LETARA TRANSPORTATION SHOW [Current year:1990] [OPEN!]

WELCOME TO VAUGHN!

For 1980, Vaughn corporation has no less than three new models to present to the public! Why don’t we start with maybe the finest of them all? The…

WRAITH MONTEZUMA

In 1953, the Wraith Montezuma was the car we were all dreaming of. In 1980, it is still one of the world’s finest personal luxury cars. The downsized platform means better economy, without sacrificing comfort or passenger space. Front wheel drive layout and 4 wheel independent suspension has taken care of that. An all new 4 litre all aluminium V8 is powering it forward. While holding on strong to its old beliefs, one could still say that the future is here now!

WRAITH NEAPOLITAN

How could we possibly improve on the old Neapolitan? By letting the Montezuma lend it its platform, of course! The compact Wraith sedan now shares its underpinnings with one of the most refined luxury cars in the world - now that speaks for something, right? The distinctive and elegant fastback shape means that you won’t confuse it with anything else on the road. So, if you want four doors, but still elegance and refinement on the same level as one of our top notch models, look no further than the Neapolitan!

VAUGHN HIEROPHANT

Not only does Wraith introduce their first front wheel drive cars, even Vaughn has one to show you. The Hierophant has been the choice for a comfortable, durable, economical compact sedan all since its introduction in 1967. The third generation now is switching over to front wheel drive and the durable and economical 4 cylinder from the Vaughn Firebolt - without abandoning what made the old Hierophant such a good car. So why wait until the future with buying the car of tomorrow? Vaughn has it already today!

Popas at the Letata Transportation Show

Welcome to the Popas booth. We have both products for consumers and for the industy displayed for you all. Inside you will find our current lineup which will hit dealerships all around Letara if they haven’t already. Outside we have set up various commercial vehicles. For some of our backroom deal, please show ID to an Popas rep.

Consumer car display

Facelift of the Rushba!

A new decade, a new Rushba. This is over most advanced upgrade of the Rushba to date. Not only was the design adjusted for the new decade and the generel design language of Popas, the engine runs not only more economical, but is also build more robust. Highlight for the facelift is the whole new interior, setting a new standart for Rushbas today, and the ones to come.

---

A new name on Letara’s roads!

With the Cheechi we are bringing Popas Luxury to the masses. Coming in sedan and coupe version both of these cars are meant for people who could afford two Rushbas. Fitted with a 3.6l V8, both of these cars easily reach the 200km/h mark. Both versions come standard with automatic transmissions and an interior which is only overtruimphed by our presidental limosines. For customers who are looking for a more sporty tune, the Coupe comes with a more aggresive tune and a excluisive bodykit.

---

Bring the Sportscar to everyone!

While not yet available in Letara, the Blinsky gets a new bodyform. While the Blinsky before was a conventional coupe, the new Blinsky features a Hatchback design which now houses the 1.6l Boxer 4 cylinder. The engine produces 100hp and revs to 7500rpm. The short wheelbase of just 2.4m will make sure that the handling will be sharp and quick

While not legal to sell in Latara for the moment, we want to make sure the next version will be available to the people of Letara. Otherwise we can provide you a list of Importers.

---

Turbocharged and uncontrolled

This Blinsky was fitted with an experimental Injection and Induction system. Our engieers were able to generate over 170hp with this new setup. To be able to handle the new speed, a new wide fiberglass bodykit was added, and more downforce was added. Only a limited number of cars will be made available to the public

Commercial car display

The new workhorse.

Finally the Popas Osel comes back to Letara. Already roaming the russian roads since 1964, this new version of the truckplattform will hit Letara’s road. Main additions to this new generation are ne much bigger engine, gaining 2 cylinders over the previous 6, and increasing the size to 6L. Furthermore a vast catalog of beds and diffrent rear setups can be ordered right from the factory. So are 3 axles and even 4 axles versions with diffrent versions of flatbeds, box design and other speicalst equipment no problem

---

Time to enforce.

For the goverment Popas made a special trim of the Cheechi. This cheechi is a mix of the sedan and sport version, combining the 4 door bodystyle with the enginetune of the sport one. Also a lot of costsaving and performance enhancing features where added. So that this version comes with an cheaper more rugged interior and a upgraded 5 speed manual takes place instead of the 4 speed automatic

---

Figthing a diffrent fight

Popas is also introducing new speical versions of the Osel and Buhanka. Both of these being made for the Letara firefighters. The Buhanka was build to hold onboard water and extra equipment whie the Osel received a fully operateable ladder.

---

Move the world

The D-1000 is Popas newest train. The two part locomotive features two 8l turbocharged inline engines, pushing the combined output to over 4000hp. The engine were specificlly designed to take multiple times of fuel, from common fuels to Avgas.

Backrooms

Okay listen. Its no secret that sometimes running a country can be hard. And we know how to make that easier.

If you want, we can build your secrect services a special version of the Rushba. On the outside it looks like and other Rushba, but on the inside we manged to cramp in the V8 from the Cheeci, giving you 200hp in sheepwool

Also if you have problems with way to quick racers or opposing parties, we can give you the “Speed Enforcment System” in your Cheechi enforcers. Other cars might be quicker than this, but nothing will outrun a 50 cal bullet, trust us, we tested it

[IDK158]

so I can post my cars that didnt make the cut?

[Mikonp7]

Yes. By now, it should be closed. But i will leave it open until Wed.

The Aero Free-Float

About the Free-Float

Aero already has a history of experimenting with and selling amphibious cars, and this is our newest push into the field. The final Free-Float trim will be arriving in Letara in 1980, 2 years after the regular 2nd-Gen Free’s launch; though truth is, an amphibious variant for this Gen’s Free had been in our plans from the very start.

To achieve the amphibiousness of the Free-Float, the undertray has been fully clad and sealed, and the body lightened and re-enforced to prevent leakages. Lower-mounted grills have been removed, and the exhaust outflow was raised higher on the car’s bodywork. A special changeover mechanism allows one to engage the steerable-propellers independently of the wheels, allowing the car to be easily driven right into/out of the water. The vehicle also comes fitted with all necessary navigation lights.

This is understandably the most expensive of the Frees, both to buy and own, but not by as much as you’d think. And the costs certainly justify themselves, since how many other cars on the road can travel over water as well as land? Plus, it doesn’t sacrifice any on-road performance or comfort- if anything, this car has slightly less drag due to all the cladding, and is slightly more comfortable due to the higher-quality waterproof interior materials we used.

So whether you need the all-terrain mobility, are looking for a pleasure cruiser, or just want an unusual toy to show off, come in and check out how the Aero Free-Float can expand our travel horizons!

Disclaimer: Due to its size, the Free is only rated for very small waters, such as canals and small lakes. Consult the manual before entering the water to see if the Free-float can handle it, and never take the vehicle onto large seas or choppy/stormy waters.

Swanson 2000 Concept

A vision of the car of the future; high performance, low emissions, spacious in style.

Powered by a 450 hp, turbocharged 3,7L Boxer 6, it is capable of 300 km/h and 0-100 in less than 4 seconds.

OOC: Old shots from 4.24. Also, gentle reminder that Y2K is more than 20 years ago

[abg7]

As an '80s vision of a performance car from 2000, this concept fits the brief well - and deserves a remake for 4.27.

[Skygel14]

This model is very cute!
A question about the format of the post, how do you do it to place colored backgrounds? thank you!

[GetWrekt01]

You can right click > inspect element over anyone’s post to steal have a look at their formatting. You’ll have to figure out the hierarchy of the div classes yourself but it’s pretty easy because it highlights the elements visually based on where on the code your cursor is hovering over. Cheers.

PS:

Copy options like copy as outerHTML should let you copy the entire thing from whatever div class you’re highlighting.

My God this information is worth gold! Thank you very much partner!

[Edsel]

If the other person has edited their post since making it, an alternative solution is to click on their edit log in the top right, then select “Raw” instead of “HTML.” Shows you exactly what the other person entered into the text box, with no hierarchy to sort through.

[GetWrekt01]

Awh yea, forgot about this but this used to be the way I did it before inspect HTML lol

[Mikonp7]

And thats the show!

We thank every manufactourer who showed up! We all welcome you again next time! A small report from the press will be posted here

PRIMUS GLOBUS 1990

Welcome back! We happily invite you to try out our newest products. After many new improvements for 1989, 1990 is no less!
The Primus Advance - called “propably the best compact car of our times” in the 1984 supertest by abg7 is now ready for a facelift. With new, even more aerodynamic look, new engines and some minor interior changes, it is better than ever.
The new Advance offers a wide spread of gasoline engines from 66 to 130 horsepower and the trim levels CL, GL, GLX and GTI. Shown is a GTI-16 with 130 horsepower in the color “FIRE!”.

Next to it you see a new addition to the Astrona program. Facelifted last year, the Astrona 180, 200, 230D and Turbo AWD defended the crown in the midsize segment. But many of our older loyal customers missed the old 180 with less power. The Astrona 160 adds a new entry-level model. With 92 horsepower, it is not a low-performer, even with the automatic transmission. The Astrona 160 GL Automatic as shown here costs only $ 11.800. The 160 is available as GL and GLX, while the 250 tds comes as GLX or GLS model. TDS? Yes. Imagine a car doing the sprint to 100 kph in only 8,5 seconds, running up to 240 kph while burining only 7,1 liter Diesel. The Astrona 250tds is the first Diesel car that actually makes fun for a sporty driver´s nature. The 140 horsepower car - a 1989 1/2 model - is already on sale for a few months in Frunia and Hetvesia, and maybe the government greenlights Diesel cars? Who knows.

Globus has no less to offer. The new Bravura merges the models Intruder and Bravura to a spacious five-door sedan. Yes, you read right: It looks like an elegant sedan, but has a giant hatch to store even large items. If you prefer the sporty two-door, it is available for the LT trim. The best value for money? This is what Globus is known for. Letaran price lists are not ready right now, but expect it to be noticeably below $ 10.000 for the base LE model - a lot less than the competition without sacrificing quality. The Bravura is available as two-door and five-door with four-cylinders either delivering 92, 105 or 130 horsepower in the trims LE, LS and LT. The green car shown here is a Bravura LS, the mid-trim model.

The Stallion returns in new shape, it may look similar to the Bravura LT two-door, but it adds the following you can´t get for a Bravura:

• no-cost two tone paint option
• touring suspension
• 160 horsepower DOHC 16V engine
• digital gauges
• premium leather interior and sound system with carbon-styled decor elements
• limited slip differential.

Race on sunday, work on monday? You do not need two seperate cars for that.

Globus lets also stand up a legend again! The Grand Cruiser returns after 10 years of absence, and it incorporates the Gasmean Dream! It is a large car! It comes with V8 engines only! It is spacious and comfortable! And it is cheap - $16.400 for the LS base model. With aerodynamic shape and modern technology, the Grand Cruiser is faster and more economical than you might think. The Leratan market that rather demands for nimble cars might not be the ideal environment for the Grand Cruiser, but your PRIMUS GLOBUS dealer sells you one on special delivery, if you want.

Last but not least a little preview: We all still remember the open mouth our visitors had when seeing the 1980 Imperator and all its ground-breaking features.
The 3rd gen Imperator is showcased in Letara for the first time! Since this is still a prototype, and the car could not be ordered until January 1991, we will neither provide the specifications nor open the car for the public. But we might inspire you to think twice if you should buy a competitor right now or the new Primus luxury next year. Take a look through the windows and decide!

Given that the next round of LHC spans the time period from 1985-1995, it makes sense that the second LTS takes place in 1990, to tie in with the LHC, even though LHC5 is a few months away.

[Happyhungryhippo]

@cake_ape is this somehow still relevant for current LHC?

[Mikonp7]

Yesish.

I was waiting on the round opening up

[Knugcab]

So, is this going to start up soon then?

[ketchup66]

5 Months any only you responded? woah im gonna make one

[Mikonp7]

The Road Offtrack

Letara features so many more roads then your daily commute. With many roads running past the overbuild highways and through the great nature of Latara. Why not even take the even more direct route and travel the roads others dont dare to touch. Not for you? Why not take a deep dive into the motorsport scene? Many clubs are here to inform over the next big thing. From local rallies, to the top of GT-Endurance racing.

With that we welcome everyone to the 1990 show!
