A Forty-One driving along a beach, seen from the front.

After the success of the U8, and the 50th Anniversary of Jacobson Automobiles, Jason decided to re-brand the company once more, to JM, referencing once again both his grandfather, Jacobson Merkler’s, initials, and his own, as well as a new era for the company. For the 1991 year, Jason decided to make a special, limited edition car, called the Forty-One. It was popular, and successful, but was, again, only a limited edition car, only in production for that 1 year.
Di Inferi Mithra

1973 Di Inferi Mithra

The Di Inferi Mithra was introduced as a rally homologation special in late 1971. Featuring a mid-mounted transverse V6 engine producing 200 horsepower, the Mithra proved extremely agile and maneuverable - however, it was also prone to snap oversteer and the brakes tended to lock up during intense use. Regardless, it became esteemed for its rapid handling and lightness, helping it win multiple rallies through the 1970's.

A total of 612 Mithras were produced between 1971-1975, 208 of which were Stradale models.

The Mithra was succeeded in 1982 by the Di Inferi R369.

## Performance

### Top speed

~220 km/h (135 mph)

While the Mithra was exclusively a road car, the Stradale was derived from homologation requiring road cars to be built directly based on the race car. The Stradale was somewhat lighter, as well as having wider tires and no bumpers. Furthermore, the black plastic surrounding trim was painted in body color, though the black rear spoiler was retained. Finally, all units of the Stradale were equipped with two rear-view mirrors on both sides.

Due to the U.S. safety and bumper regulations at the time, the Stradale was exclusively sold in European markets. 208 Stradale units were produced in total before production stopped in 1975.

Di Inferi Pardus SR

Di Inferi Pardus SR Evoluzione (#7 Fujisaki) at Safari Rally, Kenya (1986)

The Di Inferi Pardus SR is a homologated race car built for Group B rally by manufacturer Di Inferi between 1984-88. Replacing the rear-wheel drive R369, the Pardus utilized an all-wheel drive system for improved traction on loose surfaces as well as being easier to drive. It is based on the road-going Di Inferi Pardus.

Introduced in late 1984 as a prototype, the Pardus SR was briefly produced alongside the R369 until mid-1985, though it was not entered in any events until after the R369 had ended production. While both cars used the same 2141cc I4 engine, the Pardus SR further tuned the turbocharging system to produce upwards of 450+ horsepower, which was over 100 more than the R369.

While the R369 had entirely focused on lightness and agility, the Pardus SR's all-wheel drive system essentially negated the instability the mid-engine layout created. This led to a car which was slightly heavier, but overall much more powerful as well as easier to control at high speeds and on loose surfaces.

The Pardus SR proved a very capable car on the rally courses, though early models were plagued with overheating issues. The engine cooling was quickly deemed insufficient in hot environments, and the distinct large rear window vents were added shortly after its introduction. Further modification was performed in 1986, being aptly named the "Evoluzione". The Evo featured slightly higher power output, though the visual modifications were most notable. The top-mounted wing was made larger and more aerodynamically efficient, while the front splitter was extended. This eclipsed the need for the previous large canard-style lip, which was removed entirely.

While regulations of Group B rally mandated that 200 road-going "Stradale" units be built, it is likely a much lower number were produced. This is likely due to the slow pace of production as well as the high price. This has further led to the road-going Stradale to command very high prices among collectors.

The Group B Pardus SR was supposed to be succeeded by the Group S Pardus PSR, but Group B and S' cancellation meant these plans fell through. Instead, it was reworked for the now-in-focus Group A.
87: Smite Tower

## Summary

A sleepwalking Lank makes a break for it, sliding down a chain through the hole in the floor where the elevator goes, but Batthwack cuts the chain and the resulting fall brings Lank back to his senses.

## Trivia

* The episode title quotes Eric. Lank stole Batthwack's holy symbol during another of his sleepwalking episodes, and the dragonborn to gave chase with his characteristic single-mindedness and determination. Fortunately Lank snapped out of his stupor when Batthwack cut the chain he was hanging on to and he crashed through one of the tower floors below. With Batthwack bearing down on him from above, Lank was then understandably keen to call off the dogs. Greg: *"I'm going to pull out the holy symbol and hand it to Batthwack."* Alex: *"Can he reach me?"* Eric: *"Not yet."* Greg: *"I'm going to hand it toward Batthwack."* Alex: *"Oh, you're holding it out toward me? Oh dude, that just saved all our lives!"* Eric: *"Batthwack just got a spell called* Smite Tower *he was just about to cast."* Greg: *"If I can't have this holy symbol, no-one can!"*

Helron Atlantic

2008 "dream big" Advert, featuring Jonny Lemming

The Helron Atlantic is a luxury rebadge of the 5th Generation Omota Grand Transvan

Revealed in 2008 alongside the 5th Generation Transvan, the Atlantic features most things from the Omota Counterpart. It has a new Helron fascia, rear end, sunroof and a modified interior.

The Helron Atlantic is still being sold today due to excess amounts of the MPV being made, meaning it is technically selling longer than the 5th Generation Transvan did.

In 2005 rumours had surfaced that Helron planned a partnership. Whilst the Helron/Brancaster partnership happened two months earlier, this was said to be a partnership between another American brand. On June 22nd 2007, it was confirmed by the designer of the Grand Transvan, Jacob Ericson, that he was involved with said partnership. On February 15th 2008, the announcement was made and renderings of both the Grand Transvan and the Atlantic were leaked a few days later.

**In Media**

On Turn Signals, presenter Jonny Lemming was infamously made fun of due to his love for the Atlantic from his co presenters. He said that "I am an avid fan of Helron... ...more than happy to help them out". He later used the sibling motor, the Omoto Grand Transvan Facelift, in the 2013 "Parents Ferry" Challenge.

The 2008 Advertisement "Amazing car, amazing mind", features the three main characters from 2002s Jackie Edsons Cartoon show. This is the last time that the trio were seen animated.

2012s "Ryder" features a Helron Atlantic as a car in the start scene. As protagonist Mack Daily attempts to steal a car, he is less than happy to find that his ride is the Atlantic, proclaiming "now I have to drive grandma's taxi!"

The Irkland Lark was a large sedan sold by Irkland from 1978 until thier demise in 1986. It was the testbed for Helron's "Bork" Diesel engine, which was unsuccessful due to engines putting out a much lower power output than intended.

In 1997 a mass crushing event happened for these cars due to how unsafe they were. Owners of these cars brought them to the event and crushed, burnt and wrecked them.

**In Media:**

In 1993s "Sally Mays Amaysing Weekend", Sally May, the protagonist, owns a 1982 Irkland Lark. It is modified with a mass amount of stickers, a surfboard and lowered suspension. Though not visual, the car is also shown to have some internal damage to the running gear. The car also functions as her house, and it is dubbed "The Queens Quarters".

Di Inferi Inara

Di Inferi Inara

The Di Inferi Inara was a supercar produced by Di Inferi from 1993 till 1997. Utilizing both a brand new chassis and a brand new engine, the Inara was notable for its extremely high top speed, being capable of 350 km/h.

## History

The Inara started as a prototype as early as 1989, mainly as a proof of concept towards a new generation of round and sleek supercars. The Inara Prototype is currently on display at the Di Inferi headquarters in Ravenna, Italy.

The Inara eventually started gaining traction in the early 1990's, as the Di Inferi Inizio was becoming outdated. Whlle the Di Inferi DC221 would be slated for production at the same time as the Inara, the project still went ahead as a Le Mans-oriented supercar for the road. Focusing on top speed and a distinct, aerodynamic design, the Inara would incorporate several advanced technologies in its construction.

Production of the Inara began in 1993 and ended in 1997, with a total of 122 cars produced.

## Inara LT

The "LT" (longtail) Inara started production in 1996, as the road-legal homologated version of the Inara.

The LT was meant as a homologation special of the Inara to allow it to enter the GT1 series - however, the Inara LT differentiated so much from the original model that Di Inferi was required to produce a production road-legal car which it could base the new race cars on. A total of 6 Inara LTs were produced. While only one road-legal example was required for homologation, customer demand drove Di Inferi to produce another five to satisfy it.
Di Inferi Spettro I

1965 Di Inferi Spettro

The Di Inferi Spettro was a personal luxury sportscar produced between 1964 - 1968 before being replaced by the Spettro II.

Using a 3.6 liter straight-six engine, the early-production Spettro was regarded as somewhat underpowered and outdated. This was later rectified with the introduction of a detuned V12 engine from the race car.

The Spettro was available as either a coupé or a 2+2, though the latter saw limited sales.
Franciscus T. Crapper

Franciscus Crapper in 1907.

East-Groningen, Netherlands

Franciscus T. (Thobias) Crapper (B. October 23, 1840, D. August 1, 1912, Age 71) was the father of Elijah Crapper, founder of Crapper Motors. In an interview with Elijah during his life, he recalled always being fascinated with his father's job in the carriage taxi business. He was fascinated with the carriage designs, how they moved, how they worked. With the invention of the automobile in the early 1900s, he knew he wanted to become an automobile maker. Elijah was around 10 at the time, in 1903. Thus this was also the start of a popular rival company in 1903, starting the sale of automobiles to people around the world, effectively ending the horse-drawn carriage era. This put Franciscus out of a job in 1904. Elijah and his father had a very good relationship, and his father helped him to get to his goal of becoming an automaker, and even collaborated on early designs of Elijah's automobiles, such as what would become the Crapper, Elijah's first automobile. Franciscus was very proud of Elijah.

Franciscus Krapvoort was born in Holland, and later immigrated to the United States of America in 1868. It is thought that his family's surname was either misheard, misread, or just simplified by immigration officers, to, "Crapper".

Franciscus got a job in the carriage taxi business in 1880, building horse carriage taxis.

Franciscus married his wife, Hilda E. (Elisabeth) Bakker (B. September 5, 1841, D. April 9, 1919, Age 77), on August 23, 1861. They tried having kids for many years but were unsuccessful.

Unfortunately, Franciscus had finally become a father very late in his life, at 52, and would only go on to live another 20 years, until 1912, when Elijah was 19. Elijah remembers the last words he and his father spoke together.  Elijah spoke to his father, telling him how he will be known throughout the world and that his father would be proud of him someday. Franciscus responded with, "My son, I already am.".

Di Inferi DC221

Di Inferi DC221

The Di Inferi DC221 is a supercar manufactured by Italian automaker Di Inferi. It was produced between 1991 - 1996 in Ravenna, Italy, when production was stalled earlier than planned due to financial contraints.

## Development history and design

The DC221 underwent a long period of designing and prototyping before coming to realization, some early sketches dating back to 1985. The Di Inferi Inizio was used extensively as the testing platform for the DC221, though the eventual final DC221 would carry much larger dimensions than the very compact Inizio.

The final design of the DC221 would not appear until late 1990, when a clay model bearing a similar design to the final product was constructed. Di Inferi was pleased with this somewhat wedge-shaped design, retaining styling cues similar to the Inizio while also experimenting with new features such as drop-down headlights, similar to that of the concurrent Sirius Aeromotive WR-2. The headlights themselves were mounted close to the middle of the hood, with vents on each side.

The middle grille between the lights would later be nodded to by the Di Inferi Serapis.

Finally, the DC221 utilized an all-wheel drive drivetrain - this helped stability and acceleration, but some expressed grief that this may cause the car to behave more tame than Di Inferi was known for.

## Unveiling

The DC221 was unveiled in early 1991, featuring an aluminium body mated to a 3.5 liter twin turbo V12 engine. The design language received mixed opinions.

The 2nd generation DC221 was revealed in 1994, retaining similar styling but increasing horsepower, as well as being significantly lighter.

## Performance

### Top speed

~360 km/h

The DC221 Ultra Sport was unveiled just one year after the original, sporting few external changes but several internal changes. Curb weight was lowered by almost 120 kilograms, mainly by fitting a much more spartan interior as well as shedding unnecessary weight. Furthermore, horsepower was increased from 611 to 681 horsepower by fine tuning the turbochargers, allowing the Ultra Sport to achieve a top speed of up to 360 km/h, though this was never verified.

The transmission was fine tuned in an attempt to eliminate turbo lag, and the torque distribution had increased emphasis on the rear to eliminate understeer. Large roof intakes were added to improve cooling flow, and rear bumper vents were fitted to further assist in cooling.

## Discontinuation

The DC221 proved very expensive to manufacture due to the use of many new technologies such as the carbon monocoque chassis and complex drivetrain system. Di Inferi was making a miniscule profit on every vehicle sold, however, it was not enough to offset costs of further testing and development. As a result, the DC221 was discontinued in early 1996, just 5 years after launch.

Remaining unfinished DC221 cars were either sold off as custom orders, or used as test mules by Di Inferi. One DC221 was extensively used to test the Di Inferi Serapis.
Dwaynewright Hoover

The Dwaynewright Hoover was a minivan sold from 1988 to 1993.

The Dwaynewright Hoover was  Dwaynewright’s first minivan, and the first vehicle made by Gary Dwaynewright. Produced in the late 80s to early 90s, from 1987 to 1993, it lasted for 5 model years, and was successful.  The styling stayed the same for the entire production run, and it eventually became too outdated and by 1992 sales dropped. The Hoover was the last vehicle made in the 80s by Dwaynewright.

It came in several trims: The Hoover HVA, or Base, the Hoover HVS, or Sport, and the Hoover HVX, or Luxury.
Brio XR54

The Brio XR54 is a Compact Van produced by Brio Automotive Corporation since 2014. The XR54 is sold primarily as a fleet vehicle in North America, but is available for single-purchase via Brio's website. It is also sold in Chile to rival the Chevrolet N300. The van replaced the Brio Cove, which was outdated and was losing sales, which led to the removal of the Cove in 2012. Most Sales from the XR54 head towards small business fleet sales, with four cargo bay options being "empty", "painters choice", "plumbers choice", and "Your Choice".
Crapper Motors Matraz

The Crapper Motors Matraz was an economy-focused car, sold for two generations from 1986 until 1997.

## Body and chassis

### Suspension

MacPherson Strut (F)Semi Trailing Arm (R)

## Performance

### Top speed

~ 98.4 - 113.2 mph

The Crapper Motors Matraz was an economy vehicle, designed by Elijah Crapper II. It was planned in 1985 and put into production in August 1986. It was sold from 1987 until 1992, and was decently successful. It had many interesting and unique features and design choices, mainly due to economic / cost concerns. These included cost-cutting features like only one singular windshield wiper, a keyhole that unlocked the hood, and cheap plastic detailing. The standard, tan-yellow paint color was known as, "Baked Apple".

## Second Generation

## Body and chassis

### Suspension

MacPherson Strut (F)Semi Trailing Arm (R)

## Performance

### Top speed

~106.6 - 106.7 mph

The second generation Matraz was produced and sold from 1992 until 1997. The car was based off of a previously unreleased car by Elijah J. Crapper II that was planned in 1990 and intended to be sold in 1991, known as the Igneous. The car was updated with a fresh, new design that was much more well-received than the previous generation's styling. It was also updated with a 1.9 Liter engine, up from the first generation's 1.5. The transmission was downgraded to a 3-speed for efficiency, with each gear going up to 60, 80, and 100 mph, respectively.

The car had sold successfully, however it was losing traction in 1995.

**1995 Facelift**

In May 1995, a facelift was issued, updating the then-outdated design. The front fascia was redesigned slightly, receiving new headlamps, and the taillights were slightly modified so that the indicators were on the top and the reverse lights on the bottom. The hubcaps were also updated to a more modern, stylish design for the times.

This boosted sales slightly, but unfortunately not by enough, and so the Matraz was put out of production in November 1997.

The car was phased out in favor of the 1997-2003 Rentis.
Coronet Cesium

A 1990 Cesium, race version.

The Coronet Cesium was a race car produced from December 1989 to October 1991, and sold from 1990 to 1991.

The car was made to be a race car and also had a homologation version which was required for the car to participate in races.

### Homologation Version

The homologation version was a more luxury-oriented car with 2 seats versus 1, a cloth interior and power windows. The engine was electronically limited to 155 mph. Federally required bumpers were added to the road-going version as well as an antenna for the radio. The car was surprisingly practical given it's racing roots, with a center console storage cubby, and a small boot in the front. Approximately 500 of the cars were made. The 500th car rolled off of the production line in October 1991, painted in a special golden color and had body-colored bumpers, chrome rims, and a special dark grey leather interior. The car was signed by the factory workers who built the car and a special "500" plaque was fitted on the passenger dash glovebox.

### **Backstory**

After the first success in 1989 with Hawthorne's Gryphon, CM wanted to try and reinvigorate Coronet, selling a car that was similar, albeit more luxurious, than the Gryphon, in an attempt to save Coronet, since they bought Hawthorne because of the struggles of the Coronet brand.

Throughout mid-1989, Coronet worked on planning and designing the car, as well as an engine that was similar to a Hawthorne engine, so that it could compete with the Gryphon. Coronet used the Gryphon's platform as a base and created their own race car.

### **Racing**

The Cesium ran it's first race in early 1990, coming in the Top 10. Further races yielded similar results. By 1991, they were Top 5. In 1992, they dipped between Top 5 and Top 10. However, by 1993, the cars, 4 years old at the time, started to struggle in races, dipping further down into the Top 10s, 15s, and 20s.

By 1994, Coronet realized the car would not be able to win any races and subsequently scrapped the idea, withdrawing from any future races.
Inertia Fantica

The 2001 Fantica QE

The Inertia Fantica was a Mid-Size wagon produced by Inertia Automotive Industries from 1998-2005. It was a decent seller for Inertia, but lacked the design the original concept, the Inertia XWagon, had. The First Generation only lasted for 3 Years, 1998-2001, and 4 years for the second generation. The wagon was badged as the Omota Terbium In countries outside of North America, Select parts of South America, and China. In China production continued until 2008, with a second mild refresh for 2007. The Terbium was also sold in China along the Physica and Fantica.

## Discontinuation

The Fantica was discontinued along with the similar Inertia Vertical, which were both selling poorly at the time. They were both succeeded by the Helium, which the wagon variant was discontinued for 2013 second generation, while the sedan saw its demise later in 2018, along with the 7-Hundred.
Di Inferi Aracena

1971 Di Inferi Aracena in Giallo Aracena

The Di Inferi Aracena is a 2+2 GT car by Di Inferi. Designed by Ottavio Consoli, the Aracena is a counterpart to the Di Inferi Spettro II, created to fill a gap in the American market.

## History

Di Inferi had struggled to enter the American market previously to the Aracena, with models such as the Spettro I and Spettro II selling poorly. As a result, the Aracena opted for a slightly shortened wheelbase whilst retaining the 2+2 layout. Additionally, the kammback rear seen on the Spettro II was dropped in favor of a more conservative design. Furthermore, the Aracena was significantly lighter than the Spettro II, leading to superior handling and faster acceleration - that being said, cabin and cargo space was reduced.

Similarly to the Spettro II, the Aracena was available in both a 2-seater variant as well as a 2+2. The 2-seater was phased out in 1976 after low sales as well as the discontinuation of the Spettro II, becoming a write-in option on request.

The name "Aracena" comes from a region in Spain where fighting bulls are bred.

The Aracena shared some of its internals with the Spettro II, namely the transmission, seats, pieces of the dashboard, suspension and certain optional wheels - available with both 5-lugs aluminium and magnesium centerlocks. It also shared some parts with the earlier Di Inferi Solomon, though this was mostly limited to internals and wheels.

## Performance

### Top speed

~290 km/h

In 1983, the Aracena received an upgraded, turbocharged edition with significantly improved performance. It was designed to imitate the Group 5 Aracena race car, using flared fenders and large bottom skirts. Though this version outperforms the previous generation, it was expensive to produce and therefore lived a short production life.

## Special Editions

The Aracena received several special editions, though they were mostly unchanged in exterior with major changes to the internal components. That being said, there are still certain models of significance.

#### Ottavio Consoli

The designer of the Aracena, Ottavio Consoli, also worked extensively with testing the car himself. For his efforts, he was in 1972 gifted an Aracena of his choosing. He would later this year modify the car with the help of Di Inferi.

This Aracena, named after its creator, drops the flip-headlights in favor of a still and low-mounted front. Bumpers and rear seats are removed to save weight, and the suspension is extensively reworked to be stiffer. Furthermore, compression was upped and the exhaust system changed, leading to increased horsepower output. The black-on-white custom paint has lead to the nickname "Blacktop", referring to the word for asphalt.

Di Inferi Espion

A Di Inferi Espion in Arancio Tramonto

The Di Inferi Espion was a supercar manufactured by Di Inferi between 2007 - 2014. The Espion sits below the Signa in Di Inferi's lineup.

## History

Plans for the Espion originate as early as the late 1990's, as Di Inferi was experimenting with a lightweight sportscar to sit below the flagship cars. Using the Inizio as test mules for the V10 engine, the Espion was spied multiple times through the early 2000's.

The Espion was officially revealed in mid-2006, and beginning production later the same year as a 2007 model year. It was designed by Fox Foulke, being his first design at Di Inferi. He would later go on to design the Signa TS560, among others.

## Specifications

Designed with lightness in mind, the Espion's curb weight is just 1240kg. The engine is a naturally aspirated V10 producing 505 horsepower, mounted in the middle of the chassis. The Espion uses a 6-speed sequential transmission, and is rear-wheel drive.
Jacobson Merkler

Jabson Merkler was the founder of Jacobson Autos.

He founded Jacobson Autos on September 9, 1940, at age 37.

Jacobson in 1952, age 49.

Jacobson was fascinated by cars from a young age.  He went off to college to learn about how to make them, and started his business right before the war, in 1940. His first car, the Jacobson 41, which only was built in 1941, was a success. The cars were hand-built at the time, with minimal factory labor. Jacobson was fairly poor at the time and had to take out loans. After the Jacobson 41, he was able to expand his factory by a small amount to increase production, and get an assembly line.

He married his wife, Maria Williams, on May 3, 1939.

He later retired in August 17, 1968, at age 65.
