Finally reached 2015. :yeah:
But unfortunally my '95 Vectura IV and the '98 Nabot VII won´t load after the update. I made them before. It´s a pity, but i´ll redo them sometime. Now i concentrate on more details to the timeline, some new trims, cars and engines.
[quote]2004 - 15th September
Nolden Sabera III
After 13 years Nolden developed the new Sabera III. The full-size SUV is still able to drive through hardest terrain (Offroad: 67) and is noew much more driveable, comfy and safe, while Nolden also worked on the reliability.
But with the V8 317cc engine and 381 hp, the car needs over 23 lt/100 km of fuel, while the costs are just a bit higher. If you want one, you´ll have to pay $28.450.
2005 - 5th May
Nolden Ampuloso III
In '05 Nolden presented the third generation of the roadster Ampuloso. The car has still 300 hp, but runs with the V8 213cc from 2002.
Nolden worked on the car to make it more driveable, but in order to that a bit less sporty. Also the comfort is now better, while the company again used better safety equipment.
While the car is as reliable as before, the fuel consumption is now at 16 lt/100 km and the price rises to $42.750. But for this amount of money, you´ll get a sprint from 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds, a top speed of 259 km/h (161 mph) and will be back from 60 to 0 mph in 35 meters.
2006 - 30th January
Nolden Preto I Sportback
The Preto I is a new model by Nolden. It´s a Mid-size car only available as a station wagon.
The car is made to be driveable, comfy and economic, to be used as a family car or for business men.
The new I4 1.3tdi works in the Eco trim. It´s the most comfy version of the car with a high safety standard an good reliability. The Price will be at $28.350.
The I4 1.6tdi in the Blue Motion trim is even more economic in the combined fuel statistics, but uses much more fuel in the city. It´s the choice for business men on long road trips. It´s also the most driveable edition and will cost §28.950.
The third trim, the Eco Boost, has also a new engine: The I6 2.0tdi. It´s the most sporty and fun version with the best reliability. Of course 165 hp need more fuel, but Nolden managed to keep it in the same area, as the 1.6 and 1.3. You´ll need $33.995 for this car.
In 2006 Nolden Automobil GmbH overhauled the inline-4 1.3, the inline-4 1.6 and the inline-6 2.0 engine
2006 I4 1.3tdi 98 HP / 151 Nm
The new I4 1.3L turbo engine has 15 hp less, but gained 4 Nm. Nolden worked to make the engine more responsive and quieter, while it´s also more reliable. The emission is down from 207 to 99, while also the economy is better.
2006 I4 1.6tdi 121 HP / 187 Nm
The 1.6L inline-4 engine gained 3 hp and 15 Nm torque, while it´s 4 ccm smaller. Like the 1.3L engine, the 1.6 is now more responsive and reliable, while the emission also decreased from 210 to 98 and the economy is 7% better.
2006 I6 2.0tdi 165 HP / 235 Nm
While Nolden tried in 2001 to go down to 4 cylinders, the company changed back to 6 for the 2.0L engine. Despite 5 hp and 3 Nm less, the engine revs now up to 7000 instead of 5800 and is more responsive and way more smooth. Again the reliability is increased and the emission is down from 353 to 133. And once again the economy is about 10% better than before.
2007 - 3rd May
Nolden Nabot VIII
In '07 Nolden showed the eight generation of the Nabot. The car is now much heavier, but also more sporty, comfy and safe. While the reliability is a bit better, Nolden was able to keep it´s economy even with the double weight. But the prices are now much higher.

The third and sporty trim is equipped with a new I4 1.8tdi Eco Boost engine and AWD. Of course this will make the car very sporty, while also the front tires are wider than in all other trims. The fuel consumption is a bit higher, but still low with just 6.6 lt/100 km. If you want a small car for the city and still driving fun outside the city borders, you will choose this trim. The price is at $27.999.
The new 1.8tdi Inline-4 engine is not just a successor to the '99 version, it´s completly redone.
2007 I4 1.8tdi 147 HP / 210 Nm

2008 - 15th June
Nolden Espuro VII
After 16 years Nolden produced the seventh generation of the Espuro. The car has now a new engine, the first V6 by Nolden, but lost 70 hp. Despite this fact, the car is way more driveable, sporty and safe. Even the comfort is better, while the weight is a bit higher.
But Nolden also worked on the reliability, while the fuel consumption is a bit higher at 14.2 lt/100 km. The new price is also increased and at $37.995.

2008 - 15th June
Nolden Rennsport RX II/III Espuro VII
It took 33 years to build a new RX II. The third generation of this race car is based on the Espuro VII, but it´s only for track days. With the double amount of power (586 hp), the car is not only more sporty, it´s even more driveable. And of course the roll cage will give the car more weight, but also more safety.
As a big bonus, the car is also more economic as it´s street legal brother. But the car will only be sold to costumer teams to race it in GT3 series and has a price of $60.000.
Compared to the Espuro VII, the car nearly 2 seconds faster from 0-60 mph and needs just 4.6 seconds. Even the sprint from 50-75 mph is down from 4 seconds to 2.1 seconds, while the car comes from 60-0 mph to an halt after 31.6 meters. The topspeed is now up to 327 km/h (203 mph).
Nolden worked on the '04 V8 317cc to build it´s new V8 engine.
2008 V8 317cc 586 HP / 622 Nm
The engine has still now turbo, but a direct fuel injection. This will give the engine, which is now mostly cast iron, a boost of 205 hp and 178 Nm, while it´s a bit louder, but also more smooth. The emissions are at just 43 and also the economy is now increased by 10%.
2009 - 21st September
Nolden Rocco V
In '09 a new Rocco was built. It took Nolden 18 years to show the new Mid-size SUV, which is now heavier, but also more driveable, comfy, prestigous and a car with one of the best safety equipment Nolden ever used. But the car is still reliable and even more economic than before, while the costs are much more expensive than before.
The smallest trim is the I4 1.3tdi version. It´s the most comfy of all, but only usable as a “city suv”. This car needs just 10 lt/100 km, despite its 2 tons of weight and is available for $29.995.
The second trim uses the I4 1.8tdi engine and is right in the mix. It´s powerful to be usable as a real offroader (72), but still economic with just 10.4 lt/100 km. It´s the best compromise of all three trims and will cost $31.250.
The third trim is equiped with the V6 2.0di engine from the Espuro and has the most power and torque. It´s a little mule and the most drivable of all. The car is also the most reliable and as you can see, just build for on purpose: To pull heavy things. The economy of 21 lt/100 km shouldn´t scare you, because you´ll get a small SUV with the power of a big one for $35.950.
2010 - 2nd March
Nolden Terpeno VIII Hatcback
‘Never change a running system’ was the motto for the new Terpeno. The car is available in the same trims, but with newer engines.

The second trim is again the I4 1.6tdi, but with 3 hp gained. It´s the compromise between the small city trim and the sporty road trim. It uses just a bit more fuel and is priced at $23.000.
The I4 1.8tdi trim has gained 5 hp and is the most sporty of all. But it´s also the most heaviest and needs 7 lt/100 km for a price of $26.250.

The most powerful trim is equiped with the new V6 2.4di engine. It´s the most drivable of all, but nearly the lightest. The economy is still the highest with nearly 14 lt/100 km, but what do you expect with 223 hp. It´ll be sold for $31.990.
The 2.4L V6 engine is the seconds V6 from Nolden.
2011 V6 2.4di 223 HP / 225 Nm
Compared to the 2.0L from 2008, this engine has 4 hp less, but 30 Nm gained. It´s also way more smoother and more economic. But Nolden is just at the beginning to work with V6 engines and will still research to make this engine type better.
2012 - 6th July
Nolden Cruiser XI Saloon
The Cruiser is already in it´s eleventh generation. The new Cruiser is now more sporty and comfy as before, while it´s a bit lighter. But also the entertainment system is now much better and in order to that, the prices are a bit higher.

The fourth generation of the Ampuloso was shown in 2013. The car has again 300 hp, but a new V8 244cc. While it´s a bit harder to control the car, it´s more sporty and comfy.
