Rennen Automotive

---Revamped History---


Rennen Automotive was founded in 1964, by John Rennen. Prior to making cars, John was a electronics engineer. However, he strayed away from his job, and with past experience working on cars, he founded Rennen Automotive. Their first car, the Rennen Angeles, was a sleek 2-door sports coupe that appealed to many people; unfortunately, it was also limited in production as well as quite expensive, so it was on sale for only 5 years before a major revamp, which turned it into a 2-door coupe and 4-door saloon while staying true to the soul of the original sports car.
Some of the most difficult times for Rennen occured around the late 1970's and early to mid 80's, as the fuel crisis had hit America hard. As such, the popular Caelum resorted to a price drop, an efficient but relatively underpowered 4 Cylinder, and FWD. This boosted sales enough to keep certain cars like the Kusanagi in sales, but wasn't enough to make Rennen a standout company. In 1980, Rennen was the 17th largest company in America.
The 1990's sought out a change for Rennen. After the hit of the 1980's, the 90's was a breath of fresh air. Technology in Rennen automobiles skyrocketed, and more electronic driver aids meant that the Staccato and others were able to become true luxury cars. The Angeles Coupe, popular with tuners for it's ease of making power, was one of our best selling cars along with the Caelum, accumulating over 150,000 sales in the year 1993.
As of 2001, John's grandson, Evan Rennen, took over the company, and reinvented Rennen to an even higher quality standard. The Caelum, previously a more frugal-oriented car, was moved to a much more upscale class. Today, all of our cars keep the soul made by the "Angel". They follow the quality and sportiness that is expected of such a company.



Original history

In 2001, a new, upscale brand was created: It was named Rennen Automotive. Their first car was an ultra high-tech car named the Kusanagi; today, it is still in production as a supercar fighter.
The original Kusanagi was at the top of its class for the time, and even now. It included a 2.0L Turbocharged 4-cylinder that produced a bonkers 435 HP, all with 4WD and traction control, ABS, and power steering. Don't forget its very low weight, which clocked in at 2218 lbs. This made it one of the fastest cars you could buy at the time. It was always advertised in the famous shade of Rennsport Blue.

Image

The current Kusanagi is even more high-tech, with a 2.6L inline-6 producing a whopping 593 HP at 7700 RPM., and revs to a screaming 8500 RPM. It is still stock with 4WD, traction control, ABS, power steering, and even more such as stability control and launch control. Still a lightweight car, the new Kusanagi clocks in at 2748 lbs. The Kusanagi rockets itself from 0-60 MPH in 2.7 seconds and the 1/4 mile at 10.14 seconds, making it a superfast choice, all for the price similar to a Nissan GT-R. Using new ultra-light carbon fibre technology, the Kusanagi really is at the pinnacle of the sports car generation.

Rennen Automotive is currently producing sporty cars that can range from little city cars to amazing supercars, and even more is to come.

Re: Rennen Automotive

It's a convenient safety feature. When the robbers come, they'll start the engine, and *KABOOM*, they can't steal the car anymore :lol:

Re: Rennen Automotive

A recent revision of the Kusanagi shows a completely re-thought engine and production costs that have been nearly made 1/3 of what they used to be, as well as being half the price to manufacture and slightly more powerful. The reliability has also been upped, so the convenient safety feature is no longer there. The update also cleans up the styling on both front and rear ends.
Statistics:
599 HP @7500 RPM
550 lb-ft @4800 RPM
6-speed sequential gearbox, with standard 4WD
2617 lbs.
75 reliability
24 MPG
860 production units
$59,732 to produce
MSRP of $75,000

Looking good, I like those stats too. Happy to see you made some revisions. No car is ever perfect, I'm constantly tweaking my own too. Also is McDonald's a night club in New York??

Thanks, I appreciate it! Making cars correct in most ways is really difficult in this game, yeah. And I don't know, the last time I went to NYC (earlier this year) it wasn't. But, this picture was taken in 2012...

Only 860 units. And the MSRP is only $75,000, so put in yours before it's too late!

Naw, man, I used dogeshopW0W: Such cool, much photo, very changed, wow.

Also, for no reason, my engine naming is very easy to go by:
x = letter
0 = Number
So, a template would be XX0-00XX.
The first X can be either E (economy: note, pretty much no car has this type of engine) C (comfort: Everyday cars have this) S (sport: Most cars have this) or R (Race-tuned: Few cars have this)
So, RX0-00XX.
The second X and first 0 will be the type of engine, so V8, I4, I6, etc.
So, RI6-00XX.
The first two 00's after the dash represent the displacement, such as a 5.0L V8.
So, RI6-28XX.
Finally, the finall XX either will be T for turbo, TT for twin-turbo, (lolnotoutyet)SC for Supercharged(stillnotoutyet), or NA for naturally aspirated.
So, RI6-28T.
That's the engine in the Rennen Kusanagi R.

Re: Rennen Automotive

The tail lights on the Trident are very unique, love it.

Also I gotta ask, on the photo of the Kusanagi you made the headlights look like they're on, how do you do that? I'm pretty much useless when it comes to photoshop.

Well, on the top tabs, go to >Filter then go to >render, and then choose "lens flare." That should take you where you want.
