2018 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

Mosport Poseidon V16

In 2015 Mosport introduced an even crazier version of the Poseidon, one powered by a 9.7L twin-turbo V16 to replace the “modest” V12. With the engine producing 1156 hp and 1172 lb-ft of torque, the Poseidon V16 will sprint to 100 km/h in 2.2 seconds then go up to a top speed of 364 km/h. While it’s no top speed record holder, the Poseidon V16 will shine on the track. Its current track time on the Nürburgring is 6:52.68, putting it in the prestigious sub-7 minute club. This also makes it the fastest Mosport ever built.

Construction wise, the Poseidon V16 has not changed. The chassis and body are all carbon fibre and it has pushrod suspension on both axles. The aerodynamics have been improved, with a large wing and splitter being the obvious changes, while the interior has been stripped down some to reduce weight.

This example of the Mosport Poseidon V16 is currently up for auction at a bargain price. This is your chance to own a piece of Mosport history today.

2012 Aero HPC Monza Performante

This entry to the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is really just a taster for a new company I will be rolling out soon, so if you like it be sure to be on the lookout for a new company starting up. I’ve been building a lot of cars for it, but I need to get some actual lore and writing set up before I start rolling cars off the assembly line. Anyway, on with the show!

The Monza features a 500hp, 8700RPM 4.5L V10 coupled to a 7 speed DSG and can reach 190 MPH.

This was my first real attempt to get creative with the fixtures while maintaining an elegant design. Aside from the NSX taillights and wheels by I502K1s all the fixtures are stock. I think I did a decent job, but I’d be happy to get feedback, whether on this thread or in a PM.

Nice car, not a fan of the headlights though.

Thanks, I agree about the headlights. After doing the rear end the front looked kinda stock, but I don’t know what I would have done. Like I said, I tried sticking with stock assets, so it made it more of a challenge. I would have liked to create some sort of recessed square lights, but I don’t know of a good way to accomplish that without mods.

Turbina’s first proper sports car, the 1955 Torpedo.
Pushing 427 ponies and 462 torques all to the rear wheels from a 6666 cc V12 made from two bolted-together inline sixes, it sold surprisingly well and Turbina’s factory couldn’t keep up. Only 93 examples were completed until it stopped production in 1957. The Torpedo wasn’t revived until 1966.

Chassis 000 will be appearing at this year’s Concours d’Elegance.

Epoch Industries

We would like to present three cars out of its private collection for public viewing at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance. In chronological order:


The 1961 Epoch M20 S2600
The second generation to wear the M20 nameplate, this was the car that defined what the M20 series was supposed to be about. This vehicle featured Epoch’s first V8 engine, which was completely designed and built in-house. The heart of the car, the 2598cc (159cui) 60 degree V8 was conservatively rated at 99.5kW (133HP) and 188Nm (139 ft lbs), and could spin out to 6000 rpm. The S2600 managed a 0-100 time in 9.5 seconds, and was only subtly differentiated from the “regular” A2200 model through small V8 badging on the C-Pillar.


1967 Epoch Artemus 3000
Unveiled at the British International Motor Show at Earls Court, London, the Artemus 3000 was like no other Epoch ever released before, and was always intended to be something truly special. Effectively a birthday present to Epoch itself, the Epoch Artemus 3000 was released in a limited production run of only 200 examples. With a mid-mounted 2996cc (183cui) 60-degree OHC V8 (a tweaked version of the M20 V8), fed by a single 4-barrel carb and featuring a tubular exhaust manifold, the focus of the car was unquestionable. This car was both Epoch’s first recorded use of a monocoque chassis on a production car and first recorded use of double-wishbone suspension front and rear. All of this gave the Artemus 3000 a 0-100 time of just under 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 200km/h (124mi/h). The interior of the Artemus was also trimmed in quality materials and contained features and comforts that would not be out of place in a premium sedan, as well as offering a radio as standard.


1971 Epoch M30 Regalis Rex
Recently restored, this is one of the very few surviving examples of Epoch’s only ever muscle car. Featuring our first engine designed and built in the USA, the M30 Regalis Rex epitomises everything that made this automotive era special. The production engine came in at a monstrous 8619cc (526cui), with performance figures of 270kW (362HP) at 4500rpm, and 634.5Nm (468ft lbs) at 2400rpm, all whilst being unleaded-fuel compatible. Featuring a smooth and tough 3-speed automatic gearbox, the M30 Regalis Rex could reach a theoretical top speed of 233 km/h (145 mi/h), dispatch the 0-100km/h sprint in 7.1 seconds, and represented a time that could never be repeated.

1951 Arkani T40

One of world’s first hypercars, With a pre-war 6.2L 250HP OHC V12 engine, It reaches a top speed of over 230km/h, And it’s very fast on straight line. Well, fast… as long as it’s a very long straight line.



With only 10 units built just before the manufacturer went to bankrupt, it is very rare to even find one at car shows like this.




(T40 Race spec parked at the Gasmean Racing Conservatory)

7 months later… a racing workshop received 1 of the 10 units of the T40. Due to it’s tuning potential, and superb handling, they turned it into a Proper racing machine. Well, Proper… except for the brakes… they cannot take the huge weight of the car…

The colors man, just wow it all looks so good. Easily the best you’ve made yet.

Zacspeed is exultant to announce that it is presenting a car at Pebble Beach. Many would expect a wild supercar or even a hypercar of some form, but we are not the people to fall into such tomfoolery. An occasion of this magnitude deserves much more than the prefixes “super” and “hyper,” hence why we took much time to develop this vehicle.

Performance sans compromise. This company was assembled around this concept, one where the pursuit man must maintain into the future is to soar beyond what is deemed the limits of human ingenuity and technology. By doing this, man will transcend such barriers. It is an ethos that the Zacspeed A1GP firmly concretizes through unyielding handling, biting brakes, and an avalanche of power.

Fifteen years after promising talks with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile on supplying a power plant and Zacspeed’s upset by Zytec replacing it as the engine supplier for the upcoming A1GP series, the event still left many an employee disgruntled and disillusioned. The 3.0L V10, inspired by that of a Formula One engine, sulked in a glass display. Hopes of becoming an engine supplier in a class of open-wheel racing dissolved at the snap of the FIA’s fingers. There were dreams that the engine would be utilized in a road car, but those never came to full fruition. Frustrated at how the engine was never utilized in a car, the team unanimously voted to build a new version of this engine and shoehorn in a performance car with one goal in mind: performance sans compromise.

Immediately, the power plant was upped in displacement to 11.4L, and watermelon-sized ball-bearing turbochargers were installed. Five valves per cylinder was a mandate the employees were all too excited to hear; an aggressive cam profile, variable valve timing on all camshafts, and 2.77 bar boost furthered the joy’s overflow. Direct injection with one throttle per cylinder, a racing intake, and a fuel mixture richer than the suburbs further sent the boffins bonkers.

What will set everyone else in a frenzy will be the numbers: despite only revving to 8,700 revolutions per minute, it develops 3,119.4 horsepower and 2,417.6 lb-ft of torque. The former figure is the equivalent of 2.33 megawatts, verifying the drastic scale at which the engine was being built.

The magnesium, aluminum, and titanium motor, once fully assembled, fell into the middle of the car just ahead of the rear axle, and its power is transmitted to all four of the car’s 395-millimeter-wide points of contact with the ground. Unpainted carbon fiber enshrouds the engine and the chassis it is a stressed member of. The bodywork was slashed multiple times to open up vents for air and the intercooler, and out of it springs sharp cutlery which provides downforce rivaling, and sometimes trumping, prototype and formula cars. All assembled, the car weighs 3,412.9 pounds. This gives it a power-to-weight ratio of 0.914 horsepower per pound, or 2.015 horsepower per kilogram. It shreds 62 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds, crush 80-120 km/h in 0.6 seconds, vaporize the quarter-mile in 7.62 seconds, and thrash the standing kilometer in 14.23 seconds while only topping out at 212 miles per hour. We didn’t forget about stopping from speed, either; that 80.38 foot braking distance comes courtesy of meaty carbon-ceramic brakes finished in red calipers and trapped behind carbon wheels with red trim.

Standing as a testament to the dedication of these engineers to this magnum opus, the base tune for this car is designed to fly around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in as little as 5:15.60. This is the tune that was used for testing the car at multiple tracks, including the Dunsfold Aerodrome (51.54), Pike’s Peak (6:51.42), Circuit de la Sarthe (3:05.66), and the Automation Test Track (1:27.09). These are among the fastest times that a closed-wheel car set at these tracks, and they were done using an unoptimized tune. As we continue in our quest of obscene speed, a booklet of tuning setups for each track will be made available. Alongside that, each car can be tuned to the owner’s liking.

There is no substitute to, no compromise for, and no equal of the A1GP. Be it evidenced by the monster motor, wild wings, and bleeding-edge technology, it is clear that it represents the pinnacle of closed-wheel race cars. Since this does not conform to any current series’ regulations, it will, ironically, not be eligible to go into any races. This is okay. It is not why the car was built in the first place.

The A1GP arose out of immeasurable, repressed frustration at how it was replaced as an engine supplier. For the company to secure this position in an exciting, upcoming class of motorsport would have embossed its name into the minds of many as a purveyor of pure performance. Zacspeed holds the same hope as before in introducing this car, but now with a crave to dice seconds and acquire records. Performance sans compromise is the explanation, and Colin Chapman described it simply: “a racing car has only ONE objective: to WIN motor races. If it does not do this it is nothing but a waste of time, money, and effort.”

Thus, it is more than just an extreme performance vehicle. It is the asseveration of Zacspeed’s philosophy and allegiance to innovation.
