A Special Look at the new 2015 Soltra DevationIt's a nice, somewhat warm day here at Bathurst. I'm currently waiting for my Soltra Contact to arrive with the car I'm supposed to be testing. The First thing I notice is its looks. The complex and crazy amounts of vents and such blow me away. the next thing that hits me is how amazing it sounds. The meaty and aggressive sound comes via Twin Turbos on the V8. As it pulls in front of me, the quad side exit exhausts spit at me. The guy dropping it off says something about don't go too hard, but I don't hear what he said entirely. The 2015 Soltra Devation (Said D-V-A-tion) is the new flagship monster for Soltra, making 1303hp from a 7.7l V8, which revs all the way up to 8000rpm. The 7-speed flappy-paddle 'box is super responsive, taking you up to over 100kph in 1st gear, and going all the way up to 367kph by 7th, but it feels like it could go even faster. 100kph is reached in 2 and a half seconds, but that's with a professional driver at the wheel. I'm not a professional by any means.
I decided to take it onto the track, to let it roar, and be let loose. My first mistake was thinking that this was like what I had been driving earlier in the day, a Volvo V8 supercar. This car had less grip, but was a hell of a load more fun. I almost binned it into a wall coming along the Esses, but was able to not. Driving this thing is epic. I can't say more than that. Wait, Yes I can. It might not be the most controllable hypercar I've ever driven, but this is near enough the most fun I've ever had. This car is on street tyres. You can tell. It slips and slides like a snake, but in an easy-to-manage and fun way. I'm hoping a track weapon comes from this, one with more wing, and semi-slicks. I was able to get a nice time of 2:11.9 around Bathurst, but the PR guy said one of their test drivers got a 2:07.8.
The noise and the looks make this thing seem worth even more than it is. It sits at a price of US$182,000. It feels like it's worth about US$300,000. I hope I'm not giving them any ideas.

OOC Notes:
Pricing may not be final. This is what was shown in the received file.
Also, I'm not bothering to attach photos due to being lazy and a sh*tty PC, so I'm going to RP it as a NDA-style thing of I was allowed to talk about it, but not release any photos.
Thanks to UMGaming to let me do this. His Company is here
