It’s clearly in the brief that too high of a SVC won’t work, though…
Exactly, this is a fair compromise. Besides, if you need to go faster than 186 mph to escape reality, you’ll need more than a midlife crisis car. You need a space ship.

THE NEW VAUGHN SILVERBIRD L-TYPE
Tight like a bowtie. Fast like a wild horse. We know why our challengers are trying to dodge the threat from us.
Vaughn Silverbird L-type. A car so american that it smells like a supersized triple cheeseburger with we-refuse-to-mention-that-country fries and a gallon of coke. Not like some wimpy spaghetti or leftovers from yesterday seasoned with government bailout.
They say money can’t buy happiness. But money created capitalism, capitalism created the Vaughn Silverbird, and without a Vaughn Silverbird you won’t be happy, just face it.
580 HP OF GENUINE PUSHROD GLACIER-MELTING PURE MURICAN POWER! VAUGHN SILVERBIRD L-TYPE. LOUDER THAN YOU AND THAT SPEAKS FOR SOMETHING!

[Literally me when starting this challenge]
“Wow, I’d love to make a great high-end sports car, just like the kind Kieth’s always loved! There are so many possibilities, I don’t know what to do! All I do know is that I don’t want to make resemble his old SAETA, because targeting his nostalgia is too easy and boring a strategy…”
[One Car Design Later]
So anyway, here’s my Spanish, RWD, 2-seater, yellow Sports car! …oh. Whoops.
The 2013 Tartesso Choete
I swear, it’s mostly different mechanically.

2013 Mara Paragon 4.0 SK42
The Paragon was Mara’s attempt at a ‘halo car’ in the mid 2000s after having to play catch up to the rest of the world in terms of car technology for about 15 years after the fall of the Closed Curtain.
LHD model shown because we are too cheap to reshoot for RHD
As the car needed to be many things to many people on many markets, it was available with a wide range of options and combinations:
- with Mara’s 2.0l and 2.3l inline-4 as well as 4.0l V8 engines
- in a 2 seat (42 - fo(u)r-two) and a somewhat more cramped 2+2 (44 - fo(u)r four) seat configuration,
- as a regular coupe and a convertible
- and finally in a more sporty SE and a more comfort-oriented SK tune.
In 2013, as part of the first big facelift, the Paragon received Mara’s all-new DOHC engine line-up.
Rear view
Even though the top regular V8 versions could already achieve speeds beyond 300 kph right from the beginning, there were also those variants that came about once Mara’s performance division AMM got their hands on the Paragon, including the GT racing homologation versions which I hope I will need for some challenges in the future. These variants usually traded comfort for performance, however.

“It’s so beautiful” I bet your saying, or at least what I hope you’re saying…

Because nothing should stop you from making the school run in time, or putting uppity chavs and hedge fund managers in their place.
Yeah, it’s the good old 3.7 but for this all-new 2012 model we sent it to Hogwarts to put some go-fast twirly whirlies on the engine for a 2-6000rpm 600nm torque plateu, as apparently 400hp isn’t enough these days
It has AWD, a bunch of other 3-letter safety equipments and a Zeppelin-grade amount of airbags, so even if you’re enough of a knobhead to crash it on public roads you won’t get that Darwin Award. Good, clean fun for the whole family, all for about 75.400 quid. (5th seat is an 1100£ option)

Appearance of cars is what everyone lives here for, IMHO. And if you are a little short on styling, then no numbers will impress anyone. Perception is what matters in any car. When the design is appropriately shaped by the stuffing, then it becomes clear how to perceive the car, how to drive it, what to praise it for. But this is excusable, I have not been creating either hypercars or cool cars lately, due to the lack of suitable bodies. And vanilla forms do not really want to cover.

Now as you can see, would you miss one of these?
Corvidae Supercell P600
Imagine getting into the car, stepping on the gas pedal, and the turbo in front of you stepping in. 730 of torque is readily available, and as the revs climb, the V10’s roaring song will follow, eventually churning out 600 horsepower, which will make you perfect for city motorways
The engine is so manic, but you can retain your reserve, and the luxury and comfort of the interior will not make you feel any discomfort on a long trip.
After half a lifetime on the go, it’s time to enjoy it all, and we’re always waiting for your choice
