(The lights come on, revealing Nakano Nori stepping up onto the stage with her english translator in tow. A pair of cars can be seen as silhouettes, lit from behind, in the background)
(-note- I’m just putting the translated English, because having both Japanese and English script is too much effort)
“Good afternoon everyone! Who’s ready to see what Abran has in store for you?”
-cheering and applause-
“Good, good. Well, in case you couldn’t tell, we’ve got two all new high performance cars to talk about; so let’s get started!”
-some light applause-
(A light comes on behind Nori and her translator, revealing a stark black sporty coupe. The projector at the back of the stage comes on to reveal pictures of the car)
“First up is the new 5th generation Abran Sport, aptly named the Sport ‘5’ in commemoration of Abran’s 50th anniversary, and the announcement of the original Abran Sport 2-6 at the 1970 Frankfurt Auto Show!”
-very loud applause and cheering-
“The Sport 5 comes equipped with a 2.1L straight five motor that makes 238 horsepower!
-moment of pause-
But of course, it also has a 6 speed manual transmission and rear wheel drive, a state of the art interior, and aggressive, sporty styling.”
-some moderately loud applause-
“The Sport 5 is the embodiment of the mindset that went into creating the Sport 2-6, and has the same spirit and energy as the 50 year old Sport 2-6; and every last detail just adds to the experience. Every aspect is expertly designed to give the very best driving experience possible.”
“The Sport 5 will be available in 3 different trim levels. The S, S+, and SL. The S trim is the base model, featuring a standard interior layout. The S+ trim features a HUD, and the SL model features a more premium HUD and Lunaro Sports bucket seats.”
“With the S trim starting at just twenty-five thousand Euros, the Sport 5 is affordable for sports cars enthusiasts.
-moment of pause-
But for those who desire something, more, we have something completely new.”
(Nori spreads her right arm towards the still dark portion of the stage and a light comes on, revealing the car. The screen changes to pictures of the other car)
-stunned silence from the audience-
“This is the all new Hyper Sport! A brand new model to celebrate our 50th anniversary!”
-thunderous applause and cheering-
-after noise settles down- "The Hyper Sport is powered by a turbocharged inline five cylinder engine making over 550 horsepower! This is our first turbocharged engine, ever. And the Hyper Sport is the perfect car for it. The Hyper Sport only comes in one trim; but has all wheel drive, a seven speed sequential transmission, and a premium, racing oriented interior. The Hyper Sport is the pinnacle of Abran performance, and is exceptionally fast on the track because of it’s lightweight chassis and frame. "
“The Hyper Sport can be yours for a premium price of sixty-five thousand Euros. And it’s worth every last one. Faster and more exciting than the 50 year old Sport; new and refreshing. But even still, the Sport 5 has i’ts charms and will stand out from the crowd of other modern sports cars. Ultimately, the choice is yours; but maybe you’ll be swayed and pick one of these phenomenal cars for your next ‘fun car.’ Thank you all, and have a wonderful rest of the show! The stage will be open so you can come and check out the cars.”
(Nori and her translator step off the stage and the lights come on to fully illuminate the stage. Security guards remove ropes on either side of the stage, giving access to the stage and its contents to the anxious reporters in the audience.)

-Hoped you enjoyed my tidbit of lore, I haven’t completely fleshed out Abran and their parent company Alpha yet; but these were the only 2020 cars I had on hand, besides a single model from Alpha.
