Senah Motors was born in worn tattered Europe, exactly; France. Starting out only creating replacement parts that were on the cheap side for other automobiles. SENAH Motors was raking in a mediocre but steady cash flow; Until Charles Senah’s brother, Ethan challenged him. To create a vehicle with the replacement parts, but the catch was to make it higher quality to veer the company away from being infamous for the cheapness. So Charles went to work and decided on a compact performance vehicle; the result was something a laughable to but was pretty nice. The Leo 100.
It has a very weak Automatic V12 only making 78.6hp at 5500rpm
.
Afterwards, the release of the car was slow but steadily gained traction. Spotting the occasional Leo 100 usually waving and smiling at the owner.

One day Charles went to a vehicle race track and saw a Leo 100 that was race modded when Charles could he asked the owner of the race modded Leo 100 what was his opinion for Senah’s Leo 100 and if he wanted to see a supersport version. The owner said he would kill for one for a version of the Leo 100. So Charles went back to the shop and started designing; the Leo SS 1000.
The Leo SS 1000 was a Leo 100 with an extended front end, more aggressive styling and a 283hp V12.
It was a massive hit was vehicle ethusistants. but since it’s much higher price tag compared to the Leo 100. It was short lived.

Actually, I liked this small detail - you made a race Leo 100 and (I guess accidentally) did one common aerodynamics trick - modify the lights to be more aerodynamic
Also, not bad start

Between 1954 and 1959 Senah Motors sales had slowed down but were not declining and staying still. Late 1959, an idea struck Charles Senah; creating a much-needed update to the Leo 100. Which every couple years gained an extra few horsepower but everything else stayed the same, Charles Senah bolted to work the next day; Working hard and finally coming up with two new revisions the Leo lineup. The Leo 155 and the Leo SS 1500. The 155 had a rear engine V8 making 97.7hp but only having 21.1mpg instead of the Leo 100’s 23.8, that was the only trade-off of the Leo 155 beside it being arguably ugly. The Leo SS 1500 on the other hand, had a better MPG and horsepower compared to the SS 1000 but being more expensive. The Leo SS 1500 has a front engine V8 making 400hp
After almost 2 decades of recovering from the world war, France is now prospering and the automotive industry is now demanding more luxury cars. Charles went to work designing two “Company divisions” Senah Commodore and Senah Luxe. The first two cars of these “Divisions” was the Senah Commodore 192 and Senah Luxe Ultimite Slyline Mk1. The Commodore 192 is a budget Luxury-Sport; having more Horsepower and a premium interior, while the Luxe Ultimite Slyline Mk1 is a High-End luxury automobile; only focusing on luxury since the Slyline Mk1 only gets 14mpg and even though having a more powerful engine than the Commodore 192 the Slyline Mk1 takes longer to get to 60mph.
Soon after the cars hit the French automobile market Charles decided to expand his company to England, the United States and Australia with the Leo, Leo SS, Commodore 192 and Luxe Ultimite Slyline Mk1. England was the least popular of the 4 countries; the Commodore and Leo SS was very popular in the united states and Australia. While in England the Leo was the only “popular” car being sold under the Senah name.
