Under the hood you’ll find 5.5 litres of turbocharged V12 magnificence, developing 673.7 of the finest Mauritian horsepowers; ready to send you all the way to 186mph in both style and comfort
Prepared for special order a PMC Friesian with the HX-4 performance drive and suspension package, and the Trans-National “GT” interior package featuring De-Lux cassette with quadraphonic audio, glamor red piped vinyl interior with deep pile carpets, full digital Info-Matics instrumentation, and smokers group.
I tried to make something akin to the example cars, but I am seeing a lot of V12 wall paper cars. Probably getting binned for not costing 100K 1980s dollars, but screw it this feels accurate to the scenario.
Technical question. Since China (and I am assuming your car is Chinese) banned all imports in 1985 to bolster domestic car production (by force), is the Heilong 427 co-engineered with VW, Citroen, Hyundai, Daimler-Chrysler, or Peugeot? I’m getting a Mercedes vibe from the design, so Daimler?
I only ask primarily out of academic curiosity, but is the car is a joint venture a hyphenated name would add excessive length to the title as you asked.
If you decide to come inside, you wont be disappointing by our luxury interior, and the second you put your foot down on the accelerator and hear the 4.3l Twin Turbo V8 roar, you won’t be satisfyed by anything else.
Introducing the 3rd generation Washington Canyon. Now available with a 3.8L V6 engine and a 5.7 Liter V8 engine (V8 model shown in the picture.)
The car is equipped with modern accessories such as a Multiport injection system, an advanced catalytic converter, Cassette player and 4- Speed Automatic gearbox or 5 Speed manual transmission (Automatic model shown in the Picture.)
As the brand is very Hongqi-inspired, it would be assumed to be co-engineered with Chrysler if historical accuracy was adhered to. If not, it kind of just exists in some alternate Chinese Automation realm.
It almost looks like a Chrysler Laser, except a four door model. Unfortunately that distinction makes it look a lot like a K-car. The Laser shipped with a 93HP L4 (standard), and the K-car was a K-car (the car that saved Chrysler, and made Red Greens incidentally).
Amalgamating the name (and using the “Chinese mystery pistols” series from “Forgotten Weapons” [excellent series BTW]) you could expand the engrish name out to something god awful like:
1989 Honghu of the Peoples Chrysler type 88888888 Heilong Peoples model K 427 type 4476.
I find early Chinese communism interesting, I see a lot of “borrowing” ideas from other cultures after the “Great leap forward” and the late 80’s are especially interesting since the USSR fell in 1991, and the lead up made China the last bastion of Communism, and they had to sort it out in a hurry.
Or like you said, we are on a totally different timeline, and none of that happened.
