Re: DQE - Design, Quality, Emotion

DQE recently visited the Queen. She said she wanted a new car but would only buy anything non-british if i could totally convince her with one of my own cars. She said, she wanted high comfort, at least 600hp so that she would never be late, and safety was the number one priority because well... it's the Queen. Obviously, the price didn't matter. So i went on and created a luxury saloon for her, the Royal:

When i turned up at the Buckingham Palace in this car, she was very thrilled about its looks. I opened the passenger door for her and then took the driver seat myself. I started the engine, a 7.0L I6T which is as smooth as double cream, just perfect for her majesty. Then i drove her to her next meeting and she felt the power and torque of that massive engine, but the power didn't punch her into the seat like in a Ferrari or Lamborghini, it gently pressed her into the soft leather seats which were massaging her in the mean time while accelerating like a proper supercar.

Image


After her meeting, she said she had already closed Britain's main highway for 5 miles to see how fast this car could really go. I floored the throttle and immediately, she realized that this car was just faster than all the Bentleys and Rolls Royces currently in production. Even at speeds of over 300km/h, she felt totally safe and comfortable. Also, she found it a pleasant surprise that this car uses less than 10l/100km (not that fuel economy would matter but still). She liked it a lot. So much in fact, that she signed the contract and bought the car. For 500.000€.


Greets,

I clearly have the wrong impression of the Queen's personality ;).

Re: DQE - Design, Quality, Emotion

The Queen's back might hurt a bit in that car! The profile of the tyres is very low and the bump rating... Ouch. ;) At least you tried to compensate that with comfy seats.

@Der Bayer: Yeah, but you know... 20" rims had to be on there, you can't have huge rims AND high tyre profile :/

Re: DQE - Design, Quality, Emotion

Despite selling 1 car to the Queen, DQE's hard efforts didn't pay off at the end. The cars didn't sell well enough so unfortunately, the company will be closed shortly. But don't worry, its owner was able to take out a loan which enabled him to build a new factory. It will be opened within the next week, so stay tuned! :) The first new models are already being designed on the drawing boards (virtual ones because my freehand drawing is terrible), and they will be (even) less conservative than before.

Greets,
Tom
