I’ll bring it up when I get the time, but right now I’m a bit squeezed!
Right, finally, entry time. I’ve been trying to squeeze two deadlines: one, a presentation for the unit meeting, and this. Guess which one I finished first
In this day and age, Canada has, and continues to do well to stay well away from the brooding international instabilities. Whatever its residents say about the vagaries and incompetencies of its local politics, the rest of the world round, it enjoys a reputation for being a mostly progressive, peaceful country of sprawling diversity from which few evils have spawned (considering nobody knew who Justin Bieber was yet…). By extension, Canadians as a people are thought to be a far cry from their larger-than-life, chest beating counterparts south of the border with the notable exception of ice hockey.
How then, to market a supercar that confidently declares itself a supercar in capability and presence, yet remains unpretentious and friendly to both people and environment?
Completely fictional manufacturer from a presumably European country, Empyrean, presents the technological counterpunch to that Teutonic bus of yesteryear, the Infernus!
For a progressive businessowner comes a progressive car years ahead of its time, for years to come. Finally in the flesh nearly twenty years since conception, this is a car rooted deep in supercar values, but evolved with highly advanced technology that grants it a versatility never before seen. For the driver, the twin turbo 6.2L V12 engine has a specific output exceeding 100hp/liter, yet delivers flat torque through its very wide powerband from under 3k rpm all the way to its redline of 8800rpm so you’ll never be left short-shifted. The transmission is a highly advanced AWD with new electronically controlled torque vectoring, catapulting it from 0-62mph in 2.5s, the quarter mile in 10 seconds flat, and breaking 300km/h at the kilometer onto a top speed of over 380km/h. This car is one of the first to feature active aerodynamics and active suspension, harnessing extra control and downforce when pushing to the limits, exquisitely tuned to pull an unprecedented 1.3g on the skidpad while keeping rock steady.
But this is far from only a road monster. For the everyday person, the suspension is capable of raising the ride height at speeds of up to 50km/h for all the bumps and uneven surfaces. The fuel economy is simply unheard of in a car with this unparalleled performance, at over 24mpg. We would be surprised if a car this fast and this well-appointed was this economical within the next ten years. Pair this with a high quality interior and a full suite of driving aids, and you have yourself the city supercar that turns heads, the highway supercar that can cruise endlessly in addition to the most capable road racer the world has seen outside of motorsports.
All this comes for a (frankly ludicrously unrealistic) 158600.
Empyrean: the Divine in motion.
