Holland Motor Company

Hello,

Hereby I introduce to you the Holland Motor Company.

Another serious effort to rise a successful motor company based in The Netherlands

Our first model is going to be the Orleans which is going to marketed worldwide from '73 on.

It's a compact family saloon propelled by mostly inline 4's an 6's with displacements starting at 1.3 up to 2.8 liters.

This is the Orleans 1.3, all versions have the same body, because this is the base version it has single round headlamps and basic equipment. Luxury models from the 1.8 up have double round headlamps and a standard interior and 14 inch wider wheels.

The six cylinders have square headlamps and a full chrome grille to distinguish them from the four cylinder versions.

Beneath here is the US version, it had side marker lights and a higher safety equipment. This current version has GTi 2.0 12 valve injection engine with 130hp, 29 more than the standard carburetor 2.0.

We currently developing a V8 limited edition for the Australian market called the '365 Boss of Oz' as an answer to the Ford Falcon and GM seems to be developing a v8 too.
It has around 340 hp :) and we're figuring out now how to make it stop eating tires. :oops: The looks are going to be based on the EU/US GTi

Re: Holland Motor Company

My latest Creation...a modern day saloon. I was inspired by Ferrari and attempted to create a four door Ferrari. It's still miles away from a real stallion but on it's own i think it works out great!

This car is aiming at the Premium saloons like BMW 5's and Audi's A6. This version is the top of the range with an AWD sports chassis and 3.8 V8 turbo with 650 HP. 0-100 in 3,7s, top speed 289 km/h. Not bad for a fully packed luxury sedan.

Re: Holland Motor Company

I might be more or less inspired by Opels of the 70's. One of the first things i did when I got automation was resurrecting the Kadett C O:)

Re: Holland Motor Company

Thanks! I wil soon place updates about the Group B car, it's a true gem, but i don't want to give away to much because it's in a competition right now and I don't want to give away to much to my competitors. ;)

Re: Holland Motor Company

A little history lesson about the Holland Motor Company....

It was first established in 1900 and specializing on coachbuilding. It wasn't known as the HMC that is known today but the abbreviation for 'Hollandsche Motorrijtuigen en Carrosseriebouw'

By 1940 HMC we started to design our own cars, the 1250, which will follow later on. The eventual car got out in 1946 due to WW2

In 1963 was a crucial year for HMC, it all started as a accident from an English journalist in 1958 which guessed the original difficult name stood for Holland Motor Company, but HMC got known by that name worldwide which ultimately led to the direction-board changing the official company name to Holland Motor Company, also a new badge was presented:

Re: Holland Motor Company

The Estoril, a light nimble but affordable sportscar with great performance but a good fuel economy...fun for everyone!

A commercial van, or actually a platform both available in a light FWD or a heavy-duty RWD/4WD ladder chassis:

Engines ranging from the 2.4 i4 Torquemaster to the 4.9 i6 Torquemaster, the concept is all N/A, high compression, high torque, low tech, easy to maintain, cheap to run but clean en fuel efficient. Petrol has the advantage of being able to run on LPG and CNG. Featered below is the 3.3 i4

Re: Holland Motor Company

In 1940 just before the war started we designed a streamline concept car...it had a aluminium body and a 6.4 straight six producing a staggering 170 hp. It was provided with hidden headlamps (like the 42 desoto's). The car was designed to be a comfortable long distance cruiser able to reach a (relatively, it was the 40's) high top speed of more than 160 km/h!! The car never made it to production though...
