Or so they marketed it. Not many people knew the AEM Superbia was actually meant as a concept to showcase the raw lunacy of the NC-division of AEM, or Aequitas, who were working on the replacement to their well received supercar. So it was actually not meant to go around corners. Yet the boss of the company liked it. He liked it so much, he wanted to put it in production. And thusly, it was released. Not that great a car at all. Quite the horrid one. But it had its charm.
The Superbia showed the world the minds behind the NC-division. They had put a simple 9.5 L turbocharged V8 in a car, put seats in it and thought that was a good idea. It was basic. It was fast. It was brutal. And it was cheap. Excellence without compromise. Certainly, the engineers at Rolls Royce would think that to mean something different.
(Also: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it is SUPERVAN!)
Now introducing the Adenine Valence Sport V8. Pure-bred Italian performance in your family sedan.
Normally Adenine would never be caught producing a V8 but this was a special occasion. Their friends over at Inline Designs had gotten their hands on a little bit of Italian engineering, the 8C35-15 V8 engine from JSC S.p.A Motori Speciali. Inline Designs retuned the 44VL365 variant to produce 5 more horsepower while improving efficiency. Afterwards Inline Designs insisted that Adenine put the engine into their Valence family sedan and see what could come out of it. The results were impressive: 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, top speed of 169mph, and with pretty decent economy at 24mpg. Adenine liked it so much that they decided to produce a limited edition trim of the Valence.
With the retirement of the Rapier in 1964, Petoskey Motors was left without a full size sedan. While the Cortino and Rebel were capable cars outright, Petoskey still needed something to fill the void. In 1965 the Romero was debuted. Buyer enthusiasm picked up. The car rolled off the assembly line for the 1967 model year. The car was driven by the legendary Petoskey 432 V8, the first time this engine has been used in a regular automobile. While not the most powerful variant available, it still provided reasonable power through the three speed automatic to move the two ton vehicle. The Romero proved most popular as a fleet vehicle as it was practical and reasonably priced at $17,050. This particular model is the SE trim. Priced at $18,480 the added cost was reasonable enough to make the SE trim very popular. Featuring a modified suspension, more comfortable interior, and chrome trim, the Romero SE has often been called the “Poor mans Ventnor”
Come on down and test drive a Romero today, see what Petoskey Motors most versatile car has to offer.
Ill hopefully be entering this challenge too, i want to see the results between a 60s land yacht, 50s boat, a suv and modern cars. This will be hilarious.
Also, be carefull with the cost, the cost between the open beta and the stable version is pretty different.
This danish made cruser is the Izen Ildor V8 from 2009 and you can get the stock model for just under 20000 dollars. Some say that the 4 liter V8 and the suspension was bought from an american compeny all we know is that 289 Bhp the V8 spits out is enough to get this four door station wagen up to a speed of 240 km/h (149 mph) while still being able to go 7.2 Km/l (20.3 Mpg). This is the first car Izen moters has made but it does not fall apeat at the seems so it might help make Izen a household name in the future
I was planning on submitting a vehicle like what sanguinuity made but more like a car that actually could make it into production and did decently in many markets(and already made it before seeing his car), but now I’m considering making a 70’s car.
This is an excellent idea for a challenge. I unfortunately don’t have time to enter it, but hopefully it will run smoothly and become a recurring thing!
well i didn’t see this challenge for a while and it flew like a rocket. i may make a car later if there’s still a space. not soon though, have stuff to do

This is my first time entering a competition[/quote]
You need to send me the car (or post the file here). If you donn’t know how to:
The 1978 H.A. 455 E should be an interesting addition to this challenge. Being from the Soviet era Archanian company, it was the luxury car for government officials of the time. Features include a 5.0L V8 from a heavy truck, automatic transmission and power steering, a manual locker for the rough roads, and an actual high quality interior and safety (unlike other H.A. cars) with luxurious features and an 8-track player. These were sold for $17,500 in Archania at the time, with 0% profit because Communism does not allow personal riches… excluding government officials.
This is a heavy duty wagon that was designed to be as 'murrican as possible with it’s carburated 547 CI V8 with no airfilter, catalytic converter, or mufflers for maximum air freedom, extra wide rear fenders for drag tyres, duallies, or offroad tyres plenty of chrome, steel wheels, rear leaf springs, incredible performance and a luxurious, spacious interior at the low price of 18500. Whether you are looking for a heavy duty work vehicle, a cheap sports car, a family car, or even a super or hyper car the Roadship 547 is the car for you.
) entrants from the 50’s, 60’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2010’s… This will be one fascinating competition IMO!
