Mercy Motor Group

This is a forum for Mercy Motor Group. An Umbrella brand that owns Mercy Motors (Performance), Castillo Automotive (Luxury), and Vista Motors (Budget).

Founded in 1934, Mercy began making parts for tanks and planes for the second world war. When the war had ended, Mercy used the leftover parts to make the 1945 Mercy A-15. It sold well and to commemorate the first Apollo launch, Mercy renamed the A-15 to the Mercy Apollo, which was sold as a Wagon primarily until the Vendetta sedan was introduced in 1965. They both share a chassis to this day, and the Vendetta and Apollo are our flagships. In 1973, Mercy noticed a shift to luxury cars, and thus Castillo Automotive was born. And then, in 1980, after the oil crisis had passed, the market shifted again, this time to cheaper more fuel-efficient cars. Mercy capitalized on this and introduced Vista Motors, with the first model being the Aspect, a compact sedan that shares a chassis with the Mercy swift of the same year.

In 1965, we launched Road And Track Technology, or R.A.T.T for short. R.A.T.T is our performance sub brand that creates monsters of the road and track. We then unveiled an absolute beast of a tune designated the Specialized Circuit American Racing, or S.C.A.R. However, both are primarily for V8s and some V6s. So, to help distinguish between our track monsters and more manageable performance cars, we launched Mercy Club. Club cars are for those who can’t or don’t want the extreme performance of our RATT cars.

This year, for 2025, Mercy Celebrates 80 years of Mercy and 60 years of RATT, and we can’t wait to honor this moment with our drivers. Introducing the all new 2025 Mercy Vendetta R.A.T.T. The car that will always stay true to our early roots of making fast and perfect cars.

“Word on the road is that most SUVs these days borrow from other cars. That means they’re all the same! Mercy was never one to blend in, which is why we went all out with the 2012 Origin Club. Finally, a SUV that’s original.” - Advert for the 2012 Mercy Origin Club

Boasts a V6 rated at 300 horsepower to all four wheels and a sport tuned suspension that is adjustable with 4 piston brembo brakes.
