Victory, VAR, and Aryeesport Press Conference:
Today, I would like to announce a wonderful day in the automotive industry! *clapping* Today...I would like to announce an alliance between Victory, Aryeesport, and Vintage Automotive Remanufacturing. This alliance will be called Beta Hemera Automotive Group. Together, we would like to proudly represent the future of the automotive industry.

To celebrate this occasion, Victory, will be unveiling a more hardcore version of our current S1. Not only that, the S1 will be renamed to VS-1.0 [due to licensing reasons and blah blah blah]. This more, hardcore variant, will be called the VS-1.0 R. It'll have a twin turbo inline 4 to produce even more power. It'll also have some weight reduction, including carbon fiber bits. A gran tourer that'll compete with the 650S and 458 Italia will be considered in the future.

VAR will also be introducing a new model, though at this time we are not sure what model that will be, and are looking to hear feedback, from you, the consumers. We are currently looking into classic trucks, as well as under-rated muscle cars from back in the day since popular cars are still easily attainable for the right price. The car will of course feature a V8 engine with the ever popular rear wheel drive configuration and is expected to pump out over 300 horsepower. We are also looking into aftermarket parts that will be optioned on the new car should you choose a factory performance modification if you do not want something that is entirely stock. We are expecting to announce the new model sometime this week.

And, of course, Aryeesport will be introducing a new model called the Talos. The new Talos will be a small 2-door coupe with 2.0 NA, 2.5 turbo I6, and 3.0 V6 NA options. The 2.0 option will be the "Talos S" trim level, the 2.5T will be the "Talos GT-R" trim level. The 3.0 V6 will be part of our new tuning firm, that'll be named in a future press conference.

We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and as always we will continue to provide you will affordable cars in various styles and configurations with acceptable performance for the hard working American. Thank you.

Once the game progresses, I'll have more moderators to help me out. I try to take the players' wants into consideration, but taking polls whenever someone wants a rule change would simply take too long and bog down the game.

My goal is to make the game as realistic as possible without having a meltdown.

Anyway, Kentucky won, so I'm in a good mood right now.

Model Name: R200
Trim Levels: Base, Sport, R (w or w/o Track Pack)
Body Style(s): Coupe
Engine(s): 2.0 Liter I-4 N/A; 2.0 Liter I-4 Turbo
Drivetrain(s): FR
Transmission(s): 6-MT
Location of Factory:
-Providence, RI
-Tokyo, Japan
Description (optional): 21 Motorsports' entry-level sports car. Both 2.0 liter N/A and turbocharged engines are available (depending on trim level). The R200 base model comes only with the N/A, and is a high-compression, high-revving engine great for someone looking at a daily driver with some decent trackabliity. The R200 sport comes standard with the same N/A 2.0 liter engine as the base model R200-albeit with slightly more power-but the 2.0 liter turbo variant is now available as an option. The compression and redline are reduced to accomodate the added boost, but is just as durable as the N/A. The R200 Sport also has the optional oil cooler from the base model as standard. The R200 R is the most powerful and most track-ready variant available. It only comes with the 2.0 liter turbo engine. With dual oil coolers as standard and increased boost pressure, the R200 R is capable of some serious lap times not typically expected of a car of this size. With the R-only optional Track Pack, boost is supplied by a larger, more-efficient turbocharger and intercooler, and has a full titanium turbo-back exhaust with high-flow catalytic converter. The dual oil coolers are also more efficient than the normal R. Fully-adjustable coilover suspension is available as an option on Sport models, and comes as standard on the R and R Track Pack models.

Body Style(s): Coupe
Engine(s): 3.0 Liter I-6 N/A; 3.0 Liter I-6 Twin-Sequential Turbo
Drivetrain(s): FR
Transmission(s): 6-MT
Location of Factory:
-Providence, RI
-Tokyo, Japan
Description (optional): The 21 Motorsports R300 is a the quintessential street/track car so far. The base model comes with a high-revving, high-compression 3.0 liter naturally-aspirated I-6 in a lightweight body. This is most popular for the car enthusiast to enjoy on the commute to-and-from work as much as the track. The Sport model has in creased power from the N/A I-6 via slightly larger cams, slight head work, and a more free-flowing stainless steel exhaust system. However, the big power comes from the addition of the optional Twin-Sequential Turbocharged 3.0 liter I-6 engine. Like the R200, full-adjustable coilover suspension and an oil cooler are options. The R model has this engine as standard, as well as the coilover suspension package and new dual oil coolers. For those who want the ultimate in streetable track weapons, the R300 R Track Pack has more efficient and higher-boosting turbos, a larger intercooler, and state-of-the-art dual oil coolers. The Track Pack also has more aggressive 280 degree cams, a full head work (while still remaining streetable), and forged internals. Serious weight savings have been done in the form of carbon fiber used wherever possible, with standard bucket seats with 4-point harnesses.

I started mine at the beginning of Q2 but didn't see sales/revenue until Q3, so I think there's just a standard delay of at least 24 hours.
