The FS: The full-size luxury sedan by Anueis.
Before we continue, we would like to announce that the FS35 and FS50 will be discontinued. The car will only come with a boxer 6 or a V12, with the FS60 acting as the middle trim level.
Let’s talk about the exterior. The new FS has refreshed styling. Everything is changed, ditching the 2014-esque styling. The new design still follows Anueis’ design language, which is known as ‘The Aurora Guide.’
The car maintains the carbon fibre build of the outgoing FS, resulting in the same lightweight, yet rigid construction. All of the body panels are made from carbon fibre, even the wing mirrors. This is to reduce weight and overall safety. The reduced weight improves driving dynamics and efficiency.
An update to the game shrunk the car’s engine bay, which meant we needed to make a smaller engine but with the same bore and stroke for the 6 liter model. Interestingly, this engine makes 115 nm more torque, a 13% increase, and 50 more horsepower, which is an 8% improvement. The new engine is dubbed the ‘W2’ because it’s a heavily revised version of the ol der W1 design. Most of the parts have been revised to result in a better engine, and now the turbochargers are fully spooled by 2700rpm, making around 18.3 psi (1.26 bar.) This results in plenty of low-mid range power and torque. The new design is also quieter and smoother than the old W1 engine. The newer engine was also designed with tuning potential in mind, if you’re into that.
The engine’s bottom end is slightly unusual, having low friction cast pistons, rather than forged. The connecting rods are made out of titanium, while the crankshaft is billet steel. There is direct injection with individual throttle bodies and a free flowing airbox to keep dust from coming into the engine, while still retaining good performance. Overall, the new engine design has vastly improved over the old one.
Now, I would like to cut this article to announce something.
We are seeing the demise of V12 powered cars. The Mercedes Benz S-Class is losing its V12 option, So will the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8. Everyone is dropping their V12 engines in favor of smaller engines with less cylinders. But we don’t plan on doing that. This is both good and bad for us. It means that our cars will be unique to the rest of the full-size luxury sedans on the road but we still keep our car fuel efficient so you don’t need a small commuter.
And now, back to the Anueis FS.
The new model has revised suspension, increasing comfort and drivability at the same time. The bounciness has been reduced greatly. The wheels are also the same at the front and rear; Having 295mm tires all round, rather than the 295s up front and 305s at the rear that the old model had. The new car pulls 1.12g’s in the 200m circle test. It was tested on racetracks, mountain passes, city streets, and bad roads to ensure comfort and optimal handling practically anywhere. This car is comfortable on any road, and can be driven at high speeds on a racetrack with no issues.
This new Anueis FS is a facelift to the Series II, otherwise the car is more to a big update than a small update facelift. The new front seats are 28-way heated-ventilated seats which are upholstered in aniline leather, available in hundred different colours and customers could request for a custom interior colour. The rear seats are 23-way heated-ventilated seats which are upholstered in the same aniline leather and both front and rear seats have the Balinese Massage function. The rear passengers can enjoy their massage while laying down in a relaxed way since they can recline for 48 degrees and the rear seat passenger which sits behind the front passenger seat could get extra legroom with the Ottoman function which pushes the front passenger seat into to give a massive legroom. These seats are modeled after first class seats used by Singapore Airlines, Etihad Airways, Emirates and inspired by the guest rooms of Ritz Carlton, Pangu, and Signiel Seoul; co-developed with RECARO and with the help from expert doctors to achieve maximum comfort for the long haul. Buyers can also choose their interior being upholstered with leather, velvet, velour, or wool; with choices of interior colours; white, black, champagne, cognac, gray, dark gray, light gray, maroon red, low saturation dark green, and custom colours could be chosen if the customer desires. The FS comes standard with a TAGHeuer dashclock, and buyers can opt in the optional Breguet dashclock if desired.
We also replaced the colourful ambient light in favor for our new ambient light system. The new ambient light system offers warm and cozy feels in the interior which replicates the Japanese Andon lantern glows. Interior trim is available in various choices; high gloss piano black, ebony burl, red oak, walnut burl, teak wood, Agathis. Door trims can be carved on the Jepara, Semarang, Balinese, Javanese pattern and all patterns are CNC carved.
For relaxed driving, the Anueis FS is equipped with Level 4 Autonomous Driving. This allows a level of autonomy never before seen on production vehicles. Level 4 Autonomous Driving means the car is able to operate unsupervised by the driver. The car can also be remotely controlled via smartphone app. The app allows the car to start/stop, unlock/lock doors, park, and pick up passengers, all by itself
Back seat entertainment is simply unmatched. Behind the front seats, there are wood trims which conceals the infotainment system. As you pop the trim, there will be a screen and a picnic table with some chrome outlines. Added privacy is available by pairing their wireless headphones, wired, or otherwise. Seat configuration can be controlled via the center control panel, with a touchscreen screen and wood-and-leather trimmed.
To improve smoothness, we finally added an automatic gearbox option to the lineup. Our SilkShifter 9-speed automatic gearbox is made to be as smooth as silk with minimal power loss. The system is using two gearboxes into one; 9-speed advanced automatic and CVT gearbox. The CVT gearbox creates various final drives and by this, the Anueis FS could adapt to various road conditions without any problem. The system maintains the shift points and keeps the car in the effective powerband which improves fuel economy and acceleration at the same time.
Owning a piece of engineering is not that hard. The Anueis FS is a gem which is available for Automation and the car is available as a BeamNG exported car.
