There is only one word I could use to describe the Z - X: Sensational.
That is basically 1990s levels of power output… in 1950. But with that engine installed in something as light and agile as the GP6-4L-50, its performance would have been otherworldly for its time.

The ARD16 (Arion Research & Development 16-Cylinder) is Arion’s first in-house built Formula 1 car, with an aluminium body and steel space frame chassis weighing in at 903.4kg paired to an impressive 4.5 litre V16 boasting 662.7hp @ 9200rpm naturally aspirated it made for an insane race car.
With no traction aids what-so-ever, this machine is only capable in the hands of the most talented racing drivers.

Featuring a peaky 545hp Twin Turbocharged 5 litre V8 able to reach 209mph and a 0-62 time of only 4.8s whilst weighing in excess of 2 tons (1997.2kg) the Shoebill 545TI is the ideal super saloon.
Sporting tasteful carbon fibre accents all over, a highly advanced air suspension system and a lightened but still plush with creature comforts interior what’s not to like?

Arion’s late model Polaris was completely gutted down to the bare minimums, with a partial carbon-fibre tubular chassis and almost all the exterior panels being carbon fibre, the weight was brought down to an impressive 972.9kg.
The RWD Turbo Diesel 3 litre Inline 6 produces 370hp helping it achieve a 0-62 time of 3.1s and given enough room on tarmac, it’s estimated to be able to go 195mph, but the Polaris DKR wasn’t used on-road it was intent on winning the Dakar rally from 2020 onwards.

Introduced in late 2020, the Cassiopeia RS is Arion’s ultimate hypercar.
Powered by a 6 litre naturally aspirated V16 with 855.7hp @ 8900rpm aided up to over 1100hp with 250hp radial electromagnetic hybrid motors mounted to the front wheels paired to an extremely lightweight carbon fibre monocoque and body weighing in at only at 1259kg it could achieve 0-62mph in 2.9s and an eye-watering 290mph top speed.
The Cassiopeia RS utilises active aero and electromagnetic suspension giving it incredible braking and handling characteristics. Through the switch of a button the suspension can be changed from road-mode to RS-mode which lowers the height, adds optimal spring rates for the true racing experience.

NORDSCHLEIFE
That was how long it took for the Splash-built Rinkai Magari time attack car to lap the storied Nürburgring Nordschleife. The car in question, designed, assembled, and tuned by Mizuiro’s Splash tuning division, is a silhouette car based on the original Rinkai Magari, a kei roadster from the late 1990s that takes its name from the Japanese word “曲がり” (which translates into “curve” or “bend”).
A custom-made turbocharged 2.4-litre inline-six and all-wheel drive add to the uniquely Japanese flavour of speed that many of the Magari’s non-kei contemporaries were endowed with. Of course, any competent time attack car can’t go without at least some attention paid to cornering performance, so Splash used a mostly-carbon construction combined with extreme aero devices and a wider track.
The resulting machine became a symbol of pride for Splash when despite understeer-inducing suspension issues, Hatzenbach Racing driver Bruno Aguette soldiered on to achieve a Nordschleife time rivalled by few others.
GOODWOOD
Over the following two decades, Splash would begin tuning Mizuiro’s turbocharged cars before manufacturing turbo kits of its own, as well as tending to other areas such as weight reduction and the ability to switch engine tunes on the fly. Their second full tuning package came in the form of a Mizuiro Hanabi with a longitudinal rear-wheel drive setup, limited to 250 examples. By 2005, Splash’s experience with and predilection for Rinkais and Mizuiros earned it a position as a first-party Mizuiro tuner; this status was promptly put to use with a run of 50 factory-modified Kasui hybrid sedans, some of which were sold outside of Japan. For Mizuiro, Splash served not only as an aftermarket brand, but also as a means of marketing themselves towards car enthusiasts in a more accessible manner. What was originally a comparatively mild tuning company had, by the mid-2010s, become a dedicated performance and motorsports division.
With a small but dedicated team of seasoned engineers and technicians, Splash is now Mizuiro’s way of showing the world what the company has to offer in terms of performance, with the Goodwood Festival of Speed in particular providing a golden opportunity to showcase what Masugata describes as his team’s magnum opus.

A waterfall is an area where water flows over a vertical drop or a series of steep drops in the course of a stream or river. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf. Because of their landscape position, many waterfalls occur over bedrock fed by little contributing area, so they may be ephemeral and flow only during rainstorms or significant snowmelt. The further downstream, the more perennial a waterfall can be. Waterfalls can have a Wide range of widths and depths. When the river courses over resistant bedrock, erosion happens slowly and is dominated by impacts of water-borne sediment on the rock, while downstream the erosion occurs more rapidly. As the watercourse increases its velocity at the edge of the waterfall, it may pluck material from the riverbed, if the bed is fractured or otherwise more erodible. Hydraulic jets and hydraulic jumps at the toe of a falls can generate large forces to erode the bed, especially when forces are amplified by water-borne sediment. Horseshoe-shaped falls focus the erosion to a central point, also enhancing riverbed change below a waterfalls.
Amogus
A stream is a body of water with surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel. The flow of a stream is controlled by three inputs – surface water, subsurface water and groundwater. The surface and subsurface water are highly variable between periods of rainfall. Groundwater, on the other hand, has a relatively constant input and is controlled more by long-term patterns of precipitation. The stream encompasses surface, subsurface and groundwater fluxes that respond to geological, geomorphological, hydrological and biotic controls.
Depending on its location or certain characteristics, a stream may be referred to by a variety of local or regional names. Long large streams are usually called rivers.
Streams are important as conduits in the water cycle, instruments in groundwater recharge, and corridors for fish and wildlife migration. The biological habitat in the immediate vicinity of a stream is called a riparian zone. Given the status of the ongoing Holocene extinction, streams play an important corridor role in connecting fragmented habitats and thus in conserving biodiversity. The study of streams and waterways in general is known as surface hydrology and is a core element of environmental geography.

Goodwood 2021 - What if we tried to take an ordinary sedan to the test? feat. Hinata Celesta 1600GS Turbo
Carol Lee (@Carol_Lee), 10th July 2021
Disclaimer: The event is NOT sponsored by Hinata Motor Corp.
Ah. Goodwood. The yearly event for classic racecars, modern racecars, supercars, and everything in between. This is the event where they all gather together, and test out which is the fastest to finish the whole course.
To bring some fun to the usually serious event, we’re not going to bring a race car, a supercar or even something sporty. That’s right, we’re doing an “experiment” where we are going to test normal vehicles to check how fast it could go to the iconic hillclimb sprint. Obviously, it can’t beat any Tristella, Gyphon Gear, or all the high-performance legends on the track, but will this random sedan could take the challenge?
Picture taken while the car is still on Malaysia.
And, this time, what we are bringing? That’s right, the latest (as in model year 2020) Hinata Celeste sedan we bought as a test car this May. If anyone isn’t well versed with Hinata’s most popular midsize sedan, the Celeste has already existed since the early 1960s as a larger, more luxurious alternative to the Aurora compact. The current generation was released in 2018, and a facelifted model has just launched this year, although its not coming yet to Malaysia as of right now. So, the pre-facelift version will do, I guess. Hope Han Seng Hinata (distributor of Hinata vehicles in Malaysia) quickly launch the facelifted version as soon as possible.
Inside the bonnet, is an all-new 1.6 liter turbocharged engine which replaced the outgoing 2.5 liter inline-4 (from the last generation) as the top-of-the-line engine option (A 2 liter inline 4 N/A is still available for people on a smaller budget), paired with a 7-speed transmission and a load of kit, which means the car starts from RM 200K (which is like 48K in USD, cars here are very expensive anyway) for the small business owner who doesn’t want a crossover. Despite generating just 10 HP more than the old unit (190 HP), the new unit is more robust, responsive and economical than ever before.
Even with the new engine and a new chassis derived from Hinata’s latest platform, the Celeste has some pretty average performance. Top speed is limited to 180 km/h, and acceleration from standstill to 100 needs 8.82 seconds to achieve. But I’m not expecting much from the Celeste, since its not a track day killer for gods sake. But I will still say that the car feels the part. Despite being not as excellent as, say, a similar car from Kimura or a Seikatsu, but the Hinata Celeste feels the part. It’s beautiful, comfy, roomy, and pretty good for a D-segment, which is a big improvement from the Nagoya-based firm’s last offering.
Enough car talk, back to the track. So, the car obviously had to imported to the United Kingdom before it could join the race. With the help of a mover company, an airplane, and undisclosed amounts of cash, the car safely arrived to the Isles 2 week after the initial plan (of course, at the time of writing the car has yet to be returned). Besides that, some registrations, some files, more driving lessons later and I, alongside with some staff from Drivers.com as well as James Vaughn Jr., one of America’s best sports car drivers, have took a ticket to England.
And Goodwood, here we go. After a night’s stay on a nearby hotel, we went to the venue next day (which is the first day of the event), to watch some laps. The cars that day include classic F1 racers, some modern supercars, some race cars as well as some oddballs including a Dakar Rally racer and a 80s Swedish sedan that caught my eye. Of course, there’s always the sculpture, which in this year is courtesy of Lotus, looks pretty striking on my eye.
After that, we have taken a seat, in a designated area designed for the press, such as Motornation and The Exhaust Note. Besides that, we also checked out the gallery with loads of new vehicles, and some more activity on the other parts of the estate. In the evening Vaughn also took me for some training courses, as well as some talking. The rest of the day happened without any incident, other than the fact that we had a delicious fish and chip dinner on a nearby restaurant.
The next day came, and is the time for our run in the track. Obviously, despite the fact that I have some racing experience last year, I don’t think I ever had racing in a midsize sedan on a track like this. After some briefing, we head to the track, with the car on my hands.
On the track, the only “normal” vehicle in the lineup is ours, as everyone else, including car companies, racing teams, museums, etc. is on a fancier vehicle with better performance. Of course, we’re not expecting much, as I’m happy to finish the course without dying anyway.
And some moments later, its our turn for the sprint. The Celeste’s throttle response in the straights is indeed great, which reminds me of the more driver-oriented Reina than the larger, more comfortable Vista anyway. Sure, it’s not as good as the Reina, but the Celeste is probably good enough for some light track duty…
…if it have gotten a better suspension system. Even with McPherson fronts and a multi-link rear, its not a good car for runs like this. Since we’re getting the GS model sans the HP (Hinata Performance) pack, the ride is pretty soft, wallow, and a clear lack of sharpness. Corners are not it’s strong point, and some roll occurred on some instances of corners.
The steering didn’t really picked up any favors as well. Its way better than some of its competition, but that steering is certainly not sport-car like. Thanks to the tuning, the Celeste’s steering is surprisingly easy to manage, which is a good thing to hear after all those problems in the sprint.
Tyres on the car isn’t all that good, however. The use of economy-oriented hard tyres isn’t helping the car much while getting grip (we actually offered proper race tyres but we rejected it for sake of some experimenting) and in some instances, wheelspin and some slight understeer on out attempt. The car did broke 140 km/h on a straight, but we aren’t really expecting it could go over that either.
And poof, we got to the end of our lap, without anything serious. The car is still intact, and I am now writing the article on a laptop in a hotel room, instead in a hospital. Which means we got lucky anyway.
So, here’s the conclusion for the event. What do we learnt today? Honestly, not really much, other than the fact that I shouldn’t try to risk being shamed on the event. However, its still one hell of a race, and probably the only time we could do something like this in my lifetime. Will I return to Goodwood after this? Sure, but I don’t think with the Hinata Celeste that time.
