[size=150]Getting up Camoria’s Nose[/size]
Friendly competition is not unheard of among peers, which is why when we heard from Camoria that Lacertosus had 1-upped us, we begged to differ. One call to the design department and we got solid results, we stroked the Super-Eight out to 5.0 liters and dialed the power up; 1271 horsepower, all on Premium pump gas. This allows the Rear-Wheel-Drive hypercar to match Camoria’s AWD F-Style’s 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds, and makes Eris half a second faster through the 1/4 Mile than the F-Style Lacertosus at 9.0 seconds dead… To further pour salt into the wound, Eris weighs several hundred Kilos less than Camoria’s contender, and destroys it flat-out with a top speed of 271mph. Stay classy, Camoria.
[size=150]The Interior[/size]
Eris flaunts a completely hand-crafted interior; plush cotton and wool seats, wood and brushed aluminum steering wheel. The dashboard and center console are framed with polished quartz, finished up with wood and leather inserts. In terms of creature comforts, you get Air Conditioning, electronically adjustable seats, and a basic audio system. You also get a control console for tuning the driving aids, if you’re brave enough. The instrument panel is gorgeous, like a modern jet fighter, it uses an advanced digital system to get a holographic display, telling you everything you need to know about Eris. The colors of her interior are customized upon customer request.
[size=150]The Cost of Excellence[/size]
Unfortunately, due to what goes into producing this machine, the price is incredibly high. To take one of these cars home, you’ll need to shell out some dough to cover the confirmed price tag of $2,540,000. With an intended 3-year production run ending at just nine units, Eris will be one of the most exclusive cars ever produced. Included in the price is lifetime maintenance, and VIP access to MONO’s racing facilities.
Shots fired! Anyway I’ll be joining competition soon since I’m pretty much hitting a wall when it comes to getting any improvements on my car, sure I could pump Q sliders a lot further but I’m not so sure about pretty much multiplying total cost for rather small gains. Well I’m focusing more on track performance though so no hand crafted interior and luxuries like that, I just made it bearable enough so it can’t be used as inventive form of torture. Actually would you mind posting more detailed stats, track times etc. ? It’s always helpful to compare your stuff. BTW nice trick with tipple exhausts, I might steal it.
When I made Eris, track times were not very high on the priorities list. So it shouldn’t be difficult to make a better track weapon. I wanted a car that could brag Veyron-shaming acceleration without using an 8-liter piece of absurdity or 4WD, or most of all, weighing as much as a tank.
In terms of detailed stats, she produces about 50kg of lift, and her cornering is around 1.30G @30mph and 1.23G @130-ish. Gas mileage is a firm 27mpg, down just a bit from the concept due to increased engine size, but not much thanks to a more efficient tune. Weight is now around 1371kg or so. I plan to put the P14/S around the TG track later, so I’ll get back to you on that. Maybe even make a stripped-down track model with loads of downforce!
The guantlet has been thrown down! You should post your whole numbers so the stats nerds like me can compare against the Camoria F-Style.
So will MONO still be supplying engines to Camoria or is this MONO’s response to Camoria using Lacertosus engines?
If so…
"MONO boss CNSpots1 has confirmed the partnership between Camoria (NYSE:CAMO) and MONO (NYSE:MONO) has ended. The long running partnership came to an end after Camoria decided to use a Lacertosus sourced engine in their latest supercar, the F-Style.
“Camoria wanted to go their own direction with their supercar. This was something we weren’t party to but we have found an amicable solution” he explains. Feeling somewhat snubbed at losing the lucrative contract, MONO created the Eris. The Eris is set to go on sale later this year and CNSpots1 says this was the reason behind the split.
"We continue to supply them with engines but we have created our own super car. We are appreciative of our many joint achievements. Our cars [F-Style and Eris] are rivals but off the track we are still friends. I wouldn’t call it a great deal for us [losing the contract] but it was a win-win situation. They got they wanted, an engine more powerful than what we were able to provide to power their super car and we got a car we have complete control over and the ability to promote and build the MONO brand "*
*None of the above is true or from CNSpots1, I just made it up.
"Camoria has contracted over a half-a-dozen engine designers to provide engines for their automobiles. If one were to look carefully in the Camoria Automotive Official Thread, one could see that the reason for the car tycoon’s post was to demonstrate a car with more “raw horsepower.” Camoria Automotive and MONO Performance still hold strong ties to each other for model-engine development.
Official Press Release-
“To respond to the conundrum, I’d like to state that we are still looking to provide engines to anyone who desires them, including Camoria, whom we have had a very successful business relationship with; About 30% of the profit MONO made from the engines we have provided to Camoria went into properly equipping ourselves to produce the Eris. The refined Super-Eight engine in the production P14/S was merely our ‘checkmate’ to our rivals, we needed to tell the other engine companies that “We’re still hitting hard.” And I think we accomplished that, Eris punches down incredible figures and statistics on the acceleration front that surpass Camoria’s fourteen-hundred horsepower F-Style, but there is no doubt in our minds that the F-Style is going to be faster on a racetrack, because they are built for entirely different reasons. While the P14/S Eris is designed to be ridiculously fast and exotic, it’s not a true racer. Camoria’s F-Style produces the insane asylum thrills of a true racecar, in an obscene and magnificent display of power.”
MONO’s Boss states.
“Eris is named after the Goddess of Discord. She’s fast, prestigious, and lavished with luxurious interior, but she’s still very loud and very nasty on a race track, befitting her namesake.”
I’m currently withdrawn from the hypercar market, with no intentions of creating a revised version of the Eris. Though I may have something in the works…
