Industry Digest 31 Release Radar

With Awesion's surprise return, alongside a stylish but subdued debut from TDR, March gave us some anticipated releases. As usual, Carblox is not sponsored by any of these brands.

 

The NVNA Acesera is Back Again

On March 3rd, APEXGROUP owner Avxnturador took to both Autoworks and Twitter to unveil the highly anticipated next-generation NVNA Acesera. The titular supercar model has been delivering models since 2018, and is one of the few ro-automotive cars to make it into mainstream games such as Greenville, Pacifico 2, and more.


The new model wasn't made by APEXGROUP alone though, as the Model11 Acesera was designed by well-known creative venture studio Elektrisk, and the new model's development was aided by Uemuki Group's renown hypercar manufacturer, Electility.

Elektrisk owner, BlindedEpisode, also had this to say about his part in designing the refined Acesera:

"I am proud to take part in designing the #Model11 Acesera for NVNA alongside Axvnturador. It will be the cornerstone of NVNA's design language that demonstrates the duality of strength and sensuality. The assertive stance of the Acesera at the all-important front quarter view gives the impression that it is ready to pounce at a moment's notice. The manipulation of reflections and curvaceous shoulders portray a sense of lust to the bodywork. A crease slashes the side of the door to unify the new Model 11 with prior iterations of the nameplate."

Blinded also noted that this is just a collaboration, but went further to reveal Elektrisk's automotive side-kick to their cinematic project's protagonist Elly, the Elektrisk FP.3 roadster, would be adopting NVNA's Skies as a successor to the production studio's somewhat limited NeuronOS, which was brought to market in 2021 with the Elektrisk Polaris 2 crossover SUV, which was semi-controversial, and now is discontinued. BlindedEpisode is also joining APEXGROUP as a designer.


Keisozoku, Electility and Uemuki Group's CEO and founder, also had some words to say in a announcement in the Electility Discord shortly after the Model11 Acesera was unveiled, alongside words about the brand's growth since it's beginnings in 2020:

"Our collaboration with NVNA on the Acesera symbolises a new era for Electility, where you can experience our class leading drive units in more than just Fremtid or our various other models. From our humble beginnings with (to be honest) an underwhelming box on wheels — some would call it the challenge car — to having our popularity boom with the FX and continuing the blaze with Fremtid II and the various concepts, we can only thank you. Thank you for supporting us for so long. Especially those that have saw us from the very beginning."

The A-Chassis maker told the public the new model would be coming to Greenville, Pacifico 2, and autumn bliss relatively soon, with marketplace models debuting in late 2023. Carblox will keep you updated on all things NVNA, Electility, and Elektrisk.

 

Konian Cars Coming Close to Release

Konian owner T3STAR informed the public about completely understandable personal matters that have lead to his reduced activity, the builder gave more insight into his upcoming releases, the 1971 KMC Hammerhead muscle coupe, and the 2008 Konian Excellente sports coupe.


The Hammerhead has been subject to multiple revisions of the taillight design, to the point, T3STAR deemed it presentable enough for a full public reveal. The blue muscle car's style is very, well, muscular, with real-life competition being found in the 1969 Camaro.

We also got a little more information on the Excellente of 2008, where T3STAR said:

"As for the Excellente, release is pretty soon. It's pretty much read to go, just need to fix a few things."

T3STAR also made an additional plan to be more straightforward with the announcements he makes for Konian, revealing information over time rather than "drip feeding teasers as everyone seems to be doing as of late."

 

Headline: Roblox International Motor Show 2023

Autoworks is back again in August with RIMS 2023, the ro-automotive hub announced in mid-March. The exciting new autoshow has only given the public one image of what the venue is planned to look like, but with the track record Autoworks has on decent to excellent autoshows, paired with the relatively good amount of time since the last truly major trade show, with Spring Expo of Automobiles being notably smaller, the hype is growing.
