Harniski Heritage Automotive (HHA)

[CrackedJack]

Hello! I'm new to the forum and game and thought I'd share my ideas and creations and whatnot.

Company Summary:
HHA was founded in 1978 by an old moonshiner who had built up quite the cash roll selling the product on the black market. However, before long he realized he needed a way to "wash" the money, so he decided what better way than to start an automotive manufacturing and development company? So he used his profits to setup all the plants and workers etc to get the ball rolling.

In 1981 The first car was released. It was known as the HHA Cloud. However, right after the car was released the old moonshiner was caught and sentenced to prison for illegal moonshine production and distribution. That could very well be the mark of the start, and end, of Harniski Heritage Automotive.......

This is the 1981 HHA Cloud Mid-Level Luxury/Economy Family Sedan
Features:
Inline-6 3.0 with 4-speed automatic transmission
RWD Double wishbone full suspension
Corrosion resistant steel paneling
All wheel solid disk brakes
14" Premium Alloy wheels
Premium level interior with 8 track system
Advanced safety features
**Originally designed to support a small block HO V8

In 2008 the moonshiner was released from prison all debts settled and still came out owning the factories and offices with plenty of money left-over. However, it didn't take long for the moonshiner to realized the car world had changed drastically and he no longer had the know how due to his strict old fashioned ways to run a modern successful automotive engineering and sales company. Instead of selling everything, he decided to completely relinquish ownership to his son, who would inherit complete control over the company, that with work, could get rolling just as smooth as in 1981.




It didn't take long either, as the son was able to produce not a single car, but a partial manufacturer line-up all at once in 2015, making for a big debut for the return of HH Automotive.

Here's some limited details and view of the current line-up for HH Automotive as of 2015.

This uses the same ideals as the Cloud, only revamped, modernized and ready to go for 2015.

Presenting: The 'HHA Aventa' Entry-Level Luxury Sedan

[Oskiinus]

Entry level luxury sedan with all cast iron engines?
Pfft.

[CrackedJack]

This is a truck that was inspired by the old style panel-trucks and aimed to be used as a utlity/work truck and most likely will mostly consist of commercial sales/leases.

Presenting: The 2015 HH Automotive Mackin ST (Standard Trim)

This trim features a 3.2L V8 and a 5-Speed manual transmission. The suspension is set up for maximum load capacity with no expense spared. Don't let the entry level work truck tag fool you, this truck could easily be a daily driver that impresses all your friends.








**This motor is directly based off the unfinished designs for the V8 intended for the unfinished 1982 Cloud RT

Entry level luxury sedan with all cast iron engines?
Pfft.

Is that a thing? Are luxury class not supposed to have cast iron engines? I always liked cast iron engines.

[CrackedJack]

Next up on the line-up is a traditional mid-size 1/2 ton pickup truck.

Presenting the 2015 'Trooper ST'
This vehicle and trim features a 5-speed RWD transmission with straight axles on coils and McPherson struts in front. The engine is a throwback attempt at old Inline-6 trucks as it is a 4.5L Inline-6. This engine was not optimized for fuel economy but does however boast a higher towing and hauling capability than the Trooper commercial V8 panel-truck. This truck is intended to be a trailer hauler, camper bed truck, or straight up work truck, but if you want to drive it to work everyday just for fun, don't let us stop you!

More details on the engine TBA.

[CrackedJack]

Last but certainly not least, the 'flagship' vehicle of HH Automotive: The 'King Cobra MK1', another vehicle inspired by old fashioned ways. The standard trim of the HHA KC features the same Inline-6 from our truck the 'Trooper'. However, with the great difference in aerodynamics and weight as well as fine tuning and transmission differences, this car can be quite impressive zipping through town.

This is a Luxury Class Sports car intended for maximum fun. Go fast, go slow, get in an illegal street race for the rush, we don't care it's your car! (we do not condone illegal street racing)

To continue..


Presenting: The 'Aventa PT' (performance trim)
This version of the Aventa boasts a more powerful drive-train and sportier feel while still maintaining town car characteristics.
With 326 horses under the hood, you get to to 60 from red light to red light in as little as 6.3 seconds, much faster than the nearly 12 seconds it takes for the ST to reach 60 from a stand still. Don't forget you still get up to 26 MPG!





Presenting: The 'Overrunner ST AWD'
This vehicle is aimed at soccer moms, working dads, retirees, or anyone else who looks for that comfortable, luxurious experience while still having plenty of convenience. With a turbocharged eco focused inline-6, you get undeniable reliability while getting the powerful experience you would normally look at V8s for, without the gas guzzling that is, especially with help from the 8=-speed automatic transmission. With a top of the line interior,entertainment system, and safety features your only worry is getting distracted from the road!
The price tag of course will reflect such ingenuity, luxury, and peace of mind.
**This car is still considered a prototype and has not been optimized, thus current figures for: gas mileage, horsepower, torque, reliability, & smoothness do not represent the final product.

[CrackedJack]

Another trim addition to the line-up.

Presenting: Mackin PT
This trim focused on less work more play. A third seat was added, as well as premium interior featuring a full featured entertainment HUD and top of the line safety.
This trim receives a whole new engine design that was intended to go in the Trooper first, but due to manufacturing related reasons it's being released on the Mackin platform first.
The power-train features a 6.7L Mechanical Injected Turbocharged V8 paired to the new sequential slap shift 6 speed transmission and heavy duty automatically engaging AWD transfer case.
The exterior has received no changes other than a higher paint quality. No preview available as of yet, as the power-train has not been fully tested and tweaked.

Here is a snapshot of the new engine design intended for both the Mackin PT and Trooper PT
This engine was designed with a very sharp and early torque curve in mind to keep you from even knowing you have a trailer or boat behind you while pulling up hills and such through town.

The problem here isn't cast iron, that's fine. The problem is that you're cutting off the redline too early, put it at least 500rpm over peak power, or, if the reliability drops down too much, lower the cam profile

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try that for now on.
