Aiteria Works Adelpha

## Info

Aiteria Works Adelpha CS

The **Aiteria Works Adelpha** is a series of economy and luxury cars by Aiteria Works. It was introduced as the new flagship line of Aiteria Works in early 2023.

The Adelpha is divided into 7 main series, labelled F to A and S in order of price and performance, among a few standalone cars. Each series offers multiple variants suiting different purposes. As of March 2023, 4 series have been released (F to C Series).

## Development

The Adelpha was first proposed during a board of directives meeting on January 3rd, 2023, when the company made the decision to overhaul its production line. Many earlier platforms were starting to show a decline in popularity, and major flaws have also been revealed. As such, many lines were planned to be discontinued and replaced. Specifically, the Adelpha would succeed Coeliade with the F and E Series, while Swallowtail would be replaced by Adelpha's D and C Series, and Danaus with the B and A Series. The last series, the Adelpha S, was planned to be a line of limousines and full-size armored sedans specifically to succeed the Danaus Monarch.

The F and E Series were developed together and have been officially added to the catalogue on Aiteria Works' official website on February 10ᵗʰ, 2023. They are the cheapest series of the line, aimed to replace the Coeliade in the low-end economy market.

The next two series, the D and C Series, have made their official debut on the same day on March 1st, 2023. They are classified as luxury/sport cars, and offer a significant improvement in performance compared to previous Adelpha models. They aim to succeed the Swallowtail platform.

## Variants

### F Series

The Adelpha F Series is a series of low-end cars aimed at lower-class households. It is considered to be the most affordable Adelpha cars, as well as the worst in performance. However, the F Series offers superior fuel economy, ease of use and promises low-cost maintenance, perfect for your average salaryman who just needs a car for daily commute, as well as college students and the inexperienced.

The F Series offers a choice between a 1.4L I3 naturally aspirated engine producing 94hp, or a 1.1L I3 turbocharged engine producing 104hp. All versions are fitted with a 6-gear automatic gearbox and are FWD only.

### E Series

The Adelpha E Series offers more power and slightly better handling, coupled with a more modern design, all for a slight increase in price. It greatly suits those who want more fun in their everyday ride but cannot afford higher-end cars.

The series provides a choice of 2 responsive engines: a 2.0L I4 Turbocharged producing 186hp, or a 2.5L I4 Turbocharged producing an impressive 246hp. The engine does make the car heavier compared to the F Series, though. All E Series versions use a 6-speed automatic transmission with FWD only.

### D Series

The third series in the Adelpha line is the D Series, a stylish performance car. With a maximum power output of 316hp thanks to its twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 engine, though not as aggressive as its larger sister the C Series, the D Series promises to be a more efficient and affordable successor of the famed Swallowtail, the platform that launched Aiteria Works.

All D Series variants only offer the twin-turbo 3.0L V6 engine with rear wheel drive. However, clients may choose between the 7-speed automatic or manual transmission.

### C Series

The C Series is a powerful car that combines a sporty feeling with an elegant interior. Unlike the D Series, this car knows no subtlety and perfectly captures the spirit of the Swallowtail platform, offering an undeniably fun drive coupled with spacious legroom and multiple of the newest infotainment features.

The series offers 2 options for engine: the twin-turbocharged 3.2L V6 producing 416hp, or the roaring 3.4L V8 producing a whopping 501hp. Furthermore, similar to the D Series, both automatic and manual transmission are available to choose, though both only have RWD.

### B Series

The B Series is a perfect combination of performance and comfort and is specifically tailored for those who prefer luxury over sportiness. With ample interior space and an advanced infotainment system, featuring separate screens for the backseats in all models, the B Series is the car of any self-respecting executive.

Its drivability is no laughing matter either: though only have a single option for engine configurations, the series' uncommon V10 engine layout sings its harmony at 569hp, capable of pushing the car over 100bps (172mph). All B Series models use a RWD drivetrain configuration and offer a choice between automatic and manual transmission.

### Other variants

#### Adelpha Utility

The Adelpha Utility is an Australian/NZ market exclusive utility car. Do not let the F Series-esque exterior fool you; this car comes with a turbocharged 2.3L I4 with a top output of 222hp, even more powerful than the E Series's smaller engine option. The Adelpha Utility offers a 6-speed automatic transmission with rear wheel drive.
