Ooo!, it seems Verdana Venture Ink Inc has made the II serious modernization track version for one of the challenges in autosports. This specially produced exclusive version differs from the first one in that it’s sharpened for track drifting. (Or for the cool illegal Japanese boys who are ready to tune their cars for the sake of speed, drag and drifting).
The basis of the philosophy of this configuration is high-class drifting for experienced masters. And in this car everything is made according to Feng-Shui, but without extremes, all according to classics. We all know that 90 - degree drifting is not the limit for Japanese, they easily produce cars, capable of drifting all 360 and 720 degrees, going synchronously and beautifully, one after another. But in this complectation - VVII Power Mano Stry Modernization II - there is a usual rear drive, without a huge amount of tracking electronics. The powertrain here is quite balanced, but its power won’t amaze anyone. And without specifying details you’ll never know how good this car is. Now then, its weight makes 1,312 kg. I agree, for a car wishing to compete with KEI class of highly-compact bodyworks, which have appeared under protection of severe Japanese realities, it is quite a lot, and even in some extent a failure. However, to make it lighter, and at the same time cheaper, has not succeeded. Accordingly, drifting will not become matching beautiful shaped trajectories, and the brakes will be constantly overheated. However, as a first start for a car enthusiast it is a good groundwork that can be tuned in different branches of development. It is not so expensive, but will require financial help from parents - $28,000 $AMU (or 47,400 Automation Money).
Unlike the first modification, the second received a higher, urban clearance, and a softer, cheaper suspension (Oooh, barely got any comfort points).
Lightness, speed, sharpness, maneuverability, cheapness and playfulness - our factory sought to follow this philosophy.
Our engineers are simultaneously high-class mechanics, drivers and pilots - no wonder that on the enthusiasm of this rumbling mixture it turned out to create this masterpiece, which combines perfectly adjusted tolerances in all nodes, connections and details to maximally reduce to zero all losses of power.
There it is, the light! The Power Mano Stry II Modernization II as it turns out, is not very simple. It includes airbags and a reinforced composite frame carcass designed to protect the driver in case of a hypothetical rollover. In it the driver has a good feel for all the nervousness of steering and speed, when moving. In particular, you will not want to keep speed over 140 km/h - you will lose confidence that the risk is justified. Nevertheless, it is capable to sustain the maximum speed of 208 km/h.
And nevertheless, this car is for an experienced driver. Its name quite good reflects the recommendation that it car should be bought you at least as a second car. Many drivers forget that in case they lose control, i.e. skid, they become helpless and passive vegetables - but do not realize it until they personally experience it. The rest of the existing plants also ignore this important problem. But the essence does not change from this - having got into a skid, the driver does not have time to turn the steering wheel fast enough and it turns out to fly out of the trajectory. It is clear that it is practically impossible to make a full wheel turn. And having watched a lot of video games, confident drivers will bravely sat behind the wheel.
Modernization II, firstly, contains a high ratio of the steering column, so the range of rotation of the whole steering wheel is a total of 360 degrees, and secondly, it uses the Know-How - varying electric power steering turns on a kind of parabola, or something similar to linearity in computer games - at the bottoms it is sensitive and weak, at highs - you can reach full amplitude without excessive steering rotation. This is somewhat unusual, and therefore, will require some habit and skill on the part of the driver. All this leads to making your car nervous and unbeatable, like on a needle, and becoming an absolute track toy in any discipline - but not in the computer, not as an RC model, but in real life! Woo! No one has ever produced anything like this before!!!

Our Factory has a special respect for the category of convertibles, because they give a sense of absolute freedom, independence, lightness, and enjoyment, which, combined with beautiful and cool chrome elements, creates a sense of aesthetic pleasure.
No wonder I like many convertibles from the 40s, 50s, 60s years - because at that time cars were still carrying some kind of their own spirit, which is difficult to interpret unambiguously. By the way, in the process of evolution it was completely lost and absolutely absent in examples of designs of modern cars. Power - yes, beauty - yes, performance - yes, exclusivity - no. When one would like something shouty and unusual. And it is not wonder, in fact everyone is afraid to create something flamboyant and isolated in the conditions of rigid competition. By the way, the problem of appearance was already a problem in the 50’s - just remember the example of a great configuration car brand Edsel - but people turned away from it just because of appearance this car and too flamboyant uncommon. Nevertheless, the direct loss whatever belonged to a firm Ford, which decided to fully distance from it. I have a 1:43 scale toy model of the Citation, and I realize how much I like it. The more you look at it, the more you marvel at the beauty of the proportions. Nevertheless, I would change some elements a bit. For example, I would make a more angular front grille, a more angular decal in the tail, and slightly more bulkier taillights.
In general, the more beautiful, refined and atmospheric a car is, the more buzz you get in the process of travels.
That is, the desire to close yourself off from everyone by narrow slits of glass and tinted, choosing a tank car – is an alien direction for me.
