Would you expect anything less from the ‘supreme ultimate’ premium sedan? 
@DeusExMackia Europe is a really tough battlefield to break into for upstart luxury marques. But we’ll come for you in the UK eventually…now I wonder how many brands have operations in Anikatia?
@porsche9999 That’s a shame, but I’ll be looking forward to your new brand!

DSD releases for paris auto show (more info to come when I have time)
DSD has taken a new direction and has re-released some of its more popular crate engines
THE 497ci R
Released with the E MODEL SARATOGA’s this was a high output engine with drag racing in mind. Only 437 of these were produced by DSD with only 201 E MODELS sold worldwide and the others used as replacement motors.
The new crate engine offeres improved oiling and cooling capabilities over the original 497R.
Utilizing the largest possible bore and stroke at 104mm/120mm a billet crankshaft was needed to allow for such high torque figures, attached to this are a set of lightweight pistons being swung by I beam steel Rods.12.1:1 static compression is achieved along with very hot cams and extreme VVL tuning. The fuel system is unique in that a twin 4bbl tuned ram setup is used with twin pro-system single barrel carburetors. DSD an NX also offer a complete nitro package to complement the carbs. A set of DSD 4-1 NASCAR headers are supplied and are tuned to be used without any other exhaust attachments. This engine must be run on e85 and will produce on average 639Hp/794Nm.
Windsor RPG
The Windsor as fitted to Griffen a joint venture between DSD and RPG
DSD heavily modified the 1964 engine to suit a new car buyer below is what we did.
Well we did our best with the old Windsor and have decided to pay for the rights to use your design.
We have however made some changes to suit the Griffen that will be it’s new home.
So we decided to use the stock OHV cast heads and block. Luckily there was a little bit of playing room as far as bore/stroke goes so naturally we went with the highest possible at 5452cc, we also 3/4 filled the block with engine grout to give a little more strength and the main caps are now a 6 bolt affair.
We filled the block with our own forged crankshaft with Mahle Rods and Pistons with a static compression of 9.6:1.
Then turning our attention to the heads we first raised the exhaust ports cleaned up the sharp turn radius for the exhaust valve and fitted a lightweight valve. On the intake side the intake manifold was match ported to the cylinder heads, a much larger valve was installed and we added length to the intake port (we had to weld up the old ports and start from scratch. We also modified the manifold to be a dry system with no coolant running through the manifold, also unique to the DSD version is an electric water pump. The ecu is a Holley unit and spark is now provided by a MSD crank wheel trigger coil on plug ignition system.
The camshaft is an off the shelf DSD unit (part no. 28528DSDC) and No fancy VVT was used. The only way that we could make this engine reliable and economical was to use turbocharging with units as always supplied by Precision Turbo’s. The turbo’s are tiny with large A/r ratios a small intercooler and very modest boost pressure. With the use of turbo’s DSD finally decided to invest in DI technology and the mighty Windsor is the first to benefit. What this means is an engine that develops economical effortless power while only requiring 91Oct fuel and in total we raised power by 81HP and torque by a staggering 132NM of torque while using 100% less fuel total power is 300Hp/517Nm
Two models are available the modern 300hp and a 1964 era tri-power 250hp

In 2016 a private collector @ramthecowy who formerly worked for Saab came to darkshines with a proposition.
He would build DSD it’s own modern high tech racecourse if DSD would purchase the few experimental engines that were in his possession.
The Nökken V8!
The story goes.
A team of mates that left Saab during the production of the second generation of the Sonnett got together to produce a V8 that could power sports cars, around the world. The official paperwork states
Year: 1973
Displacement: 2112cc/ 112 Kg’s
Fuel: 91 Octane Regular Mechanical Fuel Injection
Exhaust: 4-1 tuned exhaust
Loudness: somewhere between 42 and 45
Reliability 46
Cylinders: 8
Aspiration: Natural
Power: 120kW/161hp
Torque: Somewhere like 180/200Nm
Redline: 7000rpm
Price: Under ~$900 materials
Originally skeptical after receiving the engine along with the tooling blueprints Darkshine’s became very excited. Here were 10 experimental engine from Saab with documentation and the rights to build more!
So the original engines were interesting the mechanical injection worked but could be improved easily by switching to a carb. The 4 valve heads were well designed with minor short turn radius improvements made by DSD.
With only 10 original engines produced these remained with darkshines in his personal collection however two variants were made to suit the public a 1973 version and a 2016 version.
The original Nokken v8 if you want one you gotta pay big $1,000,000.00 AUD
The DSD Nokken V8, the re-made re-tooled nostalgia version available for $2499.99 AUD
The modern Crate engine uses EFI along with new forged bottom end components to achieve 212hp. These engine are ideally suited to small FWD setups or transverse AWD and are available for $3999.99 AUD

The Latest Crate offering from DSD 3 Ford style Big Blocks ranging from 300hp -1500hp
The N.O.S 557ci SOHC v8
An all Alsi affair. Designed to used the bore spacing’s from a 385 series Ford and matching those specs to a FE Ford SOHC head.
This allowed for the extra cubic capacity to be used with much higher flowing heads.
Unlike the DSD8 the 557 heads have the valves in different positions and are much larger in diameter.
The block comes filled with Forged goodies supplied by Mahle/Bryant Racing.
optimized as a low compression high torque engine Turbo/Supercharging only requires a re-tune of the ecu.
Speaking of the Ecu it comes from Holley and is a self learning unit that can tune itself independently. All of the fuel injection equipment is mounted in the top mount throttle body for ease of maintenance. The 557 is designed as a modular engine platform in that it is designed to be used in multiple applications these include but are not limited to speed/ski boat engines, motor homes, light trucks and pick-up trucks, 4x4 and off coarse muscle cars and hotrods.
The engine does require 95oct fuel and comes with a new set off 4-1 headers suited for a large bore single exhaust. Total power is 500Hp/764Nm
