1984 Wolfram Wolfhound
Yay, another retcon of prior lore!
Inspired by the 1974 WLF-6 concept car, the 1984 Wolfhound was a clear sign that Wolfram had weathered the storm of the oil crisis, and was ready to re-establish itself as one of the world’s premier performance car manufacturers. Its 3.6L all-alloy MPEFI I6 delivered 300 bhp to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox and geared LSD, while staggered high-performance tires wrapped around 16-inch magnesium wheels generated immense grip. 4-wheel disc brakes with standard ABS helped bleed off excess speed, while dual wishbone suspension at each corner provided world-class handling with a modicum of comfort.
The Wolfhound also had a premium interior and stereo (the latter of which incorporated a cassette tape player as standard). Yet despite being built on a (corrosion-resistant) steel monocoque chassis, strategically placed aluminum panels (for the doors and trunk lid) kept its weight under 1,200 kg; combined with its powerhouse I6, the Wolfhound could reach 60 mph from a standstill in under six seconds and top out at over 160 mph. Most amazingly of all, the Wolfhound had a base price of just $28,000 in 1984, which kept it under the $30k luxury tax threshold.
