The Aether Edition of the Borealis is engineered to deliver the sensation of soaring effortlessly. A 6.0L V12 engine delivers plenty of power to make highway merges and passing maneuvers a breeze. A 6-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission provides smooth, nearly imperceptible shifts. Air-ride suspension with adaptive dampers and active sway bars soaks up bumps while controlling body roll for confident handling. Extensive sound insulation and high-quality interior materials make the cabin a quiet, comfortable place for even the longest of drives.
Artemis. The Feeling of Flight.
About the Brand and Name
This is my second challenge entry under the “Artemis” brand name, conceived as a American sport-luxury affiliate, selling globally, of my main Flint (U.S.) and Constellation (Europe) brands that are so relentlessly practical that it’s essentially impossible to remain on-brand and build a competitive sports car or luxury car. Model names are derived from the names of birds of prey. The “Borealis” as the full-size sedan is derived from the scientific name of the Eastern red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis borealis, that is common in eastern North America. It also sounds fancy and was less clunky than my original idea of “Golden Eagle.” It also seemed fitting because the Eastern red-tailed hawk is a relative of the common buzzard, Buteo buteo, that was considered a bird sacred to the Greek goddess Artemis.
If you blindfolded Aladdin and make him sit in the Château Lavigne IX and then his magic carpet, he won’t be able to tell the difference.
Un nouveau voyage m’attend.
La toute nouvelle Château Lavigne IX la meillure.
Lore
After 12-year hiatus, the famous French sports car manufacturer, Lavigne (also known as Château-Lavigne from 1970-1991 because of the buyout), got revived as a premium-luxury-performance subbrand under Château marque. Château introduced the revival of Lavigne in Geneva International Motor Show 2006. They presented 1 production car, which is the Château Lavigne IX. They also unveil 2 concept cars: one is a gran tourer and the other one is a lightweight mid-engined sports car. These two concepts later went into production in 2007 and 2008 respectively. Lavigne eventually seperated from Château in 2015 to become its own brand, but still under the same umbrella.
Understated, modern styling, a smooth, powerful V8 engine, rear-wheel drive, a plush handmade interior, smart adaptive suspension and top-shelf safety tech make the Prince LS8 the ultimate in Japanese luxury motoring.

When Katami launched their small city car the 360SS back in '62 there was an ever increasing need for more legroom and a more “refined” automobile, the Katami Orion was made to fulfill that back in the early 70s. However, the Orion needed to keep up with the times and the ever increasing competition from the foreign luxury brands and even domestic ones back home.
The all new Katami Orion 460GL features a lot of things such as parking sensors front and rear, a luxurious infotainment with voice controls, active suspension that can adapt based on how you drive. Depending if you’re mainly stuck in traffic or enjoying the sights of the countryside it can change the driving dynamics to fit any scenario on the road. The engine is the potent 400HP FN46DE refined for smoothness.
The exterior of the Orion features an aggressive front end while not being overbearing, it’s unique logo also bears the mark of the constellation Orion which is the brightest star on the sky and represents the highest luxury Katami can offer.

Judging by its flowing lines, my best guess is that this one’s based on the '99 Slantnose - but a 2-door version of it would look even better (though not by much). I’ll let its use of regular untreated steel slide for how good it looks.
