We at Canary Motor Company are proud to introduce you to the next generation of affordable performance vehicles, the FH-258 Foxhound:
The Foxhound was built with specifically to challenge the notion that you have to choose between a fun car, and a useful car. That a car can’t possibly be fast enough to challenge V8 muscle, safe enough for a family of five, and affordably priced both off the lot and at the gas pump.
To such an ambitious end, a car needs to have a truly exceptional base. Fortunately, that’s just what the Foxhound gives you:
- An all-aluminum Hood, with a galvanized steel underbody, combines low weight and high corrosion resistance
- Transverse FWD gives maximum legroom in a small body, and allows the Foxhound to use a bulletproof Torsion Beam rear suspension
The Foxhound marks the introduction of a brand new engine series as well: the 1.81L A.V.A.L.O.N: That’s Advanced Valve, timing And Lift Operations, Naturally aspirated. When you’re gently cruising around town, the valves give you the economy of your typical commuter car, with more than 30 miles to the US gallon [7.5L/100km]. But life’s not all about the destination, sometimes it’s the journey itself you want to savor. When you really want to pour on the coal, the valves open up for maximum airflow, letting the Avalon put down more than 140hp at the wheels.
That’s right, we said at the wheels. Because at Canary Motors, we don’t play around selling “what if” or “what it could be”, we sell you what it IS. And what the Foxhound is, is a car that will get you to 60mph [100kmh] in less than 7 seconds, on a top-of-the-line 5-speed stick shift. What it is, is a car that will bring you from 60mph to a standstill in 3 seconds, with 4-wheel ABS to guarantee that maximum brake pressure from you, always means maximum braking power from the car. What it is, is a car that hold 0.80G in a turn with factory tires, without ever risking oversteer. All of this, for a sticker price of $19,000 AGD
Thanks to the latest in wind tunnel testing and aerodynamic simulation, the Foxhound can not only effortlessly slip through the air, it can channel this air for its own use: The factory-fit “Axial-Flowcaps” pump air through the brakes for maximum cooling, by drawing the annoying, liftmaking air from the underside and pushing it to the sides. Combined with a rear wing to keep the tires planted during maximum deceleration, the Foxhound can make a controlled stop from 60mph in under 150ft [45m].
Don’t think that this power and speeds comes at the cost of daily driving or safety, either: The variable-strength power steering system ensures parking is effortless, while highway driving remains stable and confident. We’re so confident in our work, we make you the 50,000 mile [80,000km] promise: If you can find anything wrong before 50,000 miles, no matter how big or small, we’ll fix it for you, no extra cost.
And if you’re looking for the airbags? Don’t worry, we brought two: one for each front seat. Because as incredible as our car can be, the most incredible thing is you and your family.
