Started playing this again and built a few cars. Pics will follow shortly.
Hammerhead (1967-1972)
The Hammerhead was Eagle's flagship car since it's inception in 1967 Originally there were two trim levels with two engines. The RS 302 featured a 5.0 290HP V8 while the SS 350 featured a 5.7 425HP V8. In 1969 a homologation "T/A 427" model was introduced to allow Eagle to take part in Trans Am racing. It featured the biggest, most powerful engine, ever put in a road legal production car, with a 7.0 V8 producing 570HP in the front of the T/A.
Production for the Hammerhead ended in 1972 and, while Eagle planned a second generation model for 1974, the Oil Crisis forced them to abandon the project and start work on the Kansei 280.

Kansei (1969-1979)
The Kansei is the car known for helping Eagle Motor Works through the 1973 oil crisis. Production for the Kansei 240 (introduced in 1969) was planned to end in 1974 but production continued until 1979 alongside the Kansei 280 (Introduced in 1972).
The Kansei 240 featured a 2.4 Inline 6 engine producing 170HP and was designed for getting Eagle into the Japanese market. Due to the success of the K240, Eagle released the Kansei 280 in 1972. This car featured a 2.8 Inline 6 producing 240HP, but was siginificantly heavier than the 240 (1040KG in the 240, 1220KG in the 280). The 240 averaged around 20 MPG while the 280 averaged around 15.
Kansei (1999-2010)
At the 1999 Tokyo Motor Show Eagle introduced their latest 2 seat sports car, the Kansei. This car was built to challenge the latest Japanese sports cars. Two models were launched in 1999, the Kansei 2000 featured a Naturally Aspirated 2.0 Inline 6, with a 9000RPM redline, that produced 246HP, and this car was built to take on lower level sports cars such as the Honda S2000 and Nissan Silvia Spec R. The Kansei 3000 was the top range model, with a Naturally Aspirated 3.0 Inline 6, producing 325HP, and was built to take on the top Japanese sports cars such as the Skyline GT-R and Toyota Supra.
A facelifted version was released in 2006, and introduced a 330HP 3.2 V6 to the lineup alongside the 2000 and 3000 models. With the launch of the 480HP GT-R in 2007, Eagle decided to build an entirely new supercar from the ground up in 2010 to replace the Kansei.
Riviera (1984-1992)
With the oil crises calming down in the 1980's Eagle decided to create the ultimate super car. In 1984 they came up with the Riviera. The successor to the 1955 car of the same name, this new car was built to be better than anything from Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini. Two models were launched in 1984, the Riviera GT and Riviera Turbo. The Riviera GT was powered by a Naturally Aspirated 3.8 V8 producing 380HP, with a top speed of 186 MPH. However there was also a Turbo model released the same year that was built to be the first car to top 200 MPH. Powered by the same V8 of the GT model, two turbo's were put on to the engine to produce over 550HP, and propel the car to a top speed of 215 MPH.
