It's 1997, the economy is in the middle of the Dot-Com boom and is showing no signs of slowing. With this huge influx of wealth more and more people can afford, and are looking at getting their hands on the hottest luxury cars available on the market. Seizing this opportunity your company finds this an irresistible chance to produce some top tier cars to not only rub elbows with the likes of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Bentley, and other big names in the lands of luxury, but also a to try to get a piece of the high profit margin that a luxury line can bring.

Feast your eyes on the RM Cetacea, powered by nothing less than a 546hp 5.5L V8.

Riso, what on earth are with those ultra low profile bicycle wheels? It looks like some homie from da hood went and pimped dat ride with 24" rims or something. All we need now is spinners and you'd be set :lol:

546 Horsepower?

I might be in trouble, considering my fat 6.3 Liter engine doesn't even make 300 Horsepower. :shock:

Don't worry. Power is not super important here I imagine. 300hp should be sufficient for most super luxury sedans.

Meet the Storm Baron.

Honestly, the hardest part for me? Trying to find out how to spend 40k. I built the first variant of it and just about had a 17k car. Took a lot of effort to make it more expensive, but quite worth it. Fuel efficiency has never been my problem, I build to a very specific rule when making non-crazy car builds, and it gives me lots of fuel efficiency.
