Here the contestants.
##1999 Galt Automotive Kyaria SP1
###4L 227HP 17000$
One word: BOOORING, a normal van, 7 standard
seat, a lot of space inside. But wait, can you hear it? Is a rombling sound of
a 4L V8, with 227HP and an awful economy rating….
##1996 FSO Hussar V8 Combi
###3L 176HP 14000$
In 1997 this was the best selling sport wagon,
why? Very good performance and decent comfort at a quite low price. A V8 for
everyone. Plebeians
##2016 Bell Lexarion V8DHe
###4,4L 264HP 20000$
The newer and more expensive version of the Hussar,
the real premium sedan, WOW, so exciting, much power.
##1987 Erin Berlose Lex+ 2.6
###2,6L 146HP 16500$
A living mith, in the 80’s all the petrolheads with children dreamed of buyng one of this, cheap to mantain, fun to drive and pretty good looking, only one drawback: NO POWER AT ALL
##1967 Peotoskey Romero SE
###7.1L 246HP 15000$
HORN SOUND, please make way for 'MURICAAAAAA. An extra large ship, with an helipad on the trunk and space for spare engine under the bonnet.
##1953 ECV Rune FT
###2L 100HP 10000$
The granny, the oldest of the lot, stilish interior, a classic body but wait… where is the power???
##2016 Adenine Valence Sport V8
###3,5L 370HP 19500$
370HP under the bonet, breathtaking acceleration, but with a battery chinese stereo. Who needs music when you ha a
V8?
##1991 Bogliq Fox GT300
###3,5L 246HP 19500$
If you are confortable to let your children sit on the engine, this is the car for you. P.S. there are no space for toys here.
##2013 AEM Superbia
###9.6L 885HP 20000$
885HP Cubed, sorry, in a cube, with a massive 10L engine.
##1978 H.A. 455 E
###5L 285HP 17500$
Can you hear it? It’s the Mafia sound, some say if you buy this car you receve a free Tommy Gun.
##1960 Routemaster Tourer Refitted
###3,5L 227HP 20000$
What the hell they have done here? A new block in an old car? Really, i can’t get it. P.S. I love suicide doors.
##2009 Izen Ildor V8
###4L 289HP 15000$
Large and heavy, i don’t like the plastic interior, but it’s useful with child
##1978 Roadship 547 LE
###9L 781HP 12000$
Oh, what a day! What a lovely day! Witness me. (Mad Max reference) A chrome car? Seriusly? Roads? Where we are going we don’t need roads (ok, i stop, i’m sorry) but we’ll need a ton of fuel (2km/l 5mpg)
##1969 ANZ Motors Buzzsaw 2.8v8
###2,8L 95HP 12000$
Have you fastened your seat belt? Yes! U DON’T NEED THAT, it’s a death machine.
##1988 Storm Star GX
###3,4L 363HP 19500$
Remember to tie you child to the seat, it can fly away at 250km/h. Plus you have all the space for cargo you need, the sky is the limit (litteraly).
##1985 F Wagon Traveller
###4L 201HP 12000$
One of the biggest engine of the lot. It looks so small in here. P.s. remember to purchase a stair to get on board.
##1963 Eagle Automotive Co. El Govnor LX
###4,5L 192HP 13500$
Bling Bling baby. You know what’s the most purchased mod for this car? Hydraulic Suspensions. Bouncing Hydraulics. And big subwoofers.
##1998 Mive F1
###4L 289HP 20000$
It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane…It’s a van. At 300km/h (200mph). Expensive, but soooo good.
The first envelope:
After the break.
