The Car Shopping Round (Round 64): Tears in Heaven

Economy will be slightly important. Not a huge concern unless it’s really stupidly bad. Emissions the buyer couldn’t care less about.

Just for clarity’s sake, “+15 Body Quality” means +15 on the body selection tab? or the chassis/panel selection tab?

1945 ACA Corona “Custom”

This custom model of ACA Corona is loosely based off a certain other modification of the Corona.

However unlike that car, this new custom model has been redesigned to order. Featuring a new 500CI engine lifted from the ACA RoadCruiser.

The body panels have also been replaced by military grade steel/ceramic composite armour plating designed to stop small arms fire and provide some protection from larger calibre fire arms. The windows have also been replaced with two inches of glass clad polycarbonate windows designed to stop at least 5 rounds of 7.62 mm. The interior panels of the car have also been lined with a thin layer of Kevlar to reduce the risk of spalling. The undertray has also been specifically shaped to mitigate the damage from mines and IEDs

Inside, the Corona Custom is fitted with plush luxury interior with many places to store wine and cigars. In the rear, the car has space for several Tommy guns and also has a gun rack under the seats for pistols and smaller SMGs. There is even space for an M72 LAW which can be launched from the sunroof.

Mosley L31P3 6.5

We at Mosley Protection Systems are proud to unveil our latest proposition in Executive protection. Walcroft&Riley struck an exclusive partnership deal with us, enabling us to develop a comprehensive protection package for the Scala, their latest luxury sedan already during development. The package will accordingly be available right from day one when Scala sales commence on March 1st 2010.

The Scala is the ultimate executive office on wheels; The 3.1m wheelbase allows for a cavernous working environment, two individual seats fitted with the latest in wellness technology are rounded off with a selection of leather and wood trims to create a comfortably insulated private space in which the busiest of CEOs can effectively focus on whatever work may be at hand or just relax and indulge in the luxuries of their private oasis as the chauffeur almost unnoticeably causes them to arrive at their next destination in style, assisted by the silky purr of the V12 powerplant.

As - quite regrettably - the importance of a person can often be measured by the number and power of his enemies, a CEO’s means of transport need not only to be insulated from the noise and chatter of the outside world, but sometimes also from brute physical force. And that’s where Mosley comes in.

Being able to look W&R over the shoulder during development, we were able to tailor a protective package to the car benefiting from more intimate knowledge of its architecture than any competitor may claim to have, creating the Mosley L31P3. The exact composition and design of the armoured cell protecting the passengers is classified to prevent potential assailants from adapting, but it is virtually immune to handgun calibre rounds and will protect against multiple .30 rifle hits.

The drivetrain and suspension has been modofied. While being fine in terms of reliability, the Scala’s active suspension was replaced with a rugged conventional design suited for the punishment during an escape scenario. The same goes for the 7-speed automatic, which was swapped for a heavy-duty 5-speed one.

The tyres are not run-flat, but rather a Kevlar-reinforced self-sealing design hooked up to an air pump driven by the main engine in an emergency. The tyres will deflect or absorb a 9x19 Parabellum round fired from 15m at a 60° angle, and even if punctured, will remain inflated to enable a swift and safe traversal to the next safehouse after the escape from the immediate danger zone.

The multipurpose thread and rubber composition along with the AWD system and the protective undertray allow for quick dirt road traversal. Thanks to its 392hp V12, the Mosley L31P3 is faster than anything than can pose a threat to it, barring gunship helicopters and fighter jets.

Mosley L31P3 prices start from 35 000$.

Lol - just noticed that I named the base car for my L31 “Serenity”. Had a feeling that the name has been used somewhere on this forum…

Anyway, fixed it.

DMV Impact Guardian



The DMV Impact is our premier full-size SUV, with applications ranging from offroad to track. This particular one is equipped with our special Guardian package. Which means it has a specially shaped underbody to deflect Mines and IEDs, body panels capable of stopping bullets in their tracks, and a hermetically sealed interior in case of chemical or nuclear attack. Its 7 seat interior is enough for you and a team of bodyguards ride in comfort, with hidden mounting points for guns to allow for returning fire.

Standard equipment includes emergency communications equipment, an onboard water reserve with a special filtration system, an additional reserve for 2 pints of blood for each of the passengers in the event of an injury, and a smokescreen.

And we’re happy to report that our anemities haven’t compromised performance. The Guardian receives a standard 8.2 liter V8 and 6 speed automatic that when mated to the AWD system, allow the Impact to reach 60 in just 4.4 seconds onto a top speed of 170 MPH. And being a 4,900 pound SUV, it has the bulk to withstand impact from pursuing vehicles, and return the favor if need be.

The specially tuned suspension allows the Impact to hold over .9 Gs of lateral cornering force while maintaining a high standard of comfort, and has been specially constructed to be able to withstand repeated use off the pavement.


As equipped the Impact Guardian retails for $33,300
