1969 Vermillion Arsene 413 GTS

The first generation of the Arsene debuted in 1965 and was one of the early muscle cars. It also introduced a new engine family - the Venture V8s, with up to 413 cubic inches of capacity.

Depicted above is its successor, the 1969 Mk2 Arsene, the first Vermillion to be sold with a 5 speed manual.
It also offered a wide variety of engine variants - it was sold with a modernised 259 Vermillion straight 6, modernised 276 RT V8 and the Venture 347 and 413 V8s. There probably were supercharged variants too, but this car will probably be revamped/retconed out of existence by the time the forced induction revamp comes.

The 413 variant developed 326 hp and 406 foot pounds of torque. This was enough to get the car up into 244 km/h (breaking the 150 mph barrier, if only slightly) and get it up to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds.
