I really hope they make a hardcore road-legal trim of the Valkyrie, one that can channel some of the authentic race-car feel of the GTR-1… it would be an opportunity not to be missed.
Would you mind if I made a GTR Championship car to compete with it? If so, what are the regulations? (edit) Do you mean the irl gt1 touring car races?
There is a road version of the Valkyrie 
I used the irl touring cars specs, like engine, brakes and stuff. I would love to see more like my girl

GHOST SQUADRON
DO ONLY THE BEST
Hallo, Welcome to a Unique Presentation by Ghost Squadron at Shanghai. It’s a few weeks to the show, but we are here online, to present our company to not only interested investors, but globally to the world.
We are a small automotive outfit from Norway, and we are here to announce we are looking for investment in our first production Hypercar.
ATHENA
The Athena is the culmination of everything the company has worked towards since we came together as a collective in 2010. Featuring an Aluminium Semi-Spaceframe Chassis with intergrated Carbon Fibre panels, and a 4.5L V16 sitting at the core, the Athena is Everything this Company has dreamed of, and we hope we find a group to help fund our project.
Takk, og ha det bra.

Auto Shanghai Pre-Show Coverage
Hello, and this is Abdullah Muhammad not me too from Drivers.com, and we’re now live in the Chinese city of Shanghai. Auto Shanghai may not as large or flamboyant as New York’s other car show, but there’s a ton of new cars to show there! And as usual we are going to there to cover what’s new and what’s hot on this motor show, and see what everything the Land of the Dragon can do. So, why are you waiting for? Let’s begin!
Highlights:
(DISCLAIMER: Most of the highlights can be seen on our NYIAS pre-show coverage by Carol Lee, so we mostly cover some exclusive news from this show. NYIAS coverage here)
Blaire Automotive have just teased the new Albatross on NYC, as reported by Carol Lee, but now Blaire just announced the next Soccar here in Shanghai. I just wish I don’t mispronounce the car as Soccer.
(Kaul has the 266 teased on NYC beforehand, and now they also plan to launch the same car in Shanghai. I’ll skip it for now.)
Again, AL Autos has planned all the launches that is going to New York to Shanghai, and I can’t say about the looks. Oh well, at least there’s nothing bad about the rear of the other SUV they posted.
Ukko has released their new GTR Championship car, the GTR-1. With very big lights of course.
Gremlin’s latest Hawaii SUV claims to make Jeep a side story. And it seems that it’s going to fail a big time since every consumer will rather have the real deal.
Yeah, it’s expected for a Chinese ad to show on the car show for some reason. Well, it says that Huangdou is launching 3 new cars to the show, i.e. New World, CC and a electric car named PA.
(sidenote (from F12OM a.k.a. myself): I do know Chinese, but there’s like 5-6 billion people in this world doesn’t know about the language, so next time please make an English translation for similar ads)
Saminda plans to release an electric vehicle for the show, and it’s named as the Huali NGEV, something that wouldn’t see any chance of exporting.
(Carol (from NYIAS) has done the news for the Ursula’s new car release, so I’ll skip it for the time being)
Cardinal has launched another Skyline tribute known as the Skyline 2020 with a high price…and a measly 13 hp increase. Really, what?
Finally, meet Norwegian automaker Ghost Squadron’s newest car Athena. Ugh, The looks are deceiving me. Although it has an impressive tools to conquer.
And that’s it for all the things happened on the motor show held in China’s largest city. Want more news? Drivers.com has more reports on NYIAS, and stay tuned for the official report, and reveals for this year’s Auto Shanghai!
敬请关注！ (“Stay tuned!” in Chinese, BTW)

Ursula AG Official Press Event @ Auto Shanghai
SHANGHAI: Ursula AG has officially announced the company’s latest vehicle, i.e the all-new Ursula FX1 compact crossover in the company’s first official event in Shanghai this year.

The FX1 crossover is Ursula’s smallest crossover offering. Based from the advanced Ursula Advanced Modular Platform (UAMP), the FX1 boasts top-notch safety, sportiness, fuel efficiency and performance, yet being 30% lighter than similar vehicles thanks to the use of high-strength steel, aluminum and carbon fiber parts.
Outside, the car feels like it’s from the future, thanks to the extensive use of Fluid Design. With the new body the FX1 has a Cd value of 0.24, making the car much aerodynamic than it’s competitors.
Under the car the FX1 uses double wishbone front/multi-link rear suspension like most sports cars do, and it helps the car to have excellent handling and driveability. With an AWD system and an electric LSD as standard, the FX1 is also wonderful car to drive in every terrain and condition.
The 1.5 liter L3, currently the only petrol power plant at launch, uses Ursula’s TXi technology to help the car generate as much power as similar-sized L4s while generating less emissions and saves more fuel in the process.
Also, an electric motor variant is available at the same time as it’s petrol counterpart. The all-new electric power plant gives the FX1 a throaty 140 PS of power and 220 Nm from the start, and it’s 300 km range can make every trip easier. The use of SmartCharge technology helps the car to charge it’s battery from zero to 80% in just 45 minutes.
Inside the car you’ll find every amenities specially tailored for the drivers and passengers in mind. The all-leather seats, smart air conditioning and Ursula Drive Modes helps the driver to experience the best of Ursula even in a small package. The all-new Ursula Guide voice assistant now comes standard on all FX1 models, as well as the 6th gen Ursula Command Center powered by AMD Ryzen technology is also the major features that is available only on this car, compared to the competition.
The FX1 is small, but it’s also designed to be as safe as possible. With DriveSafe Plus technology the FX1 can automatically adapt for the highest safety in every road condition. External airbags are also standard kit in the car, allowing for more passenger and pedestrian safety.
Tired of driving? The advanced AI-based Smart Drive Assist that premieres on the F7 sedan is also available on the FX1 as an optional kit. This technology allows the car to have up to Level 4 automation, allowing the car to react to most road conditions by itself.

Brooklands GT-X Roadster Miglia Auto Shanghai
Brooklands GT-X Roadster Miglia Auto Shanghai
1100bhp
375km/h
2.5 seconds to 100km/h
Tom Shawe, Brooklands Media Spokesperson
Developed at the world famous Brooklands Motor Manufacturing Centre in South London, the GT-X is the crowning achievement of road and race technology meshed together into one, glorious machine. Using lessons learned from over 70 years of heritage, this magnificent piece of British engineering combines excellent road holding with mind melting acceleration whilst still being a comfortable long distance cruiser. The Roadster Miglia name harkens back to the humble beginnings under Edward Hampden, a legendary driver who set about winning the legendary Mille Miglia in his home-built sports car. Today, Brooklands employs over 200 people across its 3 facilities, with a dedicated 12 man team working hard to produce our newest road car.
The GT-X will go on sale in China in autumn, with pre-orders opening during the Public opening of Auto Shanghai 2019. Initial manufacturing numbers indicate an estimated 120 cars a year, with over 60 orders already in line across Europe.
1951 Brooklands Roadster Miglia (A212)
116bhp
185km/h
9.6 seconds to 100km/h
Johnny Hoggard, British Historic Racing Championship driver
It’s with great pleasure I bring Brooklands chassis no.1 to the wonderful city of Shanghai as the company once again embarks on a crusade with its newest addition. This car won the 1952 Mille Miglia and came third in the Targa Florio that year. It was an excellent car to drive and still remains a beautiful thing to behold. I fully expect this will capture the imagination of all those that lay their eyes upon it
