Industry Digest 17

Hard to write due to school, but was able to finish this Digest. Also, yes, I couldn't think of a good pun/headliner for this one so there is no headline. Enjoy!

 

Centrum Soon

This is the all new Nucleus Centrum! If you were present at IAS 2021, you may remember the early prototype shown at the show. If not, here is the front of that from CarBlox's Discord server below.

Comparing the two at the front, it's clear to see the differences, such as boxier blindside mirrors that are a smidgen closer to the body, a singular light bar with two small probable turning indicators, some black (grill or blacked out) accents added underneath the lights, replacing the black/dark grey base curve on the older version, and the newer looks more polished overall (as to be expected).


IssizArda, CEO of Nucleus, has not told us a release date or plan, giving us only three cryptic yet self explanatory words: "Centrum is ready".


We expect the car to drop soon.

 

Origala Delayed Twice More

When you make a automobile as hyped as the UniQ Origala/Venus' Viteza Spyder (Chroma doesn't seem to be making their own take on these cars), expect a TON of orders. So far, only Electility, Gothard, and Uemuki CEO/Owner 4rotr has gotten their car, and that was back in July.

Now, v3terann, CEO of UniQ, has said, quote,

"Though sadly there was some miscommunication and some technical difficulties about and with the Origala but overall we are glad you got to see the Origala and the all-new Maskarada concept."

This was on the IAS ended and, quoting again from the 28th of August:

"Origala production will be taking a pause due to personal issues."

Now, what personal issues are causing delays, we all know. CEO v3terann CRASHED his Hyundai Genesis Coupe earlier this week, and the car is possibly totaled. He flipped a truck, but thankfully, he is unharmed. Due to this event, he is putting his company on hold. Everyone who pre-ordered an Origala has been understanding following this event thankfully and he isn't hurt.


As of today, the production pause is still in effect, and UniQ has not sent out the second Origala. The company says it will release the model publicly but it wants to get the pre-orders out to those people first.

 

Proton Reveals New Horizon SUV

In late August, Proton, owned by qrzaDev, revealed it's new Horizon full size SUV in video form. It was at the Cars & Coffee, but due to my laptop's extremely poor specs, it never fully loaded in for me, as well as Proton's CEO wanting a video for it.

The company plans on showcasing it at well, the Winter Showcase that is being hosted by Autoworks.

 

Say "Hiya!" to Maia!

i_BOLT has started a new company underneath Quo Automotive called Maia. This Japanese brand looks really nice and is working on it's first car: a bus featuring a design that is the same on both sides. Though, do not mistake it for being omnidirectional. We saw it originally in action in this video here and here.


The release date is not known. We also got a glimpse at the Maia Kaeru, but it doesn't seem to be the bus shown at first.

We'll follow up as time goes on.

 

For the first time in CarBlox history.
