Balistreri

Automobili Balistreri is a premium Italian automobile manufacturer that produces luxury terrestrial and hover vehicles for both civilian and racing use. Based in the Elysian Heights borough of Jade City on the continent of Albion in Hyperion, Balistreri is owned by Sperling AG, which in itself is a German subsidiary of the Japanese Hinata Group. It operates thousands of dealerships across the Core, with the most amount of locations on Earth, Tellus, and Hyperion.
== Overview ==
Balistreri was originally created by Alberto Balistreri following the collapse of Earth-centric automobile corporations as a result of supporting the Coalition of Congressional Republics during the Corporate Revolution in the 2240s. Many Italian corporations at the time, such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, were transferred to the control of the new Sperling automobile megacorporation, which was in turn purchased by the Hinata Group. Alberto, a high-ranking member of Sperling, was granted the rights to consolidate Ferrari and Lamborghini assets together and organize a new subsidiary corporation under his purview.
In the modern day, Balistreri is one of the largest luxury and supercar companies, only rivaled in scope by Kanetomi Motors, Stelzner, and Imperial.
== Vehicles ==
The vehicles manufactured by Automobili Balistreri are some of the highest quality consumer vehicles on the market, only being beaten by the hyperspecific and tailored-to-order Royale corporation.
Their introductory vehicle, the terrestrial Starlette, was the first post-Corporate war luxury sports car model to exist, and was created with the help of Ferrari and Lamborghini engineers that were inducted into the corporation. With an opening purchasing quantity of nearly 10,000 vehicles in 2250, the eventual success of the Starlette with corporate elites allowed Balistreri to expand their horizons. The first Balistreri aerodyne, the Starlette Aero, was released in 2253 and cemented the corporation's share in both luxury terrestrial and hover vehicles.
Their most recent release is the limited edition Balistreri Supernova, which has been equipped with a novel RME 700 Hesperochiron hypermagnetic electric motor and released on January 2nd, 2698. 15 of these vehicles have already been purchased out of a max pool of 20. The president of the Stellar Republic of Hathor, Alexander Foulke, owns one of such a rare vehicle.
