With our recent, and let's face it, embarrassing losses in the now world famous Barely Street Legal League, Normandy decided to take it's sweet time and butter up our fans and clean up the company's more than likely, soured image. While one-off engineering feats and hyper-cars are amazing, million dollar racing cars, do not, a successful car company make. That said, we looked back at the successes of the automotive world to draw inspiration. In the mid '90's the Import Tuner scene had exploded, with Japan holding the plunger. Companies like Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi had a firm and unshakable grip on the notion of sports cars. Not only were these vehicles relatively fuel-efficient for the power they provided, they could also out maneuver any American made vehicle with no effort. In that vein, Normandy proudly presents its' newest entry in the realm of mass produced sports cars.
The first in a series of upcoming sports cars. The N1.
The base "L" sub-series (LE and LS) is powered by a very fuel-efficient AT4. An i4 producing 142 HP to either a 4-speed Auto or 5-speed Manual FWD gearbox. Both retail at roughly $9500.
For only an extra $500, the Turbo charged "L" sub-series (The LSX and LEX) increases the power from 142 to 200HP. Increasing the power also adds a spoiler to the rear and our brand new T-Top, as well as some addition creature comforts.
*Interesting side note: The LEX became something of an underground legend among tuner fans shortly after its release. Online forums and magazines often referred to it as a "LEX" (on word) Saying things like "And there's Ron Jeremy in his Normandy LEX."
The "G" performance sub-series (GT, GT-R, and GS), comes with our battle proven XGP i6, giving your right foot access to a face melting 300 HP. This engine comes bolted to a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic RWD or AWD, gearbox. Added vents, wider wheel arches, bigger rims and breaks, tighter suspension, lower ride height, fog-lights, front-splitter and a badass sound system are all yours for $14000. Yes, it comes with the T-Top.
The "N" racing sub-series (NTX, NTX-R, NSX, NTV-X, and NTV-XR) is the bleeding edge of street-legal racing machines. With an extremely powerful turbo-charged 450 HP, XGP i6 engine, coupled with the same optional RWD or AWD gearboxes as stated above, along with our brand new Sequential 6-speed system. Yes. It comes with the T-Top. All of the soul-sheering power can piss off your local PD for a mere $16000.
