèle Deux, a compact sedan, the 1954 Modèle Trois, a large family sedan and the 1956 Modèle Quatre, a utility van. All of these were eventually replaced by the 1972 Bayonne Venus, the 1974 Bayonne Uranus and the 1976 Bayonne Jupiter respectively. The Modèle Un was eventually brought back as a retro-inspired limited production economical subcompact hatchback in 2018, celebrating the 80 years of the Modèle Un. Although there were a few additions to it, the Bayonne Automobiles lineup stayed the same for almost 45 years. Bayonne Automobiles was bought by Hartmann AG in 1999. Today, Bayonne Automobiles is one of the most known French brands worldwide and one of the symbols of the city of Bayonne next to Bayonne ham. In 2018, Bayonne Automobiles started exporting their cars to the United States, signifying that they are indeed a worldwide brand.

2021 Bayonne Neptune

Excellence has no limits.

Revealed at an online conference on the 2nd of June 2020, the 2021 Neptune is one of the best generations of the Neptune that had started in 1989.

Elegant and aggressive design is the key.

FRONT END
The unique design of the headlights contrasted with the simple grille make for a perfect mix of complex but similar design.

BACK END
The heckblende taillight and the racing inspired bumper are made to impress and surprise anyone that comes across it.

SIDE PROFILE
The flowing rear window, the black trim and the french flag all work together to make this harmonious design.

Excellence Fastback BR-Line shown in Neptune Blue.

Meticulously crafted inside and out.

THE ENGINE
Reizei Heavy Industries crafted the IM-series V6 to make it silent and powerful at the same time. It has a power output of 240 horsepower.

THE TRANSMISSION
The 8-speed Automatic is made to be smooth and useable for everybody that uses it.

THE INTERIOR
Our engineers meticulously crafted the interior to be as comfortable and practical as possible. Made out of French leather, the seats can accompany anyone and make their experience better. The 12.3" digital dash supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto but is also easy to use without those two.

The 2007 Reizei Oxygen was the 9th generation in the Oxygen line. Being revealed on December 16th of 2006 on Reizei’s official website and being released the 2nd of January 2007, the 2007 Oxygen was powered by a 2.0 naturally aspirated inline 4 making 155 horsepower.

Facelift

The 2012 facelift of the Oxygen featured a better quality interior, better safety, one more horsepower and blah blah blah who cares it just looks better.

Easily one of the better uses I’ve seen of one of the new bodies introduced in the LCV4 open beta. As with its successor, it benefited greatly from its mid-life facelift - not just to keep it looking fresh on the outside, but also better-equipped on the inside.

1948 Bayonne Modèle Un

This is the car that was the result of 5 years of work between the mayor and the citizens of Bayonne. And to say this car was a success would be an understatement. Almost everyone in the city had one and they were exported to most European countries. This car was powered by the “Reizei 1” 27 horsepower 0.8 litre OHV inline 3 going through a 3-speed manual gearbox. This makes the Modèle Un go from 0-100 in 33.2 seconds and it achieves a top speed of 119 km/h. The car was also very light, weighing only 660 kilograms.


2018 Bayonne "Modèle Un" Hommage

After 70 years, Bayonne Automobiles released the 2018 hommage of the Modèle Un that was first teased in 1998 with the Modèle Un concept car. This retro-inspired hatchback features the Reizei 1 NewGen, a modern reimagining of the original engine. This 0.8 litre turbocharged DOHC inline 3 has 72 horsepower. This propulses the hatchback from 0-100 in 16.3 seconds and gives it a top speed of 168 km/h. The Modèle Un was really light and for a modern car, the Hommage is also pretty light, weighing 1392 kilograms. When this car released, the public went crazy, calling it a “revival of the company” but this is a limited-production build so the price isn’t accessible for everyone. Bayonne Automobiles also expressed an interest in reviving the rest of the Modèle line in the following years.

also can I just say that the overpass photo scene is just an amazing addition

SAZ S1

Coupé Trim

This AWD russian sports coupe was first showcased at IAA 2019 and released on February 2nd, 2021. The SAZ S1 is powered by the SAZ S-series NA 1.8 inline 4 making 139 horsepower. This power is going through a 6-speed manual. This launches the S1 to 100 km/h in 8.82 seconds and gives it a top speed of 222 km/h. The car is also light, weighing 1375 kilograms.

Cross Trim

What have I done… This is a crossover coupé, in the literal term. The cross trim has exactly the same specifications as the regular version but it offroads significantly better. This is the version that you’d actually take on Russian roads.

A small update on the car situation.

I know I have not posted anything in a while but I’ll be posting on this thread again. My computer recently broke down and my only means of designing is my mother’s laptop. I have designed some cars using that laptop though, so here they are. I’ll be writing lore on them in the coming weeks as the parts of my new computer arrived.

5 valves per cylinder is just plain weird for a car launched in the 2010s - why not just use four-valve heads instead, as is the norm today? The article below has a section about 5-valve heads, as well as how, when and why they fell out of favor in passenger cars:

https://www.autozine.org/technical_school/engine/Multivalve.html

Otherwise, it’s a tempting choice in the sports coupe segment - it looks as fast as it goes, and deserves to be as coveted as its namesake.
