Value for money. It's something that we often overlook here at Montuzo Engineering, as we are all constantly focused on bringing up three hundred billion horsepower red nightmares willy-nilly. Instead, Fabio Montuzo called for a meeting, ordering a week off for workers to get their eye in. "Go mad," he said "But not too mad. Let your mind run free." When the week was over, they all met up at the conference room and stated their ideas over an hour or so. While some were ridiculously insane, and others were way too boring for the younger generation, one stood out from the crowd. It was styled in the usual sense Montuzo does (i.e. awful looks, but very practical), but they haven't made it "Montuzo" insane (i.e. it didn't fall apart after 30 feet). It seemed to work so well that Montuzo stated that he had found the car to bring to New York. And so, here it is.
The $100,000 Hydra 6H.
The turbocharged 3.8 litre V6 churns out a relatively powerful 600 of your finest Portuguese horses and torques, which means it can propel from rest to 60 miles per hour in a brisk 3.4 seconds, and onto a top speed of 186mph/300kmh. While it may not be an absolutely ridiculous top speed, amount of power or torques, it makes up for this in usability. While our other builds have engines on the ragged edge in the sense that there was a high chance that it would explode when you turn the ignition switch, and others were simply not usable on the road, this is situated right in the middle - the butter-zone, if you will. It's also packed with the latest technology as standard, such as launch control, ABS, fully-adjustable suspension and more. (The full list of extras are situated below.) However, despite being family-friendly (as there is indeed four comfortable seats for your wife/husband and two children, and there being a sizable boot), the styling is less so. So less so that, when Montuzo pulled up at his house in Lisbon to pick up his wife and child, the latter got so scared of the car that he ended up soiling himself. The former was not happy at all.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS:
Radar-guided cruise control - $550
Sunroof (as shown below) - $325
Self-healing paint (very expensive, but a great option if your mother-in-law decides to take the 6H for a spin) - $3,500
Paint of your choice (available in gloss, metallic or pearlescent) - $1,000
Overwolf Package (stiffer suspension, lowered ride-height, stickier tyres, rev-limit increase from 7200RPM to 7500RPM [causing a 30bhp/23nm increase], recommended for track days) - $2,500
If the Hydra gets enough press, it is viable that Montuzo will make it into a fully-fledged production car.
AN - Please give feedback on my (hopefully) improving designing skills, and tell me how I can improve my cars. Thank you for taking your time to read.
