Hinode Motors Corporation is a multinational automotive manufacturer based in Kitakyushu, Japan. Founded in 1926 as a repair shop, the company eventually began to manufacture parts for other, larger companies. After the Second World War, Hinode began to produce passenger vehicles.
The first-generation Tempest began production in 1968. It was a compact executive sedan sold primarily in the Japanese market, although the car was also exported to the United States, Europe, and other Asian markets. Though the car sold decently in Europe and the United States, the Tempest was a hit in the Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets due to their comfort, reliability, and low service costs.
In 1988, the sixth-generation Hinode Tempest was introduced into the American market. While the Japanese market had a plethora of variations to choose from, customers in the United States had to make do with only three trims: the Grande, the GT, and the GT Turbo. The Grande was the luxury trim. It featured the best that Hinode had to offer, including a standard CD player, ABS, and traction control. The Grande came with only one engine choice: a 3.0L inline six producing 190hp driving power to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic. The GT meanwhile, was the sports trim. It was appointed with slightly less luxuries than the Grande but it was a comfortable place to be nevertheless, even with the lowered and stiffened suspension. The GT also came with the 190hp 3.0L inline 6 from the Grande but was available with a 5-speed manual in addition to the 4-speed automatic. The GT Turbo was just like the GT, but it came with a 2.0L turbocharged inline six producing 215hp. The only transmission available is a 5-speed manual.
In 1990, the Tempest received a facelift. The front bumper and taillights were slightly refreshed, and the climate controls were simplified. The most important change, however, was with the GT Turbo’s engine, which was replaced with a newer and larger 2.5L turbocharged inline six following complaints that the 2.0L engine which, though powerful, was not powerful enough for the American market. Power was increased dramatically to 273hp effectively bringing the Tempest to the upper echelons of the sports sedan market. In 1992 the sixth-generation Tempest was discontinued, being replaced by the seventh-generation Tempest.

I know it’s the last round, but I had a fun idea and I wanted to actually make a brand. Presenting…
All the best cars are named after snakes, and the SUTA is no exception. Suta is a genus of venomous snakes endemic to Australia, with range spread all across the country. The SUTA, meanwhile, is a high-performance track toy, born of the ashes of the World Sports Car Championship. With Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA seemingly bent on the destruction of the largest threat to F1 supremacy, the team opted to seek out its independence - all 756 kilograms of it.
The car is built solely around providing the ultimate driving experience. On the inside, drivers will find a single seat with an integrated six-point harness, a hefty rollcage, a nice dash and speedometer, and… not much more. Every single element of the interior is designed to keep the driver fast or alive, or both. The driver is connected to the road by a 5-speed manual transmission, stiff pushrod suspension and wide, low-profile tyres.
The car was originally intended for Group C endurance - a big externally-sourced engine, no bumper requirements and few light requirements. The team was forced to adapt quickly, adding the mandated 5 MPH bumpers, side indicators and extra lights. The car is powered by a mid-mounted, naturally aspirated, twin-cam i4 displacing just 1.6 litres and weighing in at 95 kilos, not much more than the driver. The team at Ares has tuned it to within an inch of its life, allowing it to put out 136 horsepower - which is impressive when the car only weighs 756 kilograms. The engine has been named the Affinis, a name pulled from the scientific name of another snake. With the base model coming in under 25 thousand dollars, Ares had aimed to sell to the budget-conscious but performance-hungry, both on track and street…
The Ares SUTA is not being accepted as an entry. Meme body and/or exotic car, not allowed in this competition. Resubmission of a different vehicle is allowed.
Ah, a shame. I must’ve overlooked the exotics part, although I suppose it’s fair. Such is life. Probably won’t resubmit, although I do want to say thanks - even though it didn’t end up being legal, this challenge did inspire me to make an actual brand car. Good luck to everyone else!
You could still enter the final round by putting the same engine in a different body (as long as it is not a meme/exotic body) while following these rules:
I think to some extent he wanted to make that specific car
1992 Ryuji Goemon RS Turbo
The Ryuji Goemon first debut in 1970, eccencially being nothing more than a coupe variant of the Chariot sedan with a hotter engine setup. But it’s low cost and easy upgrade potential meant that it soon became a common sight on racetracks throughout the world. For the 1990’s, fans of Ryuji’s sport coupe were in a bit of a surprise when the fourth generation Goemon debut.
1990 Boulder Boundary LE
Through the 1980s, Boulder saw sales of it’s truck-based SUVs increase dramatically, with the vast majority of buyers viewing the vehicles as alternatives to traditional station wagons rather than utilitarian workhorses. With this information in mind, Boulder set about making a new truck that would better cater to their new clientele in this growing segment.
The new truck, called the Boundary, utilizes a version of Boulder’s compact truck chassis, but features modifications intended to make for a better family vehicle. The most major change is a cab-forward design that trades engine bay area for interior space, as compact V6 engines designed for passenger car use elsewhere in the Turból umbrella were deemed sufficient for the Boundary. Unlike the trucks it is loosely based on, the Boundary also includes independent front suspension on both 2wd and 4wd models. The leaf sprung solid rear axle was retained to keep a flat load floor in the rear, and the roof was slightly raised over the rear to further increase interior space. Luxuriously appointed trim levels, such as this LE, have been added to the range; quite a stark change for the traditionally utilitarian Boulder brand.
For fear that this newer, softer Boulder may alienate more traditional Boulder customers, the Boundary was styled in a very conservative, boxy fashion, and available options keep the vehicle quite offroad capable. This example is optioned as such, with 4wd, a manual rear locking differential, skidplates, larger, offroad-oriented tires, and an externally mounted full-size spare.
So if you enter one in a demo derby, does it become Boulder dash then?
For the US market, many standard modifications were made to comply with the regulations, and a more optimized marketing campaign suited to US buyers. As a result of market research and surveys, a more powerful sound system and a plush leather interior came as standard with US cars, which helped boost sales.
This vehicle is being rejected as initially submitted due to use of illegal parts. Competitor may edit and resubmit, but must do so before the entry cap fills up.
4 days remaining in the competition, and 4 slots remaining.
Edit: received a legal edit of the car. 3 slots remaining.
Cyanide Motors 1990 Hellhound
As soon as Bernard Cyanide, grandson of Henry Cyanide, became involved with the company’s design department, some could see what was coming, Bernard’s interests displayed quite clearly. And yet nobody stopped him, apparently acknowledging the merit of his ideas. And thus, the Hellhound would come to be. Sold in three engine options, from a 2L turbocharged engine, through 3.6L engine all the way to a 4.8L V8 powering the Z3.
With 365 horsepower the car boasted a 0-100 time of under 6 seconds. The handling wasn’t bad either and it was augmented by systems such as limited-slip differential, ABS and traction control system. Interestingly, the car was speed-limited to 300 km/h for the sole purpose of preventing excessive tire blowouts. Originally intended primarily for Hetvesian, Gasmean and American markets, the car would eventually be sold in other countries as well.

How much coupes and sports cars do we have this time lol
here comes another sports coupe.
The 1989 Matsuma SI-z
Powered by a revvy 1.6l four cylinder the SI-z makes 123bhp@7500rpm. This power is sent through a 5 speed gearbox to the rear wheels. Even with this low amount of power such a lightweight body and balanced weight distribution means the SI-z is a fun well handing car.
The answer is “yes”
