The Miller Automobile Co. has another car to show. We present to you the Miller 416 Concept. Equipped with a 585 HP 4.1L crossplane V8 and a 6 speed manual transmission connecting the rear wheels, the 416 will rocket to 60 MPH from a standstill in 3.6 seconds and will top out at 232 MPH. The 416 is a pure driver’s car, with the only electronics equipped on it is the infotainment center and the only driving aid being the power steering.
Solo Motors Co.'s luxury division, Diamond Automotive, would now like to present something special…
You might remember the astonishing 1971 Diamond Emerald, of which the Gold trim was the new standard for performance and luxury. We have here a perfectly preserved example from our museum, in Dark Emerald. With our 5.3L V8 mounted into a mid-engined body, we created the ultimate supercar and subsequently ended its production after one generation.
I’m sure you’ve seen the teaser at the 2015 Mondial de l’Automobile and Tokyo Motor Show and heard all the invited journalists raving about it. Without further detail, it is now time to fully unveil to the public…
…the 2016 Diamond Emerald! We have finally revived this historic nameplate for the 2016 model year in celebration of 45 years since the introduction of this model. We made sure to include styling cues from the original while keeping the design entirely modern. The Gold trim here features our all-new 4.5L V8 that will make its way into our entire lineup, but don’t expect the turbocharged variant to be available in the next Opal or Obsidian. Producing 752 hp and 604 ft-lb of torque, the 7-speed sequential transmission and AWD bring it from 0-100 km/h in 3.1 seconds and to a top speed of 353.8 km/h. Naturally, this is combined with a hand-crafted interior of leather and alcantara for the ultimate experience of performance and luxury. The Emerald’s styling also previews our new design direction. It will go on sale this summer and starting at $235,000, with a performance-oriented Titanium trim to follow sometime next year. Visit our information booth for a brochure and pre-order information.
I agree, looks very elegant. I love it when standard fixtures are combined to create completely different shapes.
Vent-Exhausts would have fitted that back perfectly.[/quote]
I unfortunately couldn’t get a decent look from vents for what I wanted to do. So oval exhausts it was I used a black trim piece across one of the grills so there isn’t a chrome bar crossing over the exhausts, and the only thing that would stick out further was the big chrome tailpipes. It was that of exhausts in the diffusor, but I wasn’t feeling the latter.
“I once almost could afford an Airborne branded coffee mug”
Haha, thanks for opinion. But hey, what do you expect from high-quality flagship model which probably would cost you in refueling more than your MX-5 in total? Airborne mugs, starting from $9.99, with autograph of CEO, $49.99!
BTW. CEO saw Barney (this bearded guy in leather jacket having fun in Knossos V8 when testing switches and touchpad was the CEO) and his reaction was like “kurwa, co to za debil?” (mild translation: Fuck, who is this idiot? - sorry, polish XDD)
JSC Automobili Speciali had reserved a medium-sized room at the exhibition. There was only one doorway.
Inside everything was black. But dimly lit by a couple of spotlights there was this standing in the middle:
No plaque with text; no announcements, no interviews, nothing. Not even a name. But people knew that JSC had not yet presented anything for the company’s 70th anniversary…
Echoing on the hallway is a rumour though, that this could in fact be a pre-production prototype of JSC’s next-generation hypercar. One reporter swore he had seen this beast
on the Nurburgring a couple of weeks ago, but he had had a quite a few pints of local beer so who knows…?
Simply the finest in luxury, the 2016 Grosser on display features a fine Bocote wood interior, with soft yet firm cream colored leather upholstery. Its entertainment system includes high-definition screens in the front seatbacks, and an Atholl-Brose X256 surround sound system.
They complain that I don’t sell my hardcore off-road vehicles in america, I give them one and a 600+ hp V12 Luxury SUV for $50k less than a Mercedes G65, and they care more about a Chevy SSR with a 4.8L engine that would be considered underpowered by 1990s standards.
The 2016 Solo Diamond Emerald is very good looking. Nice to see a supercar that is actually elegant and beautiful and without excess - certainly a different approach from my company’s latest supercar…
Also, the adventures of reporter Barney make for really funny reading. Last night my wife wondered what the heck I was doing on my computer as I was laughing out loud so much
ABR has an ongoing design competition, and the Quicksilver Luxury concept just might become one of their future models! Due to the competition still being ongoing, there is not much we can reveal about this car. It was designed by the Solo designers, the interior is luxuriously appointed, and it’s powered by a naturally aspirated versions of the 4.5L V8 found in the recently unveiled Diamond Emerald. 0-100 is under 5 seconds, top speed is over 300, and weight distribution is a hair from 50/50. We estimate that should it make it to production, it will be available for under $60,000.
in a corner of the show that isn’t seeing many people, galt has yet another vehicle on display, this time, it’s a '99 Kyaria, but it’s no normal one. With the idea from the V12 concept of '99, some wealthy guy got a V12 custom built for the van, and galt was kind enough to have his van at the show. the van is respectively named Kyaria, Zero Fucks Given edition.
and on a monitor, there is a video playing of it’s lap around the airfield track: youtu.be/zGhQMD_UQpc
and the guy is also asked by someone to turn it on, they start it up but don’t run it for too long just because of how loud it was: youtu.be/_I_rl7p9eEM
sorry to keep posting everywhere, i got bit by the creativity bug.
