A luxury car with an inline 4? Is it even possible in 1966? Are we insane? Yes, yes and maybe… The 1966 Mundo is a comfortable two seat cruiser that doesn’t drink much fuel and doesn’t cost much to maintain. The base version has premium interior and entertainment, but you can get the DeLuxe version with luxury interior and entertainment. It’s also pretty easy to drive thanks to the automatic gearbox and power steering.
This sure is one of the most beeeaaauuutiful cars I’ve ever seen on the forums. And I’ve seen plenty of it. Very well done sir.
Though, I’m not sure if this car is appropriate for the luxury market. It seems a bit schmall for a luxury sedan, and not simple enough for a small sports car.
I like the idea of a small premium car with an i4, but let’s face it : you won’t change the world if they won’t buy it.
This engine makes wonders though. Try it in a budget sports car and you will anticipate the Escort. Or else you could make an i6 out of it and fit it in the Mundo.

Anyway, it’s pretty and it’s all that matters. [/quote]
Wow, many thanks for the kind words and feedback
It’s not a luxury car in the sense that it will compete against full size sedans. It’s, like you said, some sort of premium small car, made for those who don’t want to shell out thousands of dollars for a thirsty full size sedan; for those that want a small car that is enjoyable and easy to drive. It’s quite the opposite of our previous small, cheap point-A-to-point-B cars (the Criado). The Mundo is a pleasent car to be in, unlike the Criado, which makes a Gulag seem like a five star hotel.
Putting a powerful engine in this car body would ruin the tires. Can’t fit larger tires on it, so we used that inline 4.
The 1969 Locura is a different kind of Midgård Cars muscle car. The first thing that you might ask yourself is… WHERE THE F#%K ARE THE EXCESSIVE CHROME DETAILS??? Calm your tits, we changed our muslce car concept only for the Locura. The Vibora series will always have chrome details. Another good question is… WHERE’S THE F#&%ING 6 LITER V8? WHY THE F#%K IS THERE AN INLINE 6!!! The inline 6 design has loads of potential so we’ve created a sportier inline 6 and the 5.4 liter V8 produces almost the same amount of power as the big 6 liter so there’s almost no difference in performance. The Locura is also our first car to use a full double wishbone suspension setup. Double wishbone on a muslce car? Yes, screw solid rear axles!!
So to conclude it all, only the 5.4 liter V8, an inline 6 instead of a 6 liter V8 and double wishbone suspension. Standard four seat interior with a standard entertainment system is included in the price, but premium interior & entertainment is available.
Hey there YugoSpy…I gotta say, I thought your Petokraka(?) cars were pretty decent themselves, but these are even better; heck, they look rather well like they could have been taken from real life!
The third generation Portador brings better brakes (ABS!!), an up to date design and the same level of comfor that Portador owners are used to. Even though its the 70s, we kept the chrome details so that everyone will know that car was made by Midgård Cars and the body work of the car got a boxy 70s look. The third generation Portador offers a three speed auto gearbox if you think that changing gears manually is a pain in the ass and ABS and power steering is available throughout the range.
As usual, we offer a hand made interior for the top-tier trim, the Portador Rey. To top it all off, the third gen Portador offers superb sound insulation throughout the range so you won’t hear anything inside of the car (you can’t sue us if you fall asleep while driving the Portador).
I do have a suitable V8 for it but the Portador is meant to be a luxurious cruiser and the inline 6 offers the smoothness needed for luxury cars. Midgård Cars doesn’t have a performance division like Mercedes with AMG. Yet…
But if you or someone else wants to modify my cars or just want one of my engines, just send a PM and I’ll gladly send over the files. After market modding has been a thing for quite a while.
The third generation Criado brings a lot of changes and it has so much chrome that your local pimp will be jealous. Once again, the starting price of the basic Criado was increased because if the improvements. Road compound tires, ABS brakes and a galvanized steel chassis cost a bit to implement, you know. Other than that, everything’s the same as before, except that the basic version has low quality entertainment system. You can also choose standard or premium quality interior and entertainment if you want and all versions come equipped with a three speed auto.
Then there’s Oden. The Criado Oden. The ‘‘high’’ performance version of the Criado is named after the famous Norse warrior God and rightly so. It has a responsive and aggresive I4 that puts out an astonishing 169 horsepower (well, it’s good for an early 70s I4. Right…? RIGHT!?!). The vikings at Vallhall Performance, the performance division of Midgård Cars, lowered the ride height, made the suspension stiffer and added a sporty 4 speed manual transmission for extra sportyness.
The third gen Vibora has a couple of performance upgrades, an up to date design and slightly worse fuel economy than the second gen Vibora. But who cares about fuel economy? It’s the god damn early 70s, which were full of gigantic American land yachts with underpowered V8 engines. Anyways, the Swedish muscle car with loads of chrome is back with a monocoque chassis, very wide tires and it now has power steering and ABS brakes. The entry level trim comes with a four seat standard interior and basic entertainment. Costumers could choose premium quality interior and entertainment, if they want to make the car more comfortable. The car has pretty stiff suspension so it isn’t something you’d call a comfort car.
We thought that the Vibora needs even more power so we let Vallhall Performance do their thing. They produced a 427hp monster with extremly wide 305mm tires that does a lap around the airfield test track in 1:29.33. Pretty good for a reasonably priced muscle car from the 70s. Then there’s the horrible fuel economy that will make you the primary target of militant ecofascist hippies because muh environments. It drinks 14,14 liters/100km and has no catalytic converter.
The comfortable cruiser returns from the dead. The second generation Mundo’s biggest change is that it has five seats instead of two, but the concept, which is reasonable price and comfort, stayed the same. The car has gone through a massive design overhaul and several engines are available, as well as a luxury grade interior and entertainment. Base version comes with premium interior and entertainment, with a 136hp I4 and three speed auto and most versions of the car have a semi clad undertray for better aerodynamics. In the US of A, militant ecofascist hippies made catalytic converters mandatory for cars sold in 1975, so we had to create a seperate engine line up for the US market and the car has ABS and power steering as standard equipment.
The original Mundo had very little power so Valhall Performance tuned it for performance. They gave the 2.4 liter inline 4 mechanical fuel injection and a turbo charger so the engine puts out 196 horsepower and over 300 Nm of torque. Paired to a five speed sport transmission, it does 0-100km/h in 6.2 seconds and it runs the airfield test track in 1:32.06. The car also features a fully clad undertray which reduces drag, a stiffer suspension for better cornering and rear double wishbone suspension. The Mundo Valhall is a crazy pile of metal. In fact, it could probably match or even beat the 0-100km/h times of some muscle cars of this time period. Sadly, Mundo Valhall was only available outside of the US, due to the requirements of catalytic converters.

The Armonia is a comfortable two seater convertible for all your cruising needs. Take a drive by the beach in style with the Armonia, which comes with premium interior and an AM radio in the base trim. It has a smooth inline 6 but even with this engine, wheelspin is a problem if you floor it, so take it easy with the accelerator. Even with the inline 6, sports compound tires had to be used to make the car somewhat driveable. You may also notice that the tail lights are similar to those used on our 1962 Portador.
While it looks a bit aggressive, it is no performance car by any means but if you think that 182hp is isn’t enough, you can get the V8 sport package, which gives you our 5,4 liter 308hp V8 for that extra wheelspin madness. An automatic locker diff is included with this packade to reduce wheelspin and to increase 0-100 times. It also has a silghtly stiffer suspension and lower ride height to give you some cornering abilities, slightly more aggressive brakes and a semi clad undertray.
If you need more luxury, you can get a luxury interior and a god damn phonograph so you can play your favorite songs without having to listen to an annoying douchebag radio host. The luxury package also includes a semi clad undertray so the fuel economy doesn’t get that bad with the extra weight that the luxury package brings.
Yes, it’s another supercar. In what way is it different from other supercars that one can find in the automotive world? For starters, it isn’t THAT expensive even though it can match the performance of some supercars. Second of all, it runs on REGULAR quality fuel. We told 95 and 98 RON fuel to go #!*% itself because we wanted to make sure that you can fill up this car in most countries. Lastly, if you want high performance and don’t want to spend a lot of money, we have a version with a 332hp inline 4. Sure, it sounds lame but it does 0-100 in 3.8 seconds, which is enough to spank even some V8 powered cars. Premium interior and infotainment is standard equipment for this car as well as ABS, power steering, traction control and electronic stability. If you want that really sporty feel, you can choose a lightweight sport interior. Also, the car isn’t that uncomfortable since we didn’t make the suspension too stiff and the tires aren’t overly low profile.
Sounds pretty basic, right? We gave the car to Valhall Performance and told them to unleash all of their insanity on this car. The car is built with fancy materials, such as glued aliminium chassis and carbon fiber panels. It has magnesium rims, a hypermodern electronic limited slip diff to keep wheelspin at a minimum, some fancy as #!?% ceramic brakes and the most advanced safety features of the 2010s. We also included fully clad undertray and an active wing for optimized aerodynamics.
The car is RWD and has a dual clutch sequential gearbox, but AWD is offered with a 20F/80R power distribution for the Super-8 version of the car.
The fourth generation Criado is a bit different. For starters, there’s no shitty basic interior anymore. The worst you can get is a five seat standard quality interior and the best you can get is premium quality. Second of all, we said goodbye to leaded fuel so the Criado runs on regular quality unleaded now and it has an 8-track entertainment system (either basic or premium quality). The car is also equipped with power steering and ABS for easier driving.
The design is also quite different. We took a different approach and said no to chrome details. A Midgård Cars car without excessive chrome details? Yes sir! The concept stays the same, which is cheap, cheap and cheap, since the car has low service costs and a low price tag.
Then we have the Criado Oden, a high performance version made by Valhall Performance. They turbocharged the 2.4L I4, gave it mechanical fuel injection and other upgrades and thus it produces 204hp. 0-100 takes only 6.1 seconds, it still has acceptable comfort and it has traction control.
Production years: 1980 – 1983. Chassis & panels: Corrosion resistant steel monocoque chassis and panels. Suspension setup: Front MacPherson Strut and rear semi trailing arm.
Standard Criado: Progressive springs, gas mono-tube dampers and passive sway bars.
Premium Criado: hydropneumatic springs, twin tube dampers and passive sway bars.
Criado Oden: standard springs, gas mono-tube dampers and passive sway bars. Drive type, engine and gearbox: FR layout, 2.4 liter inline 4 (126hp @5900RPM; 175Nm @3700RPM) or 2.4 liter turbocharged I4 (204hp @6300RPM; 261Nm @4900RPM) and five speed manual (4 spd auto available). Tires: hard long life road tires w/ 14” steel rims (sports compound and alloy rims for Criado Oden), 580mm wheel diameter, 215mm/215mm tire width (245mm for Criado Oden). Brakes, differential & safety: front solid disc two piston and rear drum brakes, open diff (geared limited slip diff for Criado Oden) and advanced 1980s safety technology.
