The Argentieri Supremazia Fortissimo is the Italian sport sedan everyone likes but are skeptical about buying one. Even though there might be the aformentioned skepticism surrounding the Supremazia and its striking resemblance to an Alfa Romeo, The car is built to a high standard, sure, it may have a bi-turbo system and may have many bits and bobs that may break over time, but it will certainly last longer than any other Italian car and since it costs only $64700 it is certainly worth the spending. It’s V8 engine is assisted by the bi-turbo system to output nearly 600 Newtons of torque and 462 horsepowers with maximum fuel economy to slow down the inevitable death our planet faces. The 6 ratio manually operated transmission will make sure you are in control at all times, at the inconvenience of having to constantly wrestle with it while in traffic. The car also comes with optional roof rails in case you want to go skiing or strap luggage to the roof. The standard 21 inch aluminum alloy wheels are there to give the car a bit of extra bling. The interior is not completely sparse as it has a proper fully fleshed out infotainment system… from a Lexus LX.
So, with that in mind, come down to your local Argentieri or Lexus dealership and give one a go. Available with 12 month or 24 month warranty. See the official Argentieri website for info on Financing and Leasing. Also, as part of our 50th anniversary deals you get a free Argentieri Cinquanta Anni Anniversario T-shirt and 25% off on all Argentieri Merchandise when you buy any brand new Argentieri model.
(Also, Abg, don’t expect immediate submission as there are 8 days remaining and I don’t want to overwhelm you.)

2018 RCN Pursuit
DB
In collaboration with @Vena.Sera423
Founded in 1996 by a partnership with the infamous FWM, Reconciliation Motors is well known for its high-value models that are popular in North America, as an American budget-oriented alternative to Kaizen. However, RCN cars are sold around the world under various names, and thus have gained an international following.
One of these models is the Pursuit, redesigned in 2016. Heavily related to the FWM Niratius, it is powered by a wide range of in-house RCN engines as well as various FWM and Kaizen engines, depending on the market. When they were first introduced in Australia in the early 2000s, they gained a big following as a competitor to the Holden Commodore, Ford Falcon, and various larger Toyota and Chrysler models, as they offered traditional large car comfort in RWD and AWD layouts, along with legitimate performance if one desired such a thing. However, being manufactured in the US, they were much more expensive than domestically made alternatives. Thus, both FWM and Kaizen made the decision to use Kaizen’s manufacturing base in Australia to make AUDM and some Asian market vehicles.
The Driver’s series, in both Base and Sport variants, also made their way overseas. This specific model is the Driver’s Base variant, made in Australia, and is a base level performance variant. Featuring a naturally aspirated OHV 6.3L direct-injected V8 coupled to a 6 speed manual driving the rear wheels, it features various advanced technologies in the interior, powertrain, and chassis for better usability, performance, and efficiency. The main option added is the AUDM specific cooling package and it comes with the standard 155mph speed limiter
With various economic and political factors on the horizon, it is unclear how sustainable the Australian manufacturing operation is. Thus rumors have been flying that this will be one of the last Australian-made Pursuits, and by extension, RCNs ever.

Overview
The Arlington Bearcat is a sports/premium sedan produced by Arlington Automotive Industries. What started as a sports midsize is now close to a full-size sedan in size, but remains relatively light as this generation incorporates Arlington's HyperFrame aluminum chassis - a technology that was first utilized in the Foxhound muscle car. This particular Bearcat is the SR trim, a high-performance version that uses a 7L SOHC V10 making 529 horsepower and 506 pound-feet of torque. Interestingly, the V10 version has some similarities to lower trims: It has no air suspension and only 6 airbags whereas the luxury-oriented trims have 10. A manual is standard, though Arlington's new 9-speed automatic is also an option.The Bearcat is mass-produced in both LHD and RHD because it’s sold throughout the Commonwealth. It is considered a competent premium sedan with great driving dynamics and respectable practicality - though of course everybody recognizes that the SR is a different beast altogether. Clocking in at 56,500 USD or slightly over 70,000 AUD, the SR isn’t the cheapest option in its class, but it offers a level of driving engagement and handling that is flat out inaccessible to any but the most sports-oriented rivals.

*This car doesn't meet some weird rule about wheelbase or something, but I spent too much time on it not to enter it. (and before you ask, yes automation classifies this body as a coupe, and yes I am indeed a moron)

I am qualified to say that it is not a coupe
Oh yeah? Well then, why isn’t it called the Delacourt DCS RLuxury!?

A British brute of a muscle car.

The Arion Shoebill was already a menacing muscle car proven on the track and drag strip, but now with it’s 5.0L V8 gaining upgraded twin turbos, a lightweight sport package with carbon-fibre lavished over the revitalised styling and new advanced safety, suspension and traction aids, it was better than ever before.

Why would a Japanese commuter car brand would make a V8-powered full-size sedan? IDK… But Tanaka does have an experience in making sports cars and sports sedan before so…
Also, a more luxurious version of the Crezta is the Auxio AL.

2018 Mara Kavaler AMM Performance Package M
Grounded in tradition. Ready for your ride into the future.
Finally arrived in the showrooms - the 2018 AMM Performance Package for Mara’s 2016 all-new Kavaler! The Kavaler nameplate goes back to the 70s and is now in its third generation, still following the traditional grand sedan formula of a naturally aspirated V8 in front and the driven wheels in the rear. Mara’s in-house performance department AMM has brought the Kavaler’s 4.6l V8 up to over 240 kW in power and 420 Nm of torque. The suspension and brakes have been upgraded and tuned as well for a sporty yet controllable ride and to provide reassurance for the driver to safely experience a 0-100 time of under 5.5s and a top speed of over 250 km/h in the fastest Mara ever on sale! Cornering is also enhanced by a limited slip differential and, for the first time in a Mara-AMM, electronically controlled sway bars and stability control. Restrained yet effective wings provide additional support in high-speed corners.
The performance package’s M variant is specifically aimed at the driver who wants to be firmly in control, providing a manual 6-speed gearbox instead of the alternative advanced 6-speed automatic in the A variant. The Kavaler AMM brings you the same generous cabin and boot space as the regular Kavaler sedan, but combined with luxurious performance at a very affordable price. Checkout the new Kavaler AMM in the showroom of your local Mara dealership*, ready for a test ride!
*Cars on display are in AMM’s signature triumph-yellow. Other colours available.
Not sure whether this should rather go into the Bad Car Design challenge, but I already submitted there, so…
