Zephorus Stelvio R

for Return/Revival/Revolution

---

The Stelvio name rises again after slumbering since the late 80’s. This particular example has the chassis from a 1978 Zephorus Stelvio, one of the first generations from the performance brands true drivers supercar. The Zephorus Grimsel Engine slots right into the middle of the car, mounted longitudinally rather than transversely as the original stelvio was over 40 years ago.

Coming with that engine is the AWD System, now able to toggle between rear wheel drive and all wheel when needed. However what the engine is lacking is the twin turbos it came with originally, down from 1000hp to “only” 620hp from the N/A 5.0L V10.

What it also lacks is the DCT Gearbox, instead opting for a much more driver experience oriented 7 speed manual. Other driver oriented features include active suspension with modes for every driving style.

The Original Stelvio was a masterpiece among many, adorning bedroom walls around the world, it came 3rd in Performance Car of the year EOTY Awards and rather infamously was disqualified from the Letaran Rallycross Series in 1978 (and subsequent events) for supposedly cheating with the driver assists. fml

So what do you get for an eyewatering $133,000 compared to the original?

0-60 is dispatched in 3.1s down from 5.3s
Top speed is 201mph, up from 160mph
Cornering Gs are 1.14 compared to 0.93

The style and the prestige though, is unchanged from the original.

Timeless supercars can only ever be just that.

Can we ignore the interior clipping thanks

These cars are not a real product of any manufacturer, any likeness or other similarities to real brands is purely coincidence. Actual model may change in final submission.

Albedo Classics’ Kotatsu Ninfa
“Shooting Star”

---

1967 Kotatsu Ninfa

The Kotatsu Ninfa wasn’t some superhero in posters on bedroom walls, or some athlete that ran in circuits. It was more like the cool uncle with too much hobbies, and just so happens to lives in your driveway.

It’s quite picky about its drivers, with the sketchy handling and all. That doesn’t stop it from being a superstar, though; its comfortable and spacious cabin, as well as decent figure of power made it quite popular with young drivers at the time. And its looks… well, it’s starred in at least one show AND one movie per year, sometimes even as lead roles. Need I say more?

There’s another thing that makes it popular with stuntmen, filmmakers and the like, though: it can take quite a beating. This was the case for both the powerful V8 variant… and the underrated lower variant with a straight-six. This unfortunately made it popular among criminals, from bootleggers to bank robbers. Especially the straight-six, due to its quiet engine and manageable handling; even 190 horsepowers from it could shake the law enforcement if you’re good enough.

Unfortunately, due to the oil crisis, production of the V8 variant had to be halted in 1971, and the straight-six not long after due to its notoriety. While it would still be around for some more decades in Japan, its origin country, the spare parts stopped production everywhere else. So they sit, rusting, withering in garages or in the junkyard, waiting for demolition.

The Shooting Star

“And so was the tale… of the Ninfa.”

Old man Anthony closed his story, as his mechanic apprentice Adrian marveled before the sight of one of the six-cylinder Ninfa, tucked away in the warehouse of MysteryWorks’ workshop. Both were appointed as members of the newly established Albedo Classics, a subsidiary of MysteryWorks dedicated to preserving, restoring, and modifying really old cars, and the Ninfa would be their first subject. The story itself was an introduction to why their job is important: to keep cars with heritage like this in the minds of many.

Unfortunately for them, the resident rats made the original engine their home, so Anthony had to get rid of it and replace it with the closest modern equivalent: a naturally aspirated, 3-liter straight-six from a base Kotatsu Margo, sold by a customer after swapping it out. With a few tweaks and parts swapping, its power output was boosted to just above 300 horsepowers. In the meantime, Adrian, who was afraid of rats, reconstructed the four-corner independent suspensions and a new six-speed manual drivetrain. Put together, the restored classic is shaping up to be quite the playful machine. One problem, though: they underestimated how playful it was. So, they installed ABS modules and programmed some form of traction control to dampen its attitude to a manageable level by modern standards (this can still be toggled off).

A ducktail wing and a front splitter was installed to stabilize it during highway runs. Other visual changes were done to modernize its looks: painted bumpers with chrome accents, new side skirts, star-shaped wheels, and running lights on all four corners. The result? A 1.1-tons, 300-horsepowers, rear-wheel-driven old stallion. Not the fastest or the lightest, but designed to give an enhanced feel of the classic sports car. “Shooting Star,” they named it, after the famous scene from an old show where it dodged its pursuers under the starry sky. Along the sides and across the hood are gold linear decals on its blue paint, resembling trails of shooting stars in the sky.

They didn’t seem to do much to the original-looking interior, save for installing bucket seats and race seatbelts, installing dual airbags, replacing the withered leather, installing modern-day sound system behind the classic interface (with Bluetooth!), adding a CD player inside the glovebox… and adding a wireless charger on the center console as well as USB charging ports inside the center compartment. Because modern.

TVC Satrack Remix
A limited production batch will be produced to commemorate the 46 year anniversary of the original TVC Satrack. This car mixes the old with the new. Staying true to its rally heritage, this car has a modern 6 speed gearbox with paddle shifters and an automatic clutch. The chassis has been designed out of reinforced steel for extra rigidity. Body panels are fabricated from fiberglass composite to lower the center of gravity. A custom lightweight magnesium boxer engine has been tuned to produce a little over 430hp. Other upgrades such as carbon ceramic brakes, and factory track suspension allow the car to corner without slowing considerably. Underneath the body, steel plates have been welded to create a flat aerodynamic clad undertray. Weight has been shifted to distribute evenly against the front and rear. ESC and driver aids enable improved control from the original 1978 model. Take this car to a race track or windy road, you will have a great time.

Specs:
Engine:
3.7L Boxer 6 Cylinder Turbo
433hp @6400rpm

6 Speed Auto Manual
AWD

Performance:
0-60mph - 3.2s

Lol I just realized the original Ninfa used to live at Gumball’s house.

[happyfireballman]

I got a question regarding lore, for Stefan, would he be able to know about designer brands similar to Chrome Hearts, Hermes, Off-White, Versace, etc? Giving that we’re providing the lore about the clothing brand.

Examples:

Chrome Hearts RX7:

Off-White G-Wagon:

Versace & Lamborghini:

Hermes & Bugatti:

[Xepy]

Whatever you provide will be what Stefan knows about it, so I recommend to not make any assumptions about the character. I’m keeping it open so that there’s little bias from what I personally know of a brand vs. the character in universe knows.

[ErenWithPizza]

Could be just that I missed it, but are race parts allowed?

[Xepy]

For engine parts you are allowed as long as it fits with the rest of the rules. No race tires however.

ATS Settings: Within reason. Ask if you need to!

It’s been a while…

What’s ATS?

Here’s the donor car - Shitbox Rally 2023 - Stage 14 (FINISHED!) - #87 by IDK158

[GassTiresandOil]

ATS is advanced trim settings. If you haven’t picked up the game in a while there’s a button with a gear on it off to the left. I believe it’s on the fixtures tab.

If you’ve already played with them I’m sorry for the redundancy
