White is great lol. I will use one in the museum with a link to here and some further storyline for my staff which is in dire need of updateing. Pleasure to do business with you.
well, so the year of action is somewhere in 1980s or what? xD
I mean in your case
Nah modern times 2015 i am at so it’l be worded as i purchased a runner and a parts car and my driver and engineers will prep a modern version for the australia drifting championship
Oh, so modern drift car?
However I’m afraid that Persephones weren’t sold with Right Hand Drive… 
Np il swap a mk3 supra steering rack and chop the dash. The other will stay as if it drove of the production floor. Rh/lh drive meh lol most of my employees specialize in converting american cars to r/h for private imports
Don’t forget to show results after conversion! 
And I guess you won’t use 80hp I4 from 80s for drifting

News from airborneautomotive.com
On main page, there’s an informatiin with Haiyan promo pic posted and headline “Haiyan is coming to an end”. Text of the article below
When we were presenting Haiyan in Q4 2014, we were proud of it and we scored 25.000 redeems for the car in the year. Sadly, sales started to slightly drop but still keeping acceptable level. Today, however we need to finish it’s route in Q1 2017 by releasing 500 last Haiyans, resulting in 17.237 cars due to lack of passing emission standards and the body isn’t strong enough to safe it’s passengers in today’s times. The demand also requires something different and we want to put our racing experience to make something more brutal but in meanwhile more all-around while keeping the same formula of the car.
Prepare for the end.
Sincerely
Mei Onashikara, Press Informator of Airborne Automotive

Okay. Since my massive performance issues on current update of Automation I’ll sit and wait patiently for UE4 update which (hopefully) will be more optimized for weaker PCs.
For now, I put this company on hold and actually when UE4 update pulls out, I plan to remake all the cars and make something more storyline based with actually told names of CEOs, The Founder and all of them and put the cars in more chronological update and maybe better made vehicles more accurate to the era this time?
Tell me what do you think, for now Kee chapter of Airborne is closed.

1967 RZ Hrvatska Sport
info from Djordje Zeniković, creator of the car
History
Airborne Motor Company since it’s beginning in 1947 was having a serious trouble getting in one market - Eastern one, controlled by USSR because the company itself was born actually in USA and some people (including folks at manufacturer called PZS) took Airborne as betrayers who try to lie to people that they’re polish meanwhile they don’t have anything in Eastern Bloc. Meanwhile, those ignorants did not know that Airborne had a deal with Stalin; the founder and all the staff won’t have any problems until they won’t bother to get into markets controlled by USSR.
However, as we know, Joseph Stalin died in 1953 and destalinizing was started. Airborne Motor Company was striken out of the list of USSR’s deadliest opponents, therefore importing cars could be possible. A dealership in Poland, where you wouldn’t need any kind of papers for the cars was planned to be opened in 1957, however some economic interruptions happened.
During 60s there were no chances of opening dealership network in northern bloc part, so Airborne attacked Yugoslavia instead - successfully. You could buy a new Airborne in Rijeka from 1964 to 1966. However, when the dealership was closed it’s boss, Djordje Zeniković was left unemployed with building and service ready. He transformed Airborne Hrvatska into RZ (Rijeka Zeniković) and started designing his own sports car.
In middle 1967 the car was born under the name of RZ Hrvatska Sport. It was very basic and primitive in comparison to Airbornes. It was also very slow - 32.5 seconds to 100 km/h for a sports car is an abysmal score. However, the car had some advantages - pretty good quality (even for western standards!), reliability through the roof, targa roof and excellent handling. It’s often compared to Lotus Seven in terms of it’s destination, since it’s pretty simple sports car for everyone.
Sadly enough, the car haven’t made it to larger audience. People didn’t wanted practical sports car, because they couldn’t pack their families (or illegal luggage) into it, so there were only 6 Hrvatska Sports sold ever and this is the only remaining unit - Djordje’s personal car through all those years. It has mileage of 650.000 km and still runs fine!
But, back to reasons why this thing hasn’t sold - it would have basicly no competitors. Closest thing to this RZ was bonkers Melkus RS1000 and it’s possible competitior from 1960, FSO Syrena Sport was never entered into production.
RZ Hrvatska Sport still reminds hoever as a symbol of true communist sports car and it has so large fanbase that the company is actually developing it’s successor. All we know is fact that HS’s successor will be not very fast, but excellently handling little sports car with lots of tuning potential.
Technicals
As the car is primitive communist contruction, it was adapted to ride on local tough roads and low quality fuel. In the end an 800cc inline 3 that was put in generates about 32 horsepower, which is enough to launch the car to 100 km/h in 32.5 seconds and reach 125 km/h. It was slow, however due to weight of only 602 kilograms HS had excellent braking power and was very easy to drive and did not even need power steering.
The engine runs on simple carburettors and pushrod top-end system and is all cast iron.
There are hard long life tyres installed to comply with quality of Yugoslavian roads as well the suspension was strengthened.
2001 ND4SPD Concept
History
Story of this car begins in 1998, as Synth GT1 is released. It was classified as too good for racing (just like Skyline R32 GT-R), so it started only in one race and the race unit was hidden to today. This did not stop Airborne’s engineers however and they developed nearly identical street version (known as Synth GT1 Stradale) with complete interior, catalytic converters and quieter exhaust. The result is that all 11 cars that were made got sold in first hour of availability for astronomous charges.
Many people after then were asking Airborne if they’re going to look again on topic of uncompromisable supercars due to success of GT1 Stradale, however during 1999 and 2000 company haven’t spoken on that topic.
In late 2000, however, Electronic Arts found out again Synth GT1’s success and they offered Airborne a proposition: “You’ll create another iconic supercar, we will feature it in our next Need for Speed for 2001.”. EA wasn’t waiting too long for an answer, where Airborne agreed. Therefore development of project named Airborne ND4SPD was started.
The car was ready in mid 2001, when there was a working prototype of unnamed 2001 NFS. But, from that point, all things have changed. Electronic Arts had to stop development of the game due to extreme costs of cast, production and several problems with gameplay’s controversy.
Airborne ND4SPD was presented to public in various magazines, it even made to be on 2002 Geneva Motor Show. Airborne basicly had no name for it so it stayed with ND4SPD Concept moniker despite people suggesting names like Vibe, Comet, Annihilator or simply GT. CEO of the company during those years told people, that if ever ND4SPD was about to go into production, it would get Celestine GT name.
Another reason of not introducing ND4SPD Concept into production is fact that in it’s Concept setup it would run into reliability, overheating and safety issues due to pop up lights and engine pushed to true maximum. Also, according to Airborne’s CEO at the time: The Concept in real life is meant to be purely a show car that can go fast, if we were about to create production car, it would be ready in at least 2005. (those words were spoken in January 2003.)
Technicals
From technical side of things, ND4SPD Concept utilised Synth GT1’s powertrain strengthened by about 230-240 hp, increased redline and replaced hypereuctic piston material to low friction cast ones. It’s noticeably faster than Synth GT1 with top speed of 368 km/h and 3.3 second 0-100 km/h time.
Construction-wise, this car is made fully from carbon fiber, features pushrod suspension system, 50/50 AWD and downforce undertray system. The car, however, wasn’t fully finished due to fact that it was just a real life construction planned to be promotional car for new Need for Speed title.
Interior is covered with carbon fibre inlays, bucket alcantara seats, flocked dashboard, large racing-esque steering wheel with starting and indicator buttons + gear changing indicator. Features also premium CD player with GPS radio inside.

1994 Airborne Seishi SR
After 1989 and HQ + main factory moving to Poland and Formula Automation program (which failed) Airborne Automotive was in bad financial condition and noticed some serious losses. This was the time when the company got interested again in market of cheap sports cars - the only cheap thing in middle 90s that could interest buyers was second-gen Cherry, and it was two-seat roadster, and the car that was a class above, S240 appeared only as a convertible with 2.4 litre engine. So, decision was easy - four seat coupe for everyone to everyday use must be done. There, in the spirit of Airborne a car named Seishi was born. It’s only trim was SR and it was produced from 1994 to 1999.
It’s design was heavily inspired by 90s Japanese rivals, as well as BMW E36 coupe - main european rival. It had pop ups headlights, which were popular at the time, as well as practical liftback trunk door.
Aerodynamics were done to be functional and fashional; main inspiration was taken from Nissan and their S13/S14 models. All design inspirations were however kept in Airborne’s spirit.
Rear was undeniably designed under inspiration of Nissan S13, this even lead to sort of controversy but in final both Airborne and Nissan headquarters people agreed that it was only a design inspiration.
Seishi SR wasn’t maybe the most economical thing in it’s class, however people who bought it weren’t disappointed with it’s performance and practicality, as well as possibility to daily drive for long trips on one day and murder it on track day the next day. Airborne has decided to mount their new 2.0 Inline 4 with DOHC head for this car, which got even further fine tuned - the result was presented by 152 hp, which, as mounted with 5 gear, bulletproof manual gearbox and connected to rear wheels could launch the car too 100 km/h in slightly more than 8 seconds (exact time from 90s was 8.3 seconds), and thanks to sleek body Seishi SR could reach 205 km/h (however there are reports which say the car could go even 220 km/h stock, closing the speedometer). It wasn’t very expensive car, as it was priced at 17.650 $ in 2017 USD.
I’m going to post some unreleased projects before I’ll do the UE4 overhaul and close this thread for good. Seishi SR is quite an exception, because it’s UE4 car forcefully done in Kee version of Automation due to Automation D challenge.

Copied from Goodwood 2017
[quote]
Welcome to our stand!
We have always been visiting Goodwood. Not every year with a stand like today, but after all, we’re here and, instead of showing anything new (because we don’t have anything new that could be soon released), we’ll show five cars from our racing heritage.
Let’s begin from the oldest to newest.
1965 LM65
LM65. Airborne’s first attempt into Le Mans racing. It wasn’t very powerful, yet it wasn’t also very quick. It kept up with most sports cars, muscle cars and even early supercars of the era. It has modified 2.3 litre V6 engine from Mirage S2 tweaked to generate 180 hp, and in a car that weighs slightly above 900 kilograms this is a deadly mix. Combined with short ratios and excellent cornering possibilities made it great choice for twisty sections of the track. Sadly, due to short ratios it could only reach 220 km/h which basicly made this car weak on straights.
But, it had one advantage: reliability. When in 1965 Le Mans competitors broke down, needed to pit stop and such, LM65 was stopping only to refuel and, sometime, change tires.
Also, there was a short run of street-legal LM65, and the car you see is the first one out of 30 made. However, people had to wait for fully street-legal Airborne supercar to 1967, when Rome had appeared.
1987 GSX
Group B was a great possibility to create mind-blowing cars without really any limitations. Companies like Lancia, Peugeot or Audi used that possibility. Airborne did not miss that opportunity too - it had a car coded as Gruppe B in works from 1984. However, when the car was almost finished in 1986 Group B had collapsed due to series of tragic incidents. When FIA informed that something called Group S could be founded, and the only real limitation would be company’s budget and 300 hp maximum power limit, Airborne quickly converted two of the Gruppe B prototypes to be another car: the GSX.
GSX name came from “Group S Experimental” and was meant to compete in so-called Group S. Final goal was meant to be AWD mid engined monster with performance comparable to Porsche 959 and 300 hp of power. Two of those goals were reached: mid engined monster and 300 hp. Sadly, in the prototype you see there’s only RWD. It does not mean that the car isn’t quick, because it is: After official presentation in 1987 during Geneva Motor Show FIA cancelled any plans with Group S and therefore Airborne aborted GSX project, leaving it only in form of single RWD prototype (AWD one got totaled during testing).
1990 F90 Stage II
Sadly we can’t bring the car to Goodwood run because it uncontrollably throws flames from engine, therefore it’s dangerous to drive it unless we solve the issue (and if we will solve anyway). However, you can freely go to our paddock and see that car!
F90. Our entrance into short-lived revival of Formula Automation in 1990. Original F90 had raced only in one race of the competition series and with Norbert Nowicki behind the wheel got pretty good 3rd place. In hope of continuation of the series, Nowicki with Airborne Formula Team created continuation of F90: he named it Stage II.
The differences were seen even in exterior: Nowicki replaced characteristic F90 front with more streamlined one, he also got rid of wing of normal racer and replaced it with something that he was even surprised (his rememberable quote about the wing: Kurwa mać ale to wielkie) - from minor modifications there could be also two “exhaust boxes” sticking out of the body preventing it to catch fire, rear cover with more ventilation.
Engine and suspension mods covered replacing the suspension with pushrod one bought from unknown to this day tuning company (probably from Germany) and boosting the engine from 664 hp to values between 800 and 900 hp.
Sadly, F90 Stage II was never raced due to fact that Formula Automation got cancelled just after one race and AFT focused on preparing modified version for endurance racing called F91E (which failed anyway).
##1998 Synth GT1 Stradale
Airborne’s greatest motorsport success to date. During qualifying sessions to Le Mans race race-spec Synth GT1 was so quick that it doubled several 911 GTs, one R390 and plenty of other racers.
Sadly, and luckily enough it was considered by both Airborne and FIA as too good for actual racing on track and got banned. Race spec Synth GT1 (chassis GT1-00000) was transformed into street legal car you can see here on Goodwood.
There are 12 GT1 Stradales ever made (including Chassis Zero). All of them are basicly race spec models tuned down to meet street legal regulations. While still being blisteringly quick with power of 674 hp, Synth GT1 could go 330 km/h (350 km/h in race spec) and has ~3.5 seconds to 100 km/h (race spec - below 3.0). Actually, the car presented still has it’s driver racing seat mounted into the car. The car is so legendary that there were rumors back in 2010-2011 that Airborne may prepare a successor for it, but those rumors were false.
2015 F15 Patricia
F15 Patricia, Airborne’s currently last entry in endurance racing. It raced in 2015 season of Automation Motorsports World Endurance Championship and got 18th place overall. It wasn’t successful, however we revised this car after the final race.
Currently the car you see (it raced in AMWEC with this livery) has about 650 hp of power and is slightly quicker than before. It’s painted in special color called Devil Red, which we save only for best of the best from Airborne. It’s maybe not the best, but at least it won the opinion of the prettiest car in 2015 season of AMWEC.

It’s great to see you showing off your experiences at Goodwood and the touge tournament. The cars you featured in those are simply mind-blowing!
Wow, really? I wouldn’t think so. My experience with Automation is just a mess, but good to know
