You have an easy to understand structure, but some of it is confusing; why would anyone buy the Fun 8 when the Eco X 8 has better performance and fuel economy at a lower price?
Also what is the difference between Sport and Fun? I take it Eco is focused on economy, and sport is tuned for performance, so fun is perhaps a balance between comfort, economy and performance?
One would buy a Fun 8 over an Eco X 8 if they want the power and they occasionally go to a track or an airfield or some other place where they can do some drifts and so on.
Eco = economical setup. Sport = sporty setup. Fun = More sporty than Eco, but more economical than Sport (in short, a balance between the two). Also, comfort is almost the same for all models because interior and entertainment are equal for all trims.
Hhmm, I see. But in this case, more power doesn’t mean more acceleration.
What would the prices be US$? Eg $ to € exchange using current rates or straight $ to € etc?
I think in USD they would all be 5k more, because $ are worth less than € and we’d have to ship the cars over. So the prices would be 40.000$-57.500$
Here’s another car you guys might enjoy. It’s a muscle car from AMW and it’s called the Vulture.
[size=50](admittedly the white parts of the taillights are edited)[/size]
With RWD, an 8-speed double-clutch gearbox with automatic mode (which is similar enough to the 8-speed automatics with paddle shifters that you find in the Challenger/Charger) and a 6.0L 40V V8 producing 480hp, this car is somewhere between a Camaro SS and a Camaro ZL1.
Only in terms of power, though, because the top speed is 330km/h (205mph)! 0-100km/h is done in 4.5 seconds and the fuel economy is completely irrelevant, as you might expect. With 5 seats, standard interior and infotainment, this car is not luxurious but will satisfy your everyday needs quite nicely, even if you decide to raise a family. And to make sure everyone’s safe, we put our advanced safety systems into the car, just like you get in other AMW cars.
The last big question you might have, is certainly the price. It’s 45.000€ in Austria and 50.000$ in the US (because we need to ship the cars over). That should put it to around the same price level as a Challenger RT 392, as well as between the Camaro SS and Camaro ZL1.
There are currently 9 colours available, displayed in the following order:
classic black, tropic orange, chartreuse, Mantis green (yes, that car has its own colour name), midnight blue, glacial white, flaming red, alpine silver, royal blue

Greets,

I’ll play 50.000 $. Ship me one to Airborne Automotive headquarters in Kraków, Poland
Great muscle car! My one is quite based on the Mustang…
Honestly for that much car, a combined fuel economy of 11.5L/100km isn’t all that bad. Certainly better than what the pony cars would be getting, still…
How fast can the Vulture go around the automation test track?
1:24.73 but it’s more of a cruiser than a track-focused sports car.
Could I order one in mantis green? 
For all those of you who remember the Tiger: it’s back!
It’s a luxury saloon/estate that competes with cars like the Audi A6, the BMW 5 series and the Mercedes E-Class. And yes, this means there are some “normal” variants of it now, because what you used to know is now called the Tiger HP. All trims are made from aluminium for both the chassis and the panels. So here’s the standard Tiger (the colour is called Glacial White;):
Powered by 6 different engines from 2 blocks (a 2.5L turbo I4 and a 3.5L turbo I6), power output ranges from 210-400hp. The nomenclature is Capacity - Engine theme (eco/fun/sport) - body variant (saloon/estate), so it goes from the Tiger 2.5 Eco Saloon/Estate to the Tiger 3.5 Sport Saloon/Estate
Here are the most important stats, and since they’re basically identical between saloon and estate versions for the most part, I’ll give you the stats for the saloons.
2.5 eco — 210hp, 0-100km/h in 7.3 seconds, 8.4l/100km, 47.500€
2.5 fun — 250hp, 0-100km/h in 6.3 seconds, 8.7l/100km, 48.500€
2.5 sport - 285hp, 0-100km/h in 5.8 seconds, 8.9l/100km, 49.500€
3.5 eco — 305hp, 0-100km/h in 5.6 seconds, 8.5l/100km, 52.500€
3.5 fun — 350hp, 0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds, 9.2l/100km, 53.500€
3.5 sport - 400hp, 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds, 9.5l/100km, 54.500€
All of these versions have the same alu chassis and panels, the same brake system with Vented discs all around, 6 pistons with 325mm rotors front and 4 pistons with 290mm rotors rear. Also, all of them come on sports tires because sports tires are just the stickiest, allowing for best possible grip.
On top of that, all of them have the same 8-speed double-clutch gearbox with automatic mode and they’re all limited to 250km/h, except for the 3.5 sport which is limited to 275km/h.
As far as suspension goes, all of them have Double wishbones up front and Multilink suspension rear, with Active springs, semi active dampers and passive sway bars, only that for the Eco and Fun versions, the springs are active comfort, for the Sport models (and the HP) they’re active sport.
Since this is a luxury car, it is equipped with luxury interior and infotainment, as well as advanced safety and all driver aids except launch control. It doesn’t need launch control because it has an electric LSD as standard.
With all this being said, you might be saying “Woah, that’s quite advanced/expensive for standard equipment, isn’t it?”, and you wouldn’t be wrong. But remember that in the Austrian Motoring Wonderland, there’s no options list. Everything is included in the price already.
That means that the price differences between the versions are very small, as you can see on the list above.Of course, the gap between the 2.5 sport and the 3.5 eco is bigger because of the different engine block used.
The Tiger is available in the following colours: Glacial White, Tropic Orange, Classic Black, Alpine Silver, Midnight Blue and Flaming Red.

The same colours are available for the Tiger HP which, in Glacial White, looks like this:
We’ve all become used to this car featuring a turbocharged 4.8L Inline 6 engine. And that hasn’t changed. What has been changed, however, is that it now produces 600hp, allowing this 2ton luxury vehicle to go from 0-100km/h in 4.0(saloon)/3.9(estate) seconds with launch control. The estate is a little bit faster off the line due to slightly better weight distribution.
100km/h, however, is by far not the end of the line as you can imagine. The top speed is 325km/h for both the saloon and the estate, making this car faster than even a de-limited BMW M5 (which would run 315km/h).
They’ll also do the standing Quarter Mile in 11.7 seconds and the Airfield track in just over 1:24.
This puts it right up there with the M5 and its competitors and the economy, realistically speaking isn’t that far off either.
The price is lower than you would expect, though. The Tiger HP will cost you 95.000€ which is quite a lot less than its german rivals. Is that a sign for it being worse? Certainly not. Think about it.
Greets,
Tom
I notice that I haven’t been posting anything new here for almost 3 months. That is because I have had more real life things to do than ever, searching for a new job, then practicing that job on top of applying for my study that started this week, doing my Youtube schedule and also moving away from my parents’ home. And of course, other, smaller things. I can’t guarantee that I’ll update this thread more frequently, but have this in the mean time

Dayum, finally Airborne Haiyan has proper competitor in it’s niche despite that your car is I4 and mine is V8.
Hi, I’d love to be able to see your cars but it would seem you’re hosting them on tinypic… maybe try using Imgur?
Why would I use imgur when tinypic is working totally fine?

Please don’t quote pictures in the future. It’s annoying having to have to look at the same picture multiple times. Thanks for the feedback though!

I didn’t know that tinypic is banned in some countries. And I find that kind of ridiculous.
Yep, blame this ridiculous government. You wouldn’t believe the kinds of things that get banned here.
While I do find the Python interesting, I am quite curious… Why use a 4-Cylinder in a car with a 6-figure pricetag? “Budget” is out of the question with a price like that, and you could much more easily get the same level of power, and more reliability most likely, by using a V6 or V8! Is it merely out of preference? Or for the bragging rights of saying “We have a 510 horsepower Straight-4”?
That being said, it hauls some serious A--
