Qunersoorq Works (English Pronunciation: [ko͞o-nər-so͝ork]), officially Qunersoorq Automobil Works ApS., is an automobile manufacturer active in the BW2 Community.

Currently Qunersoorq is established as a provider of automobile transmissions under the marque of the Torqersoorq Geartrains ApS., as well as an automobile manufacturer that dabbles in the European sports car market of Blocksworld. Qunersoorq’s logo consists of two bronze-coloured shapes of nordic origins, which are meant to represent the gears of Qunersoorq’s transmissions. The brand promotes no slogan at the moment.

## History

##### Founder Beginnings

Willads Abrahamsson had been a prolific mechanic living in Aarhus, Denmark. Coming from humble beginnings as a teenager working the transmission apprenticeship business, Abrahamsson found himself frustrated with the rather boring designs of everyday transmissions. Believing it was possible to build onto these ideas with greater efficiency, he took it upon himself to make better quality designs. Abrahamsson would eventually leave the apprenticeship when his mentor jokingly requested that he obtain a bachelor’s degree in automotive design and take his outlandish ideas elsewhere. Within years of leaving the transmission shop, the prodigy would graduate a valiant student, and purchase the resources necessary to start his own garage-stationed workshop. His first team of engineers consisted mostly of brothers and sisters who backed his ideas.

At this time, Abrahamsson hadn’t constructed a transmission with an identity tied to him, but the idea of this would start to take shape when dealing with a customer’s mangled transmission. Noticing strange shifting patterns in his customer’s seemingly unresponsive gear selections, he started messing with parking pawls and locking mechanisms to see what would happen. Abrahamsson had discovered the “Torqersoorq” idea through this endeavor, a unique system which separated his transmissions from his competitors.

##### The Qunersoorq Workshop

Once Abrahamsson got his Qunersoorq Works operation underway, he found that people weren’t keen on someone so unknown handling their transmissions, leading to little success in his shop, and few requests from other car companies. Abrahamsson had also been denied the right to manufacture his Torqersoorq transmissions without an approved certificate of skill, since manufacturers worried about other brands falling for the supposed schemes of his business. There weren’t enough customers to meet demands, so he ultimately decided to use this opportunity to conceptualize his first model, the Sleipnir Gauntlet.

##### Entry Into Full Production

The Sleipnir Gauntlet, which had been a great success to thrill-seeking buyers, was very marketable as a basic kit car that came with the Torqersoorq transmission. Abrahamsson hired engineers and professional production teams using the profit gained off the Gauntlet, and was able to shift the whole responsibility of Gauntlet production to Qunersoorq's own factories. The first factory, Production House Rho (Production House P) was bought in Aarhus, Denmark. Abrahamsson would later purchase another factory in Esbjerg, Denmark called Production House Delta (Production House Δ) for dabbling in project concepts and more specialized ideas. The basic kit cars grew into a proper model with rigidity and sturdiness, and Abrahamsson recalled his customers' kit cars to replace with properly assembled versions of the Gauntlet that wouldn't break from weak points.

Within months of the Gauntlet's success, Abrahamsson asked his designers to make different ideas that could be made into proper cars. One of these ideas was the Qunersoorq Dipylon. The sport saloon would be a huge success.

##### Convertible Models

With the Dipylon and Gauntlet in dealerships, Abrahamsson decided to give them a touch of ingenuity. His team had learned to manufacture convertibles, and thought to give both the Gauntlet and Dipylon these features. They are now options that can be purchased through the company and led to the creation of the AEXR exhaust system that served to assist in displacing exhaust fumes on convertible models, or for those who purchased the feature as an option.

##### Qunersoorq Today

Qunersoorq is currently producing transmissions of all types and marketing them to other brands for their vehicles, but is generally focused on making Torqersoorq Transmissions for their own vehicles. The founder has added their newest car

## Torqersoorq Geartrains, ApS.

Since the beginning, Qunersoorq has been known for it's transmissions under the Torqersoorq Geartrains, ApS. branding. Qunersoorq still continues to introduce transmissions with designs meant to improve the driving experience of its owners, and improve the acceleration times of its vehicles using its special transmission properties.

##### Transmission Operation Principles

For this explanation, the Torqersoorq Series Rho 8-Speed from the Sleipnir Gauntlet GT will be discussed. This transmission operates under the modern ravigneaux gearset principle with a total of 8 possible speeds and 1 reverse.

The upshifting process works as follows. A Qunersoorq driver starts in 1st gear with accelerating momentum. Once the Transmission Control Module reads that the RPMs are at the appropriate shift point for 2nd gear, the 2 gearsets in the “A Assembly” initiates automatically, setting the transmission in 2nd gear. The driver continues to accelerate into the RPMs most ideal for shifting into 3rd gear, and manually pushes the shifter from “A Assembly” into “B Assembly”, thus shifting the drivetrain power into the 1st gearset for 3rd gear within the “B Assembly”. Fundamentally speaking, the process repeats until all gear positions have been exhausted or downshifting occurs.

Downshifting works rather differently than upshifting. Deceleration works by downshifting through only the lettered assemblies, better described as the transmission downshifting as if it were a simple 4-speed. This reduces speed significantly within a shorter span of time. If you were to start in 6th gear in the “C Assembly”, and started shifting down, you would transfer into 4th gear in the “B Assembly”, and then down to 2nd gear in the “A Assembly”, the lowering RPMs and possible activation of the brakes telling the computer to slow down and shift from 2nd gear into 1st gear automatically, until the car eventually stops.

Park works the same as typical transmissions, with a parking pawl pushed into the teeth of the associated gear, and preventing it from motion. Neutral is also the same as typical transmissions.

## Naming Format

Transmissions:

* Transmissions made by Qunersoorq always begin with “Torqersoorq Series”.
* The first “digit” indicates what production house (in Qunersoorq) the platform belongs to. This is ever-expanding, but is limited to the Greek alphabet. This is either spelled out or the actual Greek character is used; followed by a space.
* The second "digit" indicates the number of speeds in said transmission. This is ever-expanding, but is typically formated as such "6-Speed".
* The third through ninth digits isn't in the name of the transmission itself, but is a stamped placard meant to indicate the supposed ratio and gear arrangement of the transmission. This is a secret kept in Qunersoorq Factories, and it is unknown what the serial numbers are meant to indicate, and revealing said info is considered a breach of contract under Qunersoorq's copyright of Torqersoorq Geartrains, ApS..
	+ Example: Torqersoorq Series Rho 6-Speed (Serial 856 W9W2)

Engines:

* The first digit indicates what engine type it is. Qunersoorq classifies different engine types as different evolutions of the engine mentioned. Most will begin with "1" for being the first of its kind in the brand. If the engine is a redesigned version, it will be labelled with a "2" or "3" and so forth.
* The second digit will always be a "Q", which is short for Qunersoorq.
* The third (and sometimes fourth) digit(s) indicates how many cylinders the engine comes with. In instances where the car uses an electric zero-emissions engine, a "V" is used in place of the cylinder-count.
* The fourth digit indicates what aspiration the engine uses. These are accounted into the following categories. Naturally Aspirated "1", Single Supercharger "2", Single Turbocharger "3", Double Supercharger "4", Double Turbocharged "5", and Electric "6". If an engine is supercharged and turbocharged, the bigger number will be used followed by the smaller number.
* The fifth digit indicates what overhead camshaft style the engine uses. This is accounted into the following categories. Single Overhead Camshaft (SOHC) "F", Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) "G", and Electric "V"
* The sixth digit indicates what the range is on the electric style of engines. This is absent in cylinder-operated engines. After a hyphen and a "T" is added after "V6V", the trip is listed with a value between "1" and "1500" under the miles spectrum of distance.
	+ Example 1: 1Q81F (Engine Type 1, Qunersoorq, 8-Cyl, Naturally Aspirated, SOHC)
	+ Example 2: 1QV6V-T1234 (Engine Type 1, Qunersoorq, Electric, Electric, Electric, Trip Distance 1,234 miles)

## Trivia

* The brand Qunersoorq Works is one of the few brands to use a distinct shade of bronze for it's accent markings instead of a traditional silver, such as the ones found on it's square-shaped grill and rims.
* The Qunersoorq Gauntlet has the most trim levels out of the brand's lineup.
* Qunersoorq has two models in it's lineup, the Sleipnir Gauntlet, and Fenrir Dipylon. All of which use the Inline-8 engine that is unique to the brand.
