Alright, I've got an entry for you! I've also PM'ed you the Exported Product for your review.
(I apologize in advance, I am using US units in my description. Of course, you'll be able to see it with your units of choice once you bring it into your file)
The car is...
The 2016 Kirk Flauta!
Gorgeous! A hint of sleeper in the front, boy racer in the back, and class all around! Look and be practical and sporty all at once.
Design
The 2016 Kirk Flauta is the car for you, Strop! In fact, anyone looking for a $30,000 sports car that can be used as a family sedan, this is for you! This particular variant has been spec ordered for Kirk's dear friend, Strop.
Here we have a sporty hatchback, shown in our Vibrant Lime. It is built upon a very sturdy AHS Steel frame with an all Aluminum body. This makes for a high strength package, which is great for safety and reliability. Double Wishbone Front and MultiLink Rear Suspension give a tuned balance of extreme track sportiness, while still being comfortable on the road. The power plant is a high revving Aluminum Naturally Aspirated 3.7L V6. Power is fed through a 7-Speed Double Clutch Gearbox, which can operate in manual or automatic mode. This hatchback is no lightweight, but makes efficient use of it's packaging. At just under 3650 pounds (1655kg), we had to work hard to make this family Hatch handle like nothing else. And we believe we've succeeded.
Overview
Balancing sportiness and drivability was a huge priority in this car. Anyone in the family can drive track day warrior. There are 4 modes the car can operate in: Automatic, Economy, Sport, Custom. Each mode tunes the suspension, transmission, and engine to meet what the name implies. Custom is a preset that users can tune themselves on the infotainment system. Active suspension, VVT settings, Geared Differential Tunes, Shift Profiles, Fuel System, TCS, and ESP are some of the things that can be adjusted with this feature.
We believe this platform gives a sense of "pure sports car". The NA V6 has a very flat torque curve, which has at least 85% of maximum torque available between 2k & 8.1k RPM. The engine is centered longitudinally, and hooked only to the rear wheels with a geared differential. While there are electronic goodies and controls, they are fully defeatable and/or adjustable. The premium double clutch transmission can operate in 3 modes. Full manual uses a stick shift and petal clutch. Semi Automatic disconnects the shifter, where a computer takes over the double clutches, and you just use the stick or flappy petals as electronic shifters. Or just put it in full automatic, and the shifter simulates a PRND layout. This makes everyone able to drive the car based on how they choose.
That brings us to comfort. To keep costs and weight managable, we've not gone super plush with interior. Not that someone buying a sporty hatch would want too much luxury. We use good, high durability, but light materials, and design it to be comfortable for the family, as well as stain resistant and supportive. You'll find enough to seat 5 comfortably. Even 6ft tall (183cm) people will have plenty of head and leg room in the back. And lets not forget about the easy to use child safety seat hookups.
On that note, Safety was a key priority in this car. Not only do you want to survive a 160MPH (257KPH) crash, should it ever happen, but you want your family to have no injuries in any normal accident. That's why there are full side & curtain airbags at every corner. Extra structure is put into the doors to help in side collisions, and crumple zones have been tested and tuned multiple times to ensure minimal stress on your loved ones.
The Technology Package in this car has a Bluetooth/USB Infotainment system with full phone integration. The 9 Speaker Polk sound system provides Mid-Woofers and Tweeters at each of the 4 corners, and a 10" sub integrated into the floor of the trunk, nestled within the custom spare tire.
Engine
We are asking a lot out of this V6. Gobs of power and revs. Smooth and quiet operation when desired. Low emissions and fuel consumption. We needed every possibility accounted for. And we are very excited. Nearly 25MPG combined in a car that is 3650lbs is no small feat. Account for the 352 Horsepower @ 7800RPM, and it's down right unbelievable. This is done without turbo, or spending ridiculous amounts of money. And to top it off, it's reliable! While it doesn't have burst a turbo gives, or the low end grunt a huge V8 gives, it has a linear, predictable, and down right fun powerband that is great to 'wind out'!
Dyno
The dyno shows what this engine is all about. Smooth, even delivery. 225-267ft-lb of torque available anywhere in the 2000RPM to 8100RPM range. Heck, with the torque and sturdy frame, this car might be down for some moderate towing! The 2500RPM to 6000RPM range is great for your daily fun. 120 to 310 HP throughout, and this is where the engine is at it's most efficient. This is in part thanks to the seamless VVL and VVT, which if it were not for the gradual change in exhaust note between 4500 and 5500 RPMs, would go unnoticed. At low RPMs, the engine is subtle and subdued. But as you climb into the 'fun' range, that all changes. The angry sounding V6 screams all the way up to the 8200RPM red line, where valve float begins to limit power output. Eco mode limits the engine to only 7000RPMs, as fuel consumption past that is significantly higher. Who really needs more than 320HP anyways?
Track & Performance
So believe it or not, the sport tuned active suspension does unspeakable things on the track. One would have a hard time believe that this car is not AWD, does not have an electronic differential, weighs 1.8 tons, and does not have racing slicks. It sticks to the road unbelievably, and that's without super aggressive down-force, though the adaptive wing helps make up for this as needed, or perfect weight distribution. But the 56F/44R RWD monster glides through the turns. With 245/35R18 in the front and 245/35R18 in the rear, these custom Toyo Tires have incredible grip. This plus the incredible active suspension system creates pure magic around the Green Hell track, completing it in 8:20. It also ties a Jaguar F-Type S on the airfield at 1:21.
While 0-60 in 5 seconds flat may not be super impressive, doing that without Launch Control with only RWD in a car of this weight is. And there are only 265s in the back. But it continues on to pull a 13.26s in the quarter mile @ 111mph. Fun, but that's not what this car is about. It's about winding through the mountain roads with your family. Or going to your local race track and showing up Mitsubishi Evos in a cheaper, heavier, RWD hatchback. But most of all, it's about Strop forgetting that his Civic ever existed!
Market
Sorry Strop, we are a little over your budget. But not much! Kirk believes that the extra dollars to make a couple of tweaks to make this car perfect for you is worth the $31,100. Plus, that price (5% markup) allows us to include a 5 Year 60,000 Mile Bumper to Bumper and a 8 Year 80,000 Mile Powertrain Warranty. Plus, we'll cover your first 30,000 miles worth of maintenance.
So Strop, when would you like yours delievered?
