Durham CS2

1956 Durham CS2 G-P in Italy

The Durham CS2 is a sports and race car developed and produced by British manufacturer Durham between 1955 - 1959. Originally intended for Le Mans, it went on to enjoy limited production as a road-going performance roadster as well.

## Background

In 1955, it was revealed that for the 1956 season, the World Sportscar Championship rulebook would be changed so that it no longer only allowed race cars directly based on road cars. This opened the possibility of creating a purpose-built race car, which Durham immediately set to work with. The end result was the CS2, a successor to the earlier CS road car.

## History

Debuting in the 1956 season, the CS2 was quickly found to be very fast, but mechanically fragile. It frequented transmission and drivetrain issues, which was quickly resolved when a purpose-built 5-speed manual transmission was fitted to all models from mid-1956 and onwards.

After the transmission switch, the CS2 came to hold its own in multiple classes. After the World Sportscar Championship restricted engine size to 3 liters or less in 1958, the CS2 was left unscathed and once again began taking victories. Durham retired the car in 1959 in favor of the CS3 as well as other more specified projects, and most of the CS2s were sold off to private parties. As of 2017, Durham retains three original CS2 chassis'.

Drivers generally noted the CS2 to be a very forgiving car to drive, being easy to control and relatively comfortable for a racing car. Its conventional front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout aided in stability which made it excellent for endurance racing where concentration was paramount. It was, however, very heavy, at just over 1 metric ton. This, combined with the front-engine layout meant its cornering ability as well as fuel economy was somewhat impaired compared to mid-engined rivals, which would come to plague it in its last few seasons.

## Road car

The CS2 enjoyed limited production as a road-going model, named the CS2-S. Only 20 units were completed, making it one of Durham's rarest cars.

JM Westerner

The JM Westerner was a successful station-wagon produced by JM Automobiles for two generations.

It was the first vehicle to use the *JM Automobiles* name, previously being known as *Jacobson Motors*.

## Overview

### Model years

## Body and chassis

### Class

Full-size

After Jacobson Merkler left in 1968, Robert, his son, took over as owner. After the Fire in the Jacobson Motors factory in 1969, the company was in jeopardy. The company was hit hard, but survived. They rebuilt and after 2 years the factory was complete. It took an additional year to find workers, and one more to plan out a car. This car was the Westerner.

After such a big change, Robert thought a rebranding would help give the company a fresh start. He chose the name JM Automobiles, referencing his father.

The Westerner was a brand new vehicle. It needed to be exciting, and compelling; it needed to bring sales in in order for the company to make enough money to survive. It did just that, running from 1975-1979, and was successful. The Westerner was a Station Wagon. One of the more memorable model trims was the 1976-1978 Westerner Hawk, a High-Performance Model Version.

Jason also brought back the Westerner, the car his father had made, during his ownership. The new Westerner ran from 2001-2006, and came in two variants: the Westerner W10, or Base, and the Westerner W15, or Luxury Variant. It was somewhat successful.
Crapper Motors Vermontia

Front of the Crapper Motors Vermontia, fresh from the factory.

The Crapper Motors Vermontia was a luxury sedan produced from 1957 to 1960. With planning finished in July 1956, starting production in October 1956, and hitting showrooms in January 1957, it was a somewhat successful vehicle. While its styling was cutting-edge when new, it looked dated by 1959. The car was put out of production in 1960.

   The Crapper Motors Breezeville is the spiritual successor to this vehicle.

## Design

The Crapper Motors Vermontia brought back the two-tone paint job seen on the Crapper 50, and was proven to be popular.

Front turn signals were once again optional, this time with no rear turn signals offered. Reverse lights were included as standard, considered a luxury. A spare tire was included as an optional extra. Whitewall tires were standard on the vehicle. The Vermontia was the first car to offer whitewall tires by Crapper Motors. While again the design was praised for being modern, by 1959 the design was considered ugly, and after one more year the car was put out of production for good in 1960.

Ainsworth Tit

The Ainsworth Tit was a lightweight British sports car developed by Ainsworth from 1946-1954. It was intended to be a "working man's" sports car, however after the first year it was evident that the car was too expensive to appeal to a mass market, with a coupe bodystyle and 6-cylinder engine proving to be just out of reach for most people in post-war Britain. Thus, the Tit became available in soft-top form in 1947 and hard-top form in '48. The 2.7 6 cylinder engine was removed and replaced with a 2.0L 4 cylinder block originating from Maestrum, albeit tuned to squeeze out more power at the cost of reliability and fuel economy.

## History

Before the Second World War, before Ainsworth was forced to produce exclusively aero engines to meet the demands of the RAF, Wilfred Ainsworth had plans to produce a small and lightweight roadster, using engines taken from commercial vehicles and pressed steel panels to produce the bodywork, in an attempt to keep costs down.

Following 1945 Ainsworth began development of the "Type 10 New Monocoque" chassis, their first venture into modern monocoque designs. The chassis was intended to just be a prototype, however following successful testing the decision was reached to further develop the Type 10 in order to reach a production model. Bearing the internal name "George" the first prototypical Tit was unveiled to the general public at the 1946 *Salon de l'Automobile*, to a somewhat muted interest.

During the production process the name was decided upon to be "Tit", named after the songbird. It was hoped that the car would inherit the qualities of the Tit, darting acrobatically along country roads.

Throughout the next 3 months Ainsworth continued to work on the design, with the first production Tit, and the first production Ainsworth since 1939, going on sale in December 1946. Sales were slow, with most being somewhat critical of the design, both visually and mechanically. It was felt that the 2.7L 6 cylinder engine was a poor choice, with it not producing all that much power whilst being very expensive to run and maintain. The fixed-head coupe bodystyle was also criticised, stating that it made the car feel very cramped and claustrophobic.

Thus in April 1947 the design was changed, removing the fixed-head coupe bodystyle all together in favour of a fully convertible range of cars, with a hard top convertible coming in early 1948. The 2.7L LM-Series straight-six was swapped in favour of the 2.0L LN-Series inline-four, which produced around 66 horsepower when tuned by Ainsworth engineers. Paired with a slightly revised front end and the Tit's sales started to slowly tick upwards, reaching a peak for the 1st series in 1949 of around 580 sales. Overall around 700 first-generation Tits were sold, around 90 of which were the early models with the LM-Series engine. Thus, these early cars have become remarkable sought-after for collectors, with prices reaching 6 figures at auctions.
Helron Wizz Concept

2004 Helron Wizz Render

the Helron Wizz is a concept car built by Helron in 2004.

the Wizz was meant to be a revolutionary new sports car made for a 2006 release. When it was first shown, people were quick to point out that the cars looks were outdated, and that "Electric commuter vehicles had not even reached the roads, so how will a sports car work". Helron promised a 2006 release with a production amount of around 1000. In reality, only 6 prototypes were built, 3 of which were Hybrids, 2 of which were powered by Amara I4s and only one which was a full EV, which was given to testers.

**In Media**

the Wizz has found itself featured in many games due to its strangeness. Most notably, in Helron's own racing games, "Helron Auto Adventure". In these games, it was never referred to as a concept, as it was always meant to be made for release.

the Wizz also found itself at ridicule on Turn Signals, when a special guest, Jacia Valiara, was invited to drive the Wizz with Lemming. The car ran out of charge quickly, then when they tried to charge it, they found it would only work at certain angles. In the end, they decided to rule out the Wizz as a "good idea, but needs a lot of work", to which a copresenter decided to add "maybe something that could produce power through the use of burning some sort of flammable liquid could help"
Crapper Motors Crapper 50

## Crapper 50

The Crapper 50 was Crapper Motors' next vehicle, produced from 1948 until 1952. First sold in 1949, it was the first car produced after the war was over. It is considered one of the best-looking cars designed by Elijah Crapper. It was the first CM car to feature a two-tone paint job. It is the spiritual successor to the Crapper Motors Crapper-Coupe.

## Design

The Crapper 50 is known for having no optional turn signals nor reverse lights, as a cost-saving feature, after poor sales of the options on Crapper, Station-Wagon, and Crapper-Coupe models.
Di Inferi Pardus PSR

The PSR2 and PSR1 respectively.

The Di Inferi Pardus PSR project was undergone in the mid-1980's by Di Inferi as an effort to produce a car for the then-upcoming Group S rally class. As Group S was cancelled along with Group B in 1986, the project was shut down some years later, with two cars produced.

## Body and chassis

### Class

Group S (never raced)

With the success of the Di Inferi Pardus in Group B, the skunkworks at Di Inferi approved a plan to produce a vehicle to enter the upcoming Group S class. It was to be a somewhat more lenient version of Group B, with lower power output (300 bhp) in exchange for little to no other restrictions other than tire width. This also meant homologation only required 10 cars produced for the road instead of Group B's 200, which significantly increased the class' popularity amongst manufacturers.

The PSR1 project began in 1985, and was heavily based on the initial Pardus SR. The internals stayed mostly the same, though power was reportedly increased to over 650 horsepower. Driver Dominic Morgantini, previously associated with Severin, was quoted as saying *"it's almost uncontrollably fast - the mind just can't keep up,"* during a testing session. The car was extensively tested in Italy, and was displayed to the public several times. General opinions were good, though questions were posed as to whether or not Group S would even be viable considering the mounting pressure on officials after numerous Group B accidents, costing the lives of both spectators and drivers.

### Class

Group S (never raced)

After the cancellation of Group B in 1986, the PSR1 was immediately taken back to Di Inferi's headquarters in Ravenna until further notice. Plans for Group S were now uncertain, but the go-ahead was still given to produce a possible prototype with newer materials and a more advanced drivetrain. The PSR2 was completed some time between 1987-88, though otherwise very little information that details the car is publicly avaiable.

It reportedly produced 300 horsepower in racing form, as cited by regulations, but upwards of 700 in prototype form. It was also said to have been significantly lighter than the PSR1, and the exterior had been extensively redesigned to fit a more aerodynamic form. This included square headlights, a dipped down hood line and a smoother front bumper with two large splitter-blocks. Additionally, the large rear spoiler was lowered to fill a lower profile.

Other than this, not much is known about the PSR2, and its whereabouts are currently unknown.
Crapper Motors Breezeville

The Crapper Motors Breezeville was a luxury car produced by Crapper Motors for 10 years, from 1959 until 1969. It was a successful vehicle, spanning two generations, and was ultimately the car that led to the Crapper Motors Flamingo, which is considered its spiritual successor.

## First Generation

The Crapper Motors Breezeville was a luxury sedan that was the spiritual successor to the *Crapper Motors Vermontia*. With planning finished in 1959, with production starting later that year in July 1959, the Breezeville was successful, running from 1960 until 1964. It was considered a much better looking vehicle than the Vermontia. The base color offered was Wheat Yellow. Reverse Lights came standard, as did front and rear turn signals. Interiors came with premium materials. Whitewall tires were once again standard on the vehicle. A convertible model was produced alongside the base model. Elijah Crapper was very proud of how the car came out.

The second generation Breezeville offered an updated design, with planning finished in 1964, production starting in 1964, and running from 1965 until 1969, it was another successful vehicle. It featured a new base color, *Greenleaf*, a light, pale, faded green color on the car as the standard option. Interiors came with premium materials and interior bench seats, enough room for 6 people. Whitewall tires were standard. Elijah Crapper was once again proud of the vehicle, as it was a success. The car also featured hidden highway lights, something never seen before on a Crapper Motors vehicle.

## Design

The Second Generation Breezeville brought back the recessed, round brakelights and brakelight housings, this time with red turn signals mounted on the rear wings. The front fascia featured wing-mounted headlights which acted as safety lights, which housed turn signals with them also, a feature now required by law.

Di Inferi Raffica Concept (final iteration, 1973)

The Di Inferi Raffica (alternatively Raffica 73) is a 1969-73 concept car by Di Inferi.

The Raffica was an exploration of boxier, more wedged designs, and was a follow-up to the previous Corrida concept car. It had several iterations, all designed by Clara Argento, who also designed the Di Inferi Meliora.

Originally intended to be viable for production beginning in 1969, the fuel crisis in 1973 caused Di Inferi to cancel the project.

The Raffica currently resides at the Di Inferi Headquarters and Museum in Ravenna, Italy.

Luxury Vehicles

Coronet Carriages Ltd. is a manufacturer of luxury vehicles. It was founded on August 28, 1929. It was bought in 1953 by Elijah M. Crapper, owner of Crapper Motors. The first car made by Coronet was the Kingfisher, in 1932. There have been many CEOs throughout the company's history.

## History

**1920s**

Eugene Lewis grew up loving cars. He was a successful businessman, and on August 28, 1929, he founded Coronet Carriages, Ltd..

**1930s**

Eugene sold his first car, the Kingfisher, in 1932. He also developed the second and third generation Kingfishers, before retiring in 1964.

In 1936, Coronet started it's long history of racing pedigree off with the Coronet Lauderdale. The car participated in several races in 1936 and 1937.

In 1938, a new racing car was developed, the Coronet Pharaoh. The car was produced until 1942.

**1940s**

Eugene continued to produce cars, but production stopped during the war. After the war was over, he continued to produce more cars.

**1950s**

In 1953, Elijah M. Crapper bought Coronet Carriages Ltd..

**1960s**

On July 28, 1964, Eugene retired from Coronet. His son, Gerald, took over, on August 1, 1964.

**1970s**

By the late 1970s, Coronet was waning in popularity with the general public, tiring of luxury cars. This later led to the acquiring of Hawthorne Motorcars Inc. in the 1980s. More fuel to add to the fire was with the 1973-1979 Oil Crisis.

**1980s**

In 1983, a new Kingfisher was released, and finally was stable enough to continue sales until 1987. By the 1980s Coronet continued to decrease in popularity, especially after the disastrous Imperious from 1984 to 1989. In 1988, Crapper Motors acquired Hawthorne Motorcars Inc.. In 1988, a new generation of the Kingfisher was released.

**1990s**

The 1990s were the lowest point in Coronet's history, with the slowest sales of all. In the late 80s and early 90s, Coronet attempted to start a racing pedigree, beginning with the Cesium, to build image and make money. After production began in 1989, the 1990 Coronet Cesium was released, which ran until 1991. The car ultimately never won any races and the idea was scrapped in 1994, mostly a financial failure.

**2000s**

Coronet started the 2000s very weak but after the release of the Key Largo found success finally once again, and regained popularity as people started gaining interest in luxurious cars once more. In 2001, after an impressive 8 generations, the Kingfisher was put out of production for good. The eighth generation had been in production since 1995.
Karnis Baghdad

The Karnis Baghdad is a van produced by Karnis over two generations since 1983.

## First Generation

A 1984 Karnis Baghdad LXE, Front View.

The First Generation Karnis Baghdad was introduced in 1984. The van came in several trims, including the *LXE* Trim, or the Luxury trim.

The Baghdad became an instant hit in India and sold extremely well.

The LXE Model included better paint, a higher-quality interior and a spare tire on the back.

**1989 Facelift**

In 1989, a facelift was introduced for the Baghdad to modernize the design. The engine was also slightly improved in this version.

The facelift also introduced an updated interior and steering system.

The front fascia was also revised to modernize the design, and the taillights where changed to a newer, more modern design. The rims were also updated, as well as the mirror design. The engine was also updated for a higher power output.

**1996 Facelift**

In 1996, another facelift was introduced for the Baghdad. This time, the front fascia was once again changed, as were the rims, which were updated and modernized. The interior was also updated, now using a CD Player inside as well as updated Hydraulic power steering. The engine was also upgraded to be more powerful.

**2000 Facelift**

In 2000, the final facelift was introduced for the first generation Karnis Baghdad. This facelift once again updated the front and rear fascia, as well as the interior, engine, safety, rims, and more. The first generation was discontinued in 2007 after an impressive 23 years of production.

Kadett

**Kadett Motor Company**, commonly known as **Kadett**, is a South Korean multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. In 2018, Kadett’s corporate structure consisted of 115,940 employees worldwide and designs, manufactures and distributes passenger and commercial vehicles, engines, and turbomachinery. Cumulative global sales of Kadett passenger car models achieved the 3 million milestone in March of 2016.

## History

The Kadett Motor Company was founded by Choe Dae-sung in 1965 in collaboration with the Sisten Motoring Corporation as a way for Sisten to sell rebadged cars in the Korean market. Kadett’s first model, the 1600E went on sale in 1966 as the rebadged version of the American Sisten Bolide sedan. The car was a success which lead to Kadett branching out to the European market in 1970 with the small Athena sedan. While sales numbers were decent, they were not good enough to the eyes at Sisten and as such, in 1971, they brought in Timothy Parnell as the head of the newly founded Kadett of Europe. Parnell spearheaded the development of the Club supermini and hired Michael Buckingham, who would remain as the head-designer at Kadett until 1997.

The Club would turn out to be a big hit for Kadett in Europe, topping the best-selling car list for Spain in 1977. By the late 70’s however, the Sisten Motoring Corporation was restructuring and in 1978, sold their stakes in Kadett. This was an opportunity for the Korean company to enter the American market, as previously these attempts were rejected by Sisten in order not to bring in more competition from import cars. Ken Yoshi became the president at Kadett of America and helped launch the second generation Club in the US market.

By the 90’s, Kadett was expanding. This was marked by the opening of their second factory in the US and a third factory in Europe, located in Germany. Kadett Motor Company India was established in 1996 and in the same year, once again started a partnership with Sisten with them acquiring 33% of Kadett. By the 90’s, Kadett was attempting to update its image by adding more sports and luxury oriented vehicles into its growing lineup, having previously been occupied mainly by just the Vista sedan. Also within this time, the company opened a research center in the United Kingdom, with bases in Colorado, China and Australia following.

In 2000, a new factory was set up in France, built specifically for the production of the Koroma electric car. Despite slow sales in the beginning, the second generation model became one of the best-selling electric cars in the world and paved the way for Kadett Electric Department, later KERS. The financial crisis of 2007 and near-bankruptcy of the Sisten Motoring Corporation lead to them selling their stake in Kadett for the second time.

## Company

Kadett operates 10 vehicle, powertrain, and component plants and five development and test centres in five countries, employing around 50,000 people in Europe. The brand sells vehicles in more than 70 markets worldwide.
Enuly Y10

Y10 "Panorama"

The Enuly Y10 Is a Compact Sedan/Hatchback manufactured by Chinese automaker Enuly Motors from 2019-Present. It replaced the Y9 Sedan, and later the Y6 Second Facelift which had been discontinued since 2017, leaving a 6 Year gap in the Compact hatchback segment. A Facelift was announced on August 14th 2023, and started on August 29th 2023, with the new Y10-5 Being available.

## History

The Y10 was first previewed at the 2018 Guangzhou International Auto show, and sales later started on November 29th of that year, as a 2019 Model year. It sits on the same platform as the Nav DOS and Junjai Compact vehicles. In 2020 the partnership with Omota Motor Corporation aloud Enuly to import Y10's and other vehicles to places such as Mexico and Latin America.

### 2023 Facelift

A Facelift was issued for the 2024 Model year, and reintroduced a Y-Series hatchback. The Facelift targets only the Front Fascia with a new larger grille, headlights, and vents, with rear being changed only a small amount. The Y10 Facelift also was shown with the facelifted Hanjui.

6.2 Litre Flat Plane V8 RLA

The Helron Callamester is Helron AUs main product. It is often regarded as the most popular car in Australia.

This car spawned the infamous RLA Crate engine

the 3rd Generation Helron Callamester is the only generation that was not entered in a racing series by the Company themselves, as they used the Helron Lance instead. The Helron Callamester is instead famous for being an Australian police car, as it was usable and abusable. The car features the famous RLA Crate Engine and was the first car to use it.

The car was exported into the UK and was sold by Brancaster as the Worland. This was officially the first Helron that was not built in Europe to be sold in the UK, followed by the Lance in 2015 which was seen as a replacement. It was only sold there with the RLA Crate engine. This was the only time that Helron partnered with Brancaster

The VX360 may have had the famous RLA Crate engine, but the car itself was not too popular. Reviewers complained about how uncomfortable and loud it was, and that for a sporty version of a standard sedan, it was more like a racecar that was trying to be a roadcar

**4th Gen:**

the 4th generation of the Helron Callamester is sold as a sedan only, and is a rebadge of the 2012 Omota Yuma. This is still sold to this day as the 2015 Helron Callamester. Unlike the Helron Atlantic, this is literally just a rebadge of said car. By technicality, this is the only way to get a Yuma from factory now after being replaced by the Omota Lean.

This generation is known as the "Dying Breath" generation due to the car being all Omota parts

One of Jason’s ideas for the company was to bring back old cars and modernize them. One of these cars was the Grand Maria, a car last in production in 1968. With planning finished in 1989, and starting production in 1990, this new generation of the vehicle was also very popular, running from 1991 to 1999, just before the new millennium. A Luxury and Sport model were also produced.

**Taxi Package**

A Taxi Package was also released by JM, allowing for the vehicle to be purchased for fleet purposes.

A yellow color scheme with taxi markings was standard on the vehicle.

**Police Package**

Another notable package was the Police Package. With a black color scheme with white doors, the Police Package was a popular variant among law enforcement.

## Body and chassis

### Body styles

4-door sedan

After the success of the previous generation Grand Maria, it was brought back for the 2003-2007 model years. Once again successful, it also had the same model trims as before. However, it was criticized for almost looking outdated, with one critic saying it "looked like it came out of 1985, or 1987, or possibly, 1989". Despite this, it still sold well.

**Taxi Package**

A Taxi Package was also included for the third generation Grand Maria.

Features once again included a cab yellow color, taxi markings, and basic steel wheels.

**Police Package**

A Police Package was as well once again included for the third generation Grand Maria.

This package included basic steel rims, a two-tone black and white paintjob, and spotlights.
Di Inferi Signa TS490

## Di Inferi Signa

A Di Inferi Signa in Blu Juno.

The Di Inferi Signa (also called the TS490 Signa) was a supercar produced by manufacturer Di Inferi from 2011 through 2014. Throughout its lifespan, it remained mostly the same in design, though some changes were made to internal parts to improve performance.

In late 2014, its successor was announced, the Signa TS560.

A one-off special edition Signa named the Fleur de Lis was produced in 2011, featuring a unique design, yet retaining most of the internal components.

## Development

The Signa was in development for almost 5 years, with documents dating as far back as 2006. In 2008, Di Inferi purchased two Rowland cars as prototype beds to test components, especially the suspension and chassis. These mules were named the IA1 and IA2 respectively. Later on, the second prototype was further modified to accomodate the Signa's large engine bay. The final prototype was unveiled in 2010, and production started later the same year.

## Specifications

#### Engine

The Signa's engine is a heavily modified variant based on the DI490T V8 found in the Di Inferi Sciara GT-V8. However, the engine has been extensively reworked; now featuring a flat plane camshaft, much larger turbos and power output increased to 645 horsepower.

#### Design

For the design, the Di Inferi Meliora was extensively studied for inspiration. The body was designed as to minimize weight and maximize chassis rigidity, though the large engine still proved heavy.

#### Performance

The Signa was recorded by Automationverse Magazine sprinting from 0-60mph in 2.8 seconds in a 2011 road test, though official figures state 3.1 seconds.

Di Inferi claims the Signa will reach 355 km/h, though an independent test claims to have reached 228 mph (366.9 km/h).

Braking from 100-0 km/h can be done in 28 meters, as tested by Automationverse in 2011.
Crapper Motors Crapper

A 1930 Crapper in a street in 1957.

The Crapper Motors Crapper was the first vehicle ever produced by Crapper Motors, from 1930 until 1937. The Crapper started its life in the shed owned by Elijah Crapper. He would work on the car, sometimes along with his father, as early as age 18, in 1911. Elijah would use old leftover carriage parts to assemble basic machines and structures.

The plans for the Crapper were finished by November 1928, and production started in October 15, 1929. This was good (or bad) timing, as the Great Depression hit throughout the world at this time. Sales were semi-decent for the Crapper, although suffered sometimes, mostly in the first several years. This damaged Crapper Motors as a whole, with Elijah almost losing his business in 1932. However, Crapper Motors very barely pulled through, with sales increasing slightly starting 1935-1936. However, this was it for the Crapper, which unfortunately was cut short of production in 1937.

After the Great Depression ended in 1939, Elijah needed time to help get his business to recover. After successfully doing so, he waited for 3 years before starting to sell the next vehicle, the Station-Wagon.

Some Crappers were sold during 1938 and 1939, while no new Crapper cars were made, there were some extras. It is estimated that around 25 extra cars were made. 13 were sold in 1938 and 12 in 1939. The cars were marked down in price and mainly sold to people who could not afford other cars. This kept Crapper Motors afloat between 1938 and 1940.

**Trim Levels**

* Base
* Luxe

The Crapper came with turn signals as installable additions in 1939, as a way to entice potential buyers to buy the leftover Crapper vehicles. Reverse lights were optional from 1931 model years onwards. There were no changes during the car's production and its design stayed the same entirely.

   The car had a luxurious, hand-made interior with a premium-quality FM radio. The car could seat 5, and the top could be removed. A horn was installed on the driver's side that the driver could press and squeeze outside the car. The car was started with a crank, the only CM car to do so.
Crapper Motors Caviar

The Caviar started production in April 2019 and ended production as of March 2022. The Caviar was Scott Crapper’s next car, and a first for Crapper Motors, a luxury van. It came in two trims: The LGX, or base (luxury) model, and the LGX-R, or the sport (luxury) model. It had proven to be successful as its unique styling and overall concept had made it a popular choice for bands, and people associated with Van Life.
Harcon

**Harcon** was founded in 1947 by former racing driver Harold Conacker. The company started out by making limited-run, high-performance vehicles designed for racing, but eventually branched out into many of the other markets by making mass production sedans and coupes and even SUVs.

Crapper Motors Aubergine

After his grandfather passed away on January 17, 2001, and after seeing his father become super upset about this, Scott Crapper decided to take a car he was currently planning out since 1998, called the Koala, and turn it into a tribute to William Crapper. He renamed the vehicle to the Aubergine, in reference to how much William loved Aubergines. He also designed it with an exclusive paintjob, a Deep Aubergine Purple color. Starting production in April 2001, the Aubergine stayed in production until 2005. The car was successful and made Elijah II very happy, not to mention the customers who bought the car. There were 3 model trims: the Base, the CX, or Luxury, and the ST, or Sport.

   The car itself was nothing more than an average family sedan. No facelifts were put into place and by 2004-2005 the public ran out of interest for the mundane car. It was put out of production in August 2005.
Crapper Motors Doppelgänger

After the war, and sales of the Crapper-Coupe finished, in 1953, Crapper Motors started production of the Doppelgänger, an eco sedan. It was not a success, and ended production after just 3 years in 1956. Planned in November 1952, starting production in January 1953, and first being sold in March 1953, it was a massive flop, mainly due to it’s highly un-economical engine.

## Design

The Doppelgänger re-introduced turn signals as standard for rear lighting, as well as reverse lights, however, front turn signals were optional.
Crapper Motors NS

The Crapper Motors NS was a lineup of boxer engines developed by Crapper Motors in the late 1970s to differentiate their small and medium cars from competition. Production of the engines began in 1981, and they were popular in the early 1980s. However, as the decade went on, popularity waned and newer inline and v engines were developed for CM's vehicles. Used most notably in the Metron minivans, by 1991 they were the only vehicles left using the standard engines. The TC series of boxer engines were developed by fitting aluminum SOHC heads onto NS blocks. These engines, especially in turbocharged form, drew praise for power and sound if not reliability.

## Four-Cylinder

### NS4B-E

The NS4B-E engine was a 4-Cylinder Boxer engine with throttle-body fuel injection. It made 80.2 hp.

Usage:

* 1986-1987 Crapper Motors Metron CH
* 1988-1991 Crapper Motors Metron CH

Usage:

* 1986-1987 Crapper Motors Metron CH-X
* 1988-1991 Crapper Motors Metron CH-X
Di Inferi R369

1983 Di Inferi R369 Road Car

The Di Inferi R369 is a mid-engine supercar by manufacturer Di Inferi built to compete in Group B rally. It was first introduced in 1982, after having been prototyped on various Di Inferi Mithra frames since the late 1970's.

The R369, sometimes affectionately known as the Caracal, was powered by a 2141cc turbocharged I4 engine. While this engine had two less cylinders than the earlier Mithra with its V6, the R369 instead employed the use of a turbocharger to increase power output and remain competitive in Group B's 3000cc class. The rules stated that a car entered in the 3000cc class needed to either employ a 3000cc engine, or alternatively a turbocharged engine up to 2142cc, the size difference offsetting the turbocharging. This resulted in the road-going engine producing 308 horsepower, while the rally version is quoted anywhere between 290-340 horsepower.

The lightness of the R369 was a continued evolution of the Mithra formula, which had been highly competitive focusing on its lightness and agility over extreme power. This proved a good move, and the R369 enjoyed continued success until eventually eclipsed by its four-wheel drive competitors, forcing Di Inferi to abandon the R369 in favor of a four-wheel drive car.

201 road-going units of the R369 were produced, two-hundred customer models and one reserved for continued prototyping and testing. The R369 would eventually evolve into the four-wheel drive Di Inferi Pardus SR.

Coronet Trebuchet

The Coronet Trebuchet was a luxury limousine sold by Coronet from 1970 until 1984. It was a successful vehicle and spanned over 3 generations.

## Performance

### Top speed

~ 139.9 mph

The first generation Trebuchet started production in 1970. Sold from 1971 to 1973, it was successful. Marketed for the wealthy, the car had a luxurious interior with a luxury 8-Track system, power windows, hydraulic steering, and many other luxurious features such as hidden ashtrays and a drinks cabinet with premium, unlabeled glasses.

## Body and chassis

### Suspension

MacPherson Strut (F)Semi Trailing Arm (R)

## Performance

### Top speed

~ 150.0 - 157.4 mph

The second generation Trebuchet was once again successful, updating the already outdated-looking first generation. The car was successful, however it was somewhat ridiculed for it's looks and short height. It was also considered too basic looking by some, calling it too bland and ugly. In 1975, the engine was switched to the new Coronet 477 EC, Coronet's emissions-compliant variant of the 477. The car also had suffered from various mechanical issues over the years, despite this however it still sold decently for the four years it was in production, however sales were still lower than anticipated and thus production ended in 1978. The car once again had hydraulic power steering like the previous generation, power windows, ashtrays, but got rid of the drinks glasses, leaving an empty cabinet, as their original supplier, Randolph's Glassware, went into bankruptcy, and they could not find another supplier in time with a similar price.

## Performance

### Top speed

~ 111.7 - 115.1 mph

The third and final generation of the Trebuchet started production in 1979, sold from 1979 until 1984. It sold well during its 5-year production run, with an updated, modern design. The car had a luxurious interior with velour seating, a CRT TV, and a built-in drinks cabinet, which even included Coronet, Stag-branded martini glasses. Coronet listened to the feedback and critiques of the previous generation, and applied them to the new car, with a taller design, better mechanics, and a more lavish design. The car was Coronet's last 70s car, ending a troubled era of vehicles with a decently-selling car.
Omota Norway

The 1994-1999 Model

the Omota Norway is a compact Hatchback produced by Omota Motor Corporation from 1984-1999. Omota introduced the Norway to be a smaller, hatchback version of the Tangerine wagon. It was one of Omota's more successful European Cars but wasn't the best due to it's rusty body and chassis. It is most common to see in the streets of Paris as a Delivery car. Omota had plans to offer this hatchback in Mexico, but instead replaced it with the Omota Tiki Hatch.

Helron Journey

A 2015 Helron Journey in the "Freer than a bird" advert

The Helron Journey is a Mid Size SUV developed in conjunction with the Omota Motor Corporation. It was sold as the Helron Terra in Europe.

Helron noticed that they had a gap in thier company, as they needed to close the gap between the Tear X and the Atlantic. With thier parntership with Omota, they took the Omota Kicker and refurbished it for a 2015 release. Helron had originally aided in the development of the last generation Kicker, therefore they knew the ins and outs of the car.

Helron also made a special edition RS trim, which featured a 400hp 4 Cylinder VVT Engine. This was a very niche 500 versions and its done car, with each selling for $65,000. It was for the US only and was only sold in 2015

**In Media:**

In 2017s "Night Lights", the first scene features two cops in a Helron Journey Utility Unit before the protagonist, Redknife, kills them both off, setting the tone for the rest of the movie
