Otherwise, incredible work as always here Corsica! Presentation is top-notch as expected from you, and the Cheetah itself is an extremely handsome vehicle.
As they say...

Even with the standard (atmo) straight-five, the current Cheetah is a potent performer, and as for the V8 version… It’s the ultimate reasonably priced antidote to downsized turbocharged banality. At any rate, both live up to their name by being as fast as they look - and they are surprisingly affordable for the amount of performance they offer.

I’m really loving this new wave of making presentations and showcases look like you’re actually on a car website, and this I have to see is one of the best that have appeared so far (apart from the new Quezon thread presentation) This inspired, enthusiastic and sometimes cheesy lines fit so well into a real-life perspective onto how companies present their vehicles on websites. Although the engine choices do feel quite limited compared to other real-life examples like the Charger/Challenger and Camaro. It makes more sense when you realize that the Corsica company is having financial struggles, so having a big option for engines isn’t very realistic and I love that little detail, and this entire thing makes me feel like I can just go out and actually buy myself a Cheetah right now. Good job, Corsica, because you really hit it out of the ballpark with this one.

The 1980s saw an unprecedented growth for China’s automotive industry, both in importing and exporting. It was during this period that multiple western manufacturers saw an opportunity to expand operations and get more money, striking partnerships with Chinese companies to produce cars locally. These joint-ventures were formed due to both ease of entering the market and certain laws signed in by the Chinese government, targeting local manufacturing in specific.
After the 70’s and continuing to the 80’s, Sisten became an expert at shitting the bed as a company. Fallout from both of the crisis’ with Corsica’s expensive introduction and rollout became two of the largest factors in Sisten attempting to scrape up money in any way humanly possible. CEO Jack Tennant (CEO of the Sisten Motor Company, former neuroscientist) regularly went picking coins out of fountains to fund the new Sisten S1500’s development. It was this period when Tennant also set his eyes on China, an emerging market that would surely love their turds and after negotiations with exactly one company, Sisten found a partner with the Honghu Automotive Corporation, a choice which had obvious reasoning: this would create a chance for Sisten to escape it’s deathbed and for Honghu to produce cars that weren’t exclusively comparable to a burnt cardboard box. Also Innis. Their joint-venture as Honghu-Sisten was formally signed into agreement on July 6th, 1985 with their first factory in Wuhan, Hubei opening just six months later where the venture’s first vehicle, a reworked Sisten Trebla, would then begin production.
The 1994 Auto Policy was established a so called “50% + 2” rule, which “were considered as a necessary policy to buy local automakers time to gain the skills, master the technology and build the brands to allow them to compete before international automakers would be unfettered access to the China market.” Those sure are some words lined up to resemble and English-language sentence. This forced Sisten to give up its majority in the joint-venture as both companies now held 50% investments.
2016
SISTENSUNBURST
The third generation Sisten Sunburst was launched at the 2016 Shanghai Auto Show as a budget compact sedan exclusive to the Chinese market. Slotting between the Arena and Avansar hatchbacks and below the Astem sedan, the Sunburst starts at ¥82,900 or around $12,700.
Mechanically, it’s underpinnings lie on Sisten’s Rocoto platform which it shares with Sisten Avansar and Taluvec Avigate. While all three share the front MacPherson Strut suspension layout, Sunburst utilizes a different semi-trailing arm rear suspension design as a cost-cutting measure and does not receive the 2.0 liter Ecotron engine, instead being optioned with either a 1.2 Ecopower 3-cylinder or the 1.8 Teuro 4-cylinder. Despite being mechanically more akin to the 2011 3rd generation model, multiple body panels are shared with the 4th generation Avansar hatchback, launched around Europe and in the US in 2019.
The 2016 Sunburst reuses the name of an unrelated compact sedan sold by Sisten in North America between 1981 and 1991 across two generations, despite these models having no name recognition or importance in the Chinese market.
Just one engine is available with two variants: the base 1.2 liter 3-cylinder EcoPower generates 78 horsepower, gets over 40MPG and has acceleration comparable to a glacier. The turbocharged version gets a boost to 100HP and 90 lb-ft of those torque stuffs, fuel economy stays at around 41MPG. All models are front-wheel drive and feature a 5-speed manual with a 6-speed automatic available as an option. Got nothing else to type ok byeee

Man, I love the design of the 3rd gen Sunburst. I’d love to turn it into a track monster.
If you want to see some of my designs (Race Cars (Sharing, Commissions..) Suggest your own cars!), I hope that will help to make up your mind 
Anyways let me know!
Above, a TV advert aired around 1985 as part of the Sisten EXC’s launch. “Today’s Excitement”, featured at the end, was Sisten’s tagline from the 80s to the early 90s and was one of the many ideas outlined by the company to bring in a younger, more youthful customer base. To finish it all off, the ad featured a contemporary rock song by some guys who were pretty popular about a decade earlier.

“Damn.”
- Damian Davies
CEO and President of Sisten Motor Company
That went well! As 2020 is closing up, let’s report on the sales of Sisten, Taluvec and Corsica. Now while we are most definitely not looking for anyone to buy SMC out, we also aren’t hoping to continue this “producing-and-selling-cars” thing alone. I repeat: we are not looking for buyers! But please make a bid we’re desperate for money i’m literally begging you if this company goes under then my wife’s going to leave me we can’t handle this virus situation anymore please

TO DISCOVER THE FUTURE
REMEMBER THE COMMONALITY OF YESTERDAY
THE SISTEN VERVE
A new beginning, as they call it. The Sisten Verve is the future turned present with an unique style of its own, designed to deliver an exceptional emotional experience.
6.8s
From 0 to 62mph, RWD
35min
Rapid Charging
Up to 480 miles
Maximum range capacity, RWD
Based on the cutting edge SHEP Platform, Verve is the first of three revolutionary All-Electric Vehicles to be launched in 2021 by Sisten. Starting from now, you can experience the benefits of Sisten’s innovative style, electric power and crossover toughness in one, thought-out package.
YOU’RE SEEING THIS RIGHT
Creating a fine balance between striking and glamorous, the Verve has been designed to draw attention to its captivating elements, no matter where it goes. Full LED Head- and Taillights garnish the front and rear with the Piano Black side cladding giving the car a tough, yet sporty look. This truly is unlike any Sisten you’ve seen before.
IT'S IN YOUR HANDS
Customization has never been more up to you than with Verve. Choose from 15 exterior colors, 9 choices of wheels and 4 interior trimmings - this is your car, after all.
POWER IS ALL AROUND
Under the body is an electric motor pack generating a combined 85 kWh, featuring Rear- (ST) or All-Wheel Drive (EX). No matter the drivetrain, the Verve sprints from 0 to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds, guaranteeing a thrilling ride wherever you go. With 200 kW Fast Charging, the batteries go from empty to fully charged in just 35 minutes. Welcome to 2021.
The underfloor battery design results in a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Were the looks not enough to convice you of its sporting aspirations?
ST
Featuring an 85 kWh Battery capacity and Rear-Wheel Drive.
⠀
EX
Featuring an 85 kWh Battery capacity and All-Wheel Drive.
⠀
Prices to be announced at a later date.
Stay tuned. We aren’t finished yet.

Quite a lot of succ for an EV. Cool design, it really looks good, which is quite an achievement with a crossover-liftback (called crossover coupe by blasphemers) body style. Also I love the wide colour choice (unlike many real cars).

Finally, an EV with… Verve? No wonder it lives up to its name! At any rate, and in any color, it deserves some garage space next to a Corsica Cheetah (which would still be reserved for, and better suited to, properly spirited driving) - I just wish some more of its brighter exterior colors (such as lime green or bright yellow) were shared with other Corsicas and Sistens.

Exclusivity is fun. The first five orderers will be entitled to Verve Love Edition - Featuring full equipment options, an exclusive Sunburst Orange finish and specific insignias dedicated to you, the owner. This is for you.
Big, big thank you to the ever so lovely @DoctorNarfy for the EV drivetrain conversion <3
I truly hope everyone still understands that all of this is a simple side project to real-life. Please do not expect me to start rolling these cars out as soon as “the orders” start, it’s all just a simple pastime I’m already lucky enough to take part in. Cheers.

I promise I’ll be patient…

That offer has finally made the Verve an EV you can love - and it fills you with as much want-one lust as a V8 Cheetah. And this next bit - it’s a godsend for anyone who wants to drive an EV in Beam.
That was for Beam, but I understand that you had to build it in Automation yourself before converting it to Beam - and since Automation does not support electric powertrains, what engine did you use as a placeholder? I suspect it’s something already used in another Corsica/Sisten.
