HINODE MAHKOTA ATHLON

The ultimate driving experience

Overview

As one of Hinode’s very first automotive nameplates, the Mahkota has always been considered one of the company’s defining vehicles. With decades of engineering expertise and design finesse, the Mahkota is the hallmark of the luxury car segment, with a reputation one could only hope to reach.

In the wake of the Japanese economic bubble, however, the Mahkota faced a crisis. Sales for the Mahkota dropped as people spent less on luxury vehicles, while the prestige of the Mahkota declined as the general public viewed the Mahkota as an old man’s car. In response to this, Hinode decided to radically change the Mahkota and turn it into a car that young people (as well as its existing customers) aspire to have.

Thus, the 12th generation Mahkota was released in 2003, replacing the 11th generation model which was sold from 1999 to 2003. Gone was the old, boxy styling reminiscent of even older Mayflower land yachts from the 1970s, which was replaced by a sleeker, modern style that looked into the future.

The focus of the Mahkota also changed. Heavy emphasis has been pu into the new Mahkota’s driving dynamics, transforming what was traditionally a car focused almost solely on comfort into a competent vehicle that can punch other cars hard at the driver’s discretion.

The Mahkota continued to be offered in three variations: the Brougham (Royal Brougham in Japanese/Asian markets), the Athlon, and the Imperial. The Athlon was the performance-oriented version if the Mahkota, coming with a 3.5L inline six, 18 inch wheels, and performance-oriented suspension tuning. The engine featured the latest in valvetrain and direct injection technologies, delivering power consistently across the power band efficiently, reducing fuel consumption whilst providing the drivers with naturally aspirated driving pleasure.

Specifications

Vehicle Type	Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 4-door sedan
Engine	3.5L Inline 6 with Direct Injection
Power	305hp @ 6500rpm

I remember this car from the 2005 Family Car Challenge, but this is a higher-end trim with more standard equipment and a bigger engine to satisfy the needs of true luxury car buyers. At any rate, a high-performance trim of the Mahkota, with an even bigger, more powerful engine, would make for a nice sleeper car.

2006 QUEZON CORDOVA

BEAUTY GIVEN A NAME

DETAIL A

With Quezon’s restructuring of the 2000s came their decision to finally move upmarket. One of the firsts to help with this movement was the Cordova, Quezon’s beloved subcompact/compact car that recieved its latest update in 2005, marketed as a 2006 model.

Regarded by some as a mere facelift (not exactly wrong), the 2006 Cordova boasted new features developed to showcase the brand’s never ending ingenuity. The chassis was almost the same platform as the previous, with its underpinnings having the same J code like its predecessor, but instead of being J2B, it was labeled J5. very creative

The new J5 chassis code Cordova was longer than the previous by a few centimetres, bring its class up to a premium subcompact. Both sedan and coupe were still available, and the front-wheel-drive powertrain was retained with optional four-wheel-drive. Suspension was carried over from the previous generation, with double wishbones all around.

Thanks to the longer chassis, Quezon was able to fit in a more sophisticated drivetrain to coincide with it’s move upmarket, and the top trims were now equipped with a twin-cam Quezon V6 shared with the Laguna. Unlike previous versions of the Quezon V6, forced induction was no longer an option, and instead the engine recieved an update in the form of more displacement and refined cylinder heads.

Quezon’s top-of-the-line trim for the Cordova, the GT, featured a 3.5-litre V6 shared with the Laguna, mounted transversally and connected to a 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The engine created an astonishing 350 horsepower and had a redline over 7500 RPM. lesser trims just had a quezon inline 4 with like 3 horsepower… Other amenities included a non-touchscreen satellite navigation system, and plush seats because mfs cracc their backs idk what to type hELP

The first iteration of the torque-vectoring 4-DRIVE system, developed by a German company, was introduced in the Cordova GT. It was partially based on the four-wheel-drive system utilized in the previous generation Cordova which propelled the car to world rally fame. The system allows torque to be continuously distributed between front and rear wheels from 70% front/30% rear to 30% front/70% rear, with up to 100% of the rear power being distributed to the outer left or right wheel to assist in cornering and dramatically reducing understeer. For example, in straight-line, full-throttle acceleration, the Cordova is capable of distributing 40% of torque to the rear wheels and 60% to the front wheels. In a hard turn, up to 100% of the rear wheel power can be distributed to the single, outer rear wheel. This action will push the rear around the corner, reducing understeer and keeping the car balanced and controlled. The effect can be likened to steering in a row boat where applying more power to one oar can turn the boat. As previously described, 4-DRIVE can vary torque side to side through the rear wheels. This ability to drive one of the rear wheels with more power is accomplished through overdriving the rear wheels with respect to the front wheels. The Cordova is designed with a third planetary gear set and clutch pack that are packaged into a so-called “Acceleration Device”, which is bolted in front of the rear differential unit. The Acceleration Device allows torque to be passed to the rear wheels at a near one to one ratio, but in cornering situations, the Acceleration Device variably increases the torque passed to the rear up to 5%, depending on the cornering situation. The Acceleration Device also allows the rear wheels to be variably overdriven with respect to the speed of the front wheels up to 5.7%. The Acceleration Device in the Cordova is positioned in front of the rear differential. During normal steady state driving, the Acceleration Device input shaft (from the engine) and output shaft (to the rear differential) spin at almost equal speeds. In a cornering situation, the output shaft spins up to 5.7% faster than the input shaft, effectively speeding up the rear wheels. The electromagnetic clutch packs, based on sensor inputs, will vary the torque sent to the rear differential from side to side providing constant and dynamic balancing of the car handling characteristics.

4-DRIVE also differs in function from other popular all-wheel drive systems, like Suisei’s popular SAAS-4W. For example, when it comes to torque distribution, 4-DRIVE is front-biased, but Suisei’s SAAS-4W is rear-biased.

4-DRIVE technology is deeply integrated with other systems and sensors implemented in Quezon vehicles including:

3 or 4 channel (model dependent) Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
4 channel Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Throttle control system
Yaw Angle Sensor
Speed sensor
Steering Angle sensor
Lateral G-Force sensor

These systems and sensors all work together to enhance vehicle handling, and safety.

As usual, Mara’s performance division AMM prepared a high-performance version of Mara’s big sedan, the Kavaler, also for its third generation.

The engine was the new 4.6 litre Strybok (‘leap’) V8, making 330 horsepower in the AMM factory tune, giving a 0-100 kph time of 5.2 seconds.

Voncil Boattail

Details

In the mid 00s, ultra luxury brands were in a resurgence. Rolls-Royce and Bentley, under the stewardship of their new German owners, released their first all-new vehicles in decades, and Mercedes-Benz was hot on their heels with the re-introduction of the Maybach brand. TURBOL, always eager to compete in the same space as the premium German big three, also had an ultra-luxury marque revival in the works, Voncil.

Voncil had produced wold-class, ultra-luxury machines in the 1920s and 1930s, but the name was last seen in the 1960s adorned upon an executive limousine from Cabirou, stuck in the history books since.

To launch the new marque, the first offering would be a full-size luxury grand tourer, known simply as the Boattail. Styling details like the large, V-shaped grill and boattail shape call back to Voncil’s 1930s glory days, while the sweeping fenderline and short front overhang were reminiscent of the separate fenders and running boards of the era. But the design could hardly be called retro, with a sharp, modern, creased and sculpted shape. While a more conventional mega-sedan would follow shortly, and was expected to be the real seller, this 213" long mega coupe was intended to make a splash, attracting the world’s richest and most famous clientele to bolster the new brand’s image.
