Midgård Cars | 2001 Tiburon released - Feedback Welcome

Midgård Cars (shortened: MDGC) was founded in 1950, in Växjö, Sweden. No specific market was picked but the idea was to provide everyone with some high quality Swedish engineering. Midgård Cars produces everything from cheap and uncomfortable point-A-to-point-B cars to high-end luxury sedans.

The 1951 Criado 2.4 was MDGC’s first car and it had a rather deceiving design. Gold diggers would often mistake the Criado for a luxury automobile, because of the design. Many awkward situations arised when gold diggers would get in the car and see the basic, low quality interior and notice the lack of entertainment and power. In other words, the car was good at revealing gold diggers and it had a low price, had low running costs and would get you from point A to point B.

Production years: 1951 – 1954.
Chassis & panels: Steel ladder chassis with steel panels.
Suspension setup: Front MacPherson Strut and solid rear axle w/ leaf springs.

As soon as the Criado was released, MDGC started working on a large, comfortable sedan; a car that offers more than just transportation on demand. The Portador features premium quality interior and a premium quality entertainment system, but luxury grade interior and entertainment is available if you choose the PortadorLX. The car offers a really comfortable ride thanks to the smooth inline 6, interior and suspension tuned for comfort. If you hate the smoothness of the inline 6, you can order a Portador with a 5.4 liter V8. It won’t be as comfortable, but who cares since you now have a V8. To top it all off, the Portador stays classy since it has suicide doors.

Nice designes ,but i think that the engines’s power are too much for 50s.

Thanks. The engines are powerful because they have have the soul of a real Swedish viking.

LOL :slight_smile: Cant wait to see 2014s engines :slight_smile:.

The Portador was a sucessful and comfortable car. In fact, the king of Sweden ordered a handbuilt Portador from Midgård Cars. Soon, more orders came in from oil barons, royal families and dictators. The special version of the Portador, the 1955 Portador Monark, got a hefty dose of prestige and comfort, with the help of a hand crafted interior, luxury entertainment and hand made aluminium panels for the exterior.

Nope, not yet. I’ll try it out later :slight_smile:.

After some deliberation at the office in Växjö, Midgård Cars decided to design a simple and sporty car. It was going to be one of those cheap muslce cars with loads of wheelspin and a loud as hell V8. The Vibora features a standard quality four seat interior but lacks an entertainment system. The eargasmic sound of a V8 should be enough entertainment… But since people would probably want to listen to their stupid rock and roll and blues, costumers could choose to include a premium quality entertainment system.

The Vibora 329, the basic version, uses the 5,4 liter V8 from the 1953 Portador but if you have something to compensate for, we have the Vibora 366 with a 6,0 liter 348 hp V8, which allows you to compensate by ruining your tires with wheelspin.

Our post-release analysis shows that the Vibora was quite bad in terms of performance. Massive wheelspin and a crappy safety rating is nothing to be proud of so we decided to create a new Vibora sometime in the future.

Tires: medium compound road tires (sports compound tires for Vibora 366), 175mm width, 640mm wheel diameter, 15” rims.
Brakes & safety: one piston solid 280mm discs and standard 1940s safety technology.

Wow, look at these cars. HUGE fan of the Vibora and Monark. Love these classic designs. Great work. Wonder, in 2014 how much these cars would cost. I’m sure the CEO of Aeroline would love to add one of both to his collection of cars. So would the lead representative of public relations. :wink: I want 5.4l Vibora pls!

Wow, thanks for the kind words :smiley:.

The Vibora wouldn’t cost more than other cars from the mid 1950s. The Monark on the other hand… Be ready to obliterate your wallet.

If you want the cars and/or engines, I can send them to you. :wink:

The Gobernardor is a subtle luxury car. It doesn’t have design that sticks out, like the 1953 Portador. That shady looking guy with a black market Tokarev pistol couldn’t tell if the guy driving a Gobernardor was an upper class douchebag or a working class person. The Gobernardor was, as said before, a stealthy luxury car. No one would break into it and you wouldn’t get robbed if someone saw you driving one. Despite this, the Gobernardor offered a smooth and comfortable ride and it came with either a premium or luxury grade interior and entertainment system. Don’t drive too fast with this car, since the brakes are pretty shitty.

We assumed that some customers, especially those in the United States of V8, would want a big V8 in the Gobernardor. Therefore, customers could choose the 6.0 liter V8 from the Vibora 366. Enjoy the wheelspin… [size=85]and slightly less comfortable ride…[/size] [size=50]and horrid fuel economy…[/size]

The Criado makes a return! The second generation Criado 2.4 comes with some improvements and once again, with deceiving design. Because of the improvements, the price of the car was slightly increased. Besides a better engine and coil springs instead of the shitty leaf springs, costumers could now choose a premium interior and an up to 1960s standards entertainment system. For those wanting the true Criado experience, the base version only comes with a hideous looking basic interior and no entertainment. Advanced 1960s safety features are included throughout the range to make the car safer.

That’s some awesome chrome work on the Criado.

Thanks :smiley:

The second generation Portador features a more refined engine, better brakes, advanced safety features and better sound insulation. This luxury cruiser WILL attract attention so don’t drive around in the shady parts of town with it and this time, if you have shitloads of money, you can get the Portador with a hand made interior. We hired the people who made the interior for the the 1955 Portador Monark so you can brag about having an interior suited for royal families and dictators. This time, we have no V8 version and power steering is standard equipment throughout the range.

Man, that Portador is EPIC! Great job, keep it up! :slight_smile:

Thanks, I’ll do my best :slight_smile:

Remember that we said we’d build a new Vibora? Well, here it is. The 1965 Vibora has been improved in all ways possible to make it more sporty. Better performance, various choices regarding the interior and better fuel economy. We also put some extra research into the tires (only available for Vibora 366 w/ SS package) for the Vibora 366 since this version had a 6.0 liter V8 with 374 hp. Standard issue skinny 1960s tires wouldn’t suffice for that amount of power so it got wide tires (235/245mm)with 15’’ rims. The 1965 Vibora is the car that Thor would drive! And because we’re a Swedish car company, we made sure to include advanced 1960s safety technology as standard equipment throughout the range.

The car comes with a four seat standard interior and a standard 1960s entertainment system. One could also choose a premium interior, a premium entertainmnet system and a three speed auto gearbox (if dont’ have the balls to drive the Vibora with a manual gearbox). A five speed manual is standard equipment with the 6.0 liter V8 but it is available as an option for the 5.4 liter engine as well.
