Oh god not again...

Anyway, Avalon Motors are developing three new engines, and the details of which have been leaked. The leak was a letter sent to Mr. Jarmain revolving around the new engines and their development. The letter is below:

TO: MR. CAMERON JARMAIN
ADDRESS: AVALON HQ, 6 KEYHAM ROAD, PLYMOUTH, DEVON, ENGLAND

FROM: MR. DAVE DAVIDSON
ADDRESS: 11 FORE STREET, ST. AUSTELL, CORNWALL, ENGLAND

DATE: 22/10/14
​

I am pleased to report that the new engines for Q4 are nearly finished in development. We have had very little problems with development, and now we are just refining our designs. I will go into detail about the engines below:

TURBO

The turbo's are working perfectly with the original engine, and the power has been boosted from 200 to 270hp, with minimal economy losses. The engine is good and reliable, and we are now adjusting the boost timing and turbo size to allow for maximum power without any reliability issues and a powerband close to the original engine.

TWINTURBO

The twin turbo has had some issues regarding reliability, but they have mostly been ironed out. Power is around 360hp, and with cam adjustments we should be able to reach 375. The engine is nearly done.

6POT

The brand new '6POT' is basically done. Power is around 300hp, and we may increase this if wanted. The engine is as compact as possible, and while not VW sized, it is still a compact engine. This one has a lot of potential, with rough estimates the engine should withstand 550hp if boosted enough.

The 'TRIPLE' is also continuing to be developed, and should be ready in time for the 'HATCH' release next quarter.

Also, new trademarks have been bought, making it seem like a large model increase is beginning.

Spoiler: A News Report From Knight Ind.

For anyone who has purchased a KI500, you may trade in your vehicle free of cost for a new KI500R. *Note the KI500R uses more fuel and tires than the KI500* The project LSR-304 has been refined further. For any confusion about the Powerband.

Without getting into a bunch of technical crap it's basically like this. In a 2 stroke you can spread the power more evenly across the RPM range, but this hurts your peak power, so what they do with most 2 stroke races bikes is concentrate almost all of the power in a small range. This makes 2 strokes much harder to go fast on since you can't keep the throttle near wide open through all of the obstacles and turns on a motocross track. This is most apparent on smaller 2 strokes (125cc and under). When people talk about "hitting the power band" they simply mean that they reached the RPM range where the bike starts to make real usable power. A 4 stroke is able to create power throughout the RPM range without sacrificing peak horsepower which is one of the many reasons they dominate motocross/supercross these days.

We will be utilizing a 2-stroke engine and our Hex-Charge system...In other news the testing crew must have stolen our vehicles we sent them as we have still not received any results...

Ladies and Gentlemen, let the bidding war commence.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let the bidding war commence.

I know and I will probably just sit here and watch.

 

[Driving Park]

500 cr each

You can have them.

I wasn't planning on bidding that high, sorry to bust the audience's bubble.

 

[DurWinning]

Well that was a shortly lived auction.

 

[BKGlover]

Oh, so I can start selling the new cars in Q1? Or Q3? And I just needed a reason for pulling out of those markets; the money it cost to build the dealer chains wasn't really paying off when I was only selling 1% of cars in them.

This is Q4 2014. What you're buying now will be active Q1 2015. Don't know why but you just jumped one ahead for some reason. Also, that makes sense.

I was also confused about this, so whatever I make this quarter (Diamond fastback sedan and Spirit ute) till the next quarter.

When I do revenues for this quarter, you will get money then.

 

[BKGlover]

The Diamond will be previewed soon and Starboard can reveal that it will be built in Kobe,Japan. Starboard would also like the Japan factory for 100 credits.

What factory?

Also, as J is selling his extra dealers of his own accord, and staying in the game, he makes the final call on them.

Alright, because now that makes sense because the Diamond I am photoshopping now won't be active till next quarter, OK now I get it.

Also, for all you mythology nuts out there, I've been naming all of my cars after Greek deities (if you haven't noticed yet. It's pretty obvious since the logos are based on what they represent):
Themis = Titaness of divine order, law, natural law, and custom
Hemera = Goddess of the daytime
Artemis = Goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth (lel), virginity (lel #2)
Poseidon = Oh come on, you know this one.
Harmonia = Goddess of harmony and concord
