The design is good but the exhaust is way too big, and you should set the redline after the power peak; this engine could be more powerful if it wasn’t governed so low.

1993 Cavaliere Nobile Arco

Since 1977, Cavaliere Nobile offers a sport luxury sedan. The Caligula was the benchmark in ultimate luxury and performance, while the Cesare in 1984 offered a more generous experience in terms of interior space, but did not neglect the sportiness. After a 1989 facelift, now the Arco takes over.


From the Caligula over the Cesare to the Arco, interior quality and luxury has been crucial for Frunian cars, made by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. While the 80s were a bit mainstream, we now figured out a way to bring the radical and groundbreaking interior of the Caligula to a modern interpretation.




Rear passengers might not have as opulent luxury as in the Caligula, but finest wood and leather and a both exciting but traditional design pleases the eye.




What is definitely another improvements: The prices. The new Arco is faster than its predecessors despite a slightly lower amount of horsepower - the new car is light and efficient as most of it´s Hetvesian rivals.
This allows for very competetive pricing. And, as a novelty, the sedan from Cavaliere Nobile is not only an offer to all the wealthy people out there. We even offer a base model, although “base” does not mean you would be low on power and trim level. Instead of only one engine and trim level, Cavaliere now lets the customer choose from three engines and individual options, building an Arco for every driver temper and expectations. From luxury over sportiness to frugalism - the Arco offers it all.

'93 AMS Ventnor V8 Prime

CSR161-friendly version cloned from the one entered for QFC23.

Interior

With a smaller V8 engine, conventional coil-sprung suspension and monotube dampers, this is a more accessible entry point to the Ventnor range, but it’s still a true luxury car through and through.

Sports Handling Package

This $1400 option package ($2400 when combined with air springs, which are a separate option costing $1000) adds a helical LSD, slightly sportier (but still comfort-focused) suspension with adaptive dampers, bigger brakes, lower-profile summer tires, and body-colored accents (grille frame, lower wing mirrors, door handles, and light surrounds).

This trim is aimed at customers who want a more involving drive to go with their luxurious experience, without sacrificing too much comfort.

It should be noted that this option package was not fitted to the original CSR161 submission on cost and reliability grounds.

1922 Ventnor Series II Phaeton




After World War I, Ventnor was in a bit of a slump. Many of the factory workers had been drafted into the military, and most of those who came home wanted to move on to other things. With only one model being produced, and that one being among the same line first introduced in 1905, the company needed to move in a new direction. The Series II was the answer. The first new design from Ventnor in 17 years. Using a powerful inline six engine, it was the first production Ventnor capable of reaching 100 miles per hour. (A speed that some may be a bit squeamish about when riding on wooden wheels) A number of variants had been produced, but the Phaeton was the first one to be built.

2000 Cavaliere Nobile Freccia and 2004 Cavaliere Nobile Arco

After the end of the cooperation with Yamaguchi in 1992, Cavaliere Nobile transferred more back into a premium niche manufactor, but kept its upper models in production. But the 2001 Freccia hardly reflected exclusivity in terms of the visuals. The most interessing was the turbo integrale, sending 260 horsepower to all four wheels, a novelty the Yamaguchi-related chassis of the old Freccia was not able to offer, and the modest 1.6 liter FWD base model was an accessible commuter car for all those that wanted to spend a bit more to drive a new Cavaliere Nobile that offered more fun and exclusivity than your usual Globus or IP.




To change this, Cavaliere Nobile dared a very radical redesign of the Arco, positioning it further upmarket and offering it with a 250 hp 3.0 B6 or a 5.5 liter V10 with 560 hp. Both cars have a complete trim level, offering the most luxury available.





The huge second-generation Arco was known for its trick to look a lot smaller and sportier than it actually was, but high prices kept the volumes low, and the very unusual design both of exterior and interior was not everyone´s cup of tea, but it sold good enough to keep the brand alive that spent all its savings on the supercars.

I guess your recent purchase of a Thesis didn’t inspire you to a build like this at all? :wink:
