Side Note: I was away on a quick breather from the ro-automotive industry, so this will be a long one to catch up with everything I've missed over the past two days away.
Headline: ORCA to Rebrand Due to IRL Discrepancy
The company will be rebranding due to ORCA Engineering, an IRL brand of the same name. I was told this via a conversation that will be kept private. I don't know what they will be renaming the company to, but I expect this to happen soon.
ORCA Announces Teasers Incoming
Omologata recently announced upcoming teasers for the “Tiro, their upcoming sports car, and their mystery sedan”. They haven't given up any more info on any of the vehicles, and that's all anyone outside of the firm knows. So far, they've only shown this teaser down below.
Possible Electility Deux Gen 2?
Electility CEO 4rotr posted about a possible Deux Generation 2. The sequel would have three versions: S, R, and Hyper featuring specs of 80hp at 120lb/ft, 130hp at 150lb/ft, and 200+hp at 200+lb/ft for the S, R, and Hyper respectively. Nothing else is known about the car, but expect more info in the coming days.
Ceinder Coupe Mk 3 To Release Soon
lookitsweirdo, CEO of Ceinder, has announced to the community that the Coupe Mk 3 from Ceinder will be released very soon. The car has been in the works for some time. We don’t know exactly when, but it's clear it's not far.
Solara Moi is now My-cro
lushbeta3 has told everyone the Moi is now the My-cro. Nobody outside of Solara knows why, but the change was called unimportant. This won’t affect anything.
Sympex Poll Means a New Sedan Coming Sometime
Sympex did a poll on whether a hatchback, supercar, or sedan should be a car in the company’s roster. Sedan won with 7 votes, with hatchback with 6 votes trailing, and surprisingly, supercar lost with only a measly singular vote. Expect the car to be talked about soon.
Kuzumi Axium in "Final Stage"
kizashi_ho, CEO of Kuzumi Automotive (a subsidiary of Quō) has shown the community what the Axium will entail in engine specifications after staying silent for most of April since announcing the vehicle. Along with saying of a possible hatch and wagon variant in the future, the current engine options quoted here:
-1.7L Inline-3 XTEC C-EV (Plug-in combustion electric) with a standard Continuously-Variable Transmission
-1.7L Inline-4 XTEC DOHC with a 6-speed DCT, 5-speed Manual, or a Continuously-Variable Transmission.
-2.3L Turbocharged Inline-4 Reyna+ with either a 6-speed DCT or a 5-speed Manual.
The CEO also had this to say:
Active suspension and Konnect-Drive Active Drive Modes are planned to also be on trims from Keizan (base) to Kaira Limited (top).
We don't know much about the car save for design and now, engine and some driving options. I just hope they don't go silent for a long time again since the last time they mentioned the Axium was back on March 22nd.
UniQ Origala to be Revealed Sometime Soon
UniQ announced that the Origala is close to being revealed. One of the people at UniQ: Hann, told everyone it will be, and I quote:
It will be one of the most interesting fictional Supercars in Roblox, in terms of design, quality, and a lot more!
Which, with what we've heard so far about the Origala, will be nothing short of true. They also included a teaser for the upcoming auto, shown here.
Later, they also told everyone the prototype for the Origala will be seen in public soon.
UniQ Plans to Unveil Three Vehicles in 2022
UniQ has announced that three new vehicles will be revealed in 2022, starting with the long-awaited Aeromaster and two more "mystery" models to be shown in teasers soon.
divisōr Updates Logo
Divisōr has updated their logo to be “less simplistic”. This would be all if it were not for the CEO of the conglomerate, Joshuaed17REVIVAL also said something about “something special” for the display (probably IAS) being cooked up by his company’s brands: Rigbone, Trilize, Vector, Gavrill, (all car brands) and their sound brand devō. Once again, like a majority of the stories here, you need to work at the company to know more.
Upcoming Unity to Feature Giga-Panoramic Roof
The CEO, Bryan_JamRBLX has given some info on a “surprise vehicle with one interesting feature. To quote:
We have a surprise vehicle in the works. It will feature our new infinityroof© which is where the roof goes from front to back. This vehicle will be great for carrying the family, Towing the boat, (The car probably big enough to camp in), and more.
I personally think this will be a camper van such as the one in Ultimate Driving, but I could be wrong. What’s more interesting is the infinityroof©, which is apparently copyrighted. We don’t know the size of the car, but it’s probably big. We’ve seen panoramic roofs before, but this could be the first without interruption. We’ll have to wait and see.
Unity Cancels Unity Urban Development Temporarily
The manufacturer has canceled the Urban after not talking about the car for some time. The reasoning behind the action is that the US6 can fill its place on its own, along with the lack of need for the car with the US6 and Jupiter in the coming days. This is subject to change, but it will come out eventually. They also have enough on their plates at the moment right now (can relate) according to the post. They hope one of their other vehicles can satisfy instead of the Urban until it's released.
They are also redoing the US6 completely due to the car not coming out right from Blender.
CRC Reveals Livery and Teases Wings for the CR.20
CRC revealed the livery for the CR.20 racing car today. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend. We plan on doing a performance test video on the car once we can. They then posted a teaser of the sports car's wings at a raceway. Nothing else can be seen but those two things.
Elektrisk Makes Extensive 2022/ 2023 Roadmap Public
The company has announced 4 new vehicles and/or vehicle variants to its current roster. To directly quote:
Elektrisk Ersa: A 5-door hatchback, the people’s electric car.
Elektrisk Dione: A new addition to our sedan lineup, will sit between the Pluto and Celestial. No plans to make a wagon variant like the other two.
Elektrisk Venera: A grand touring car, sits in the segment of the Porsche Panamera and Geely Zeeker.
Elektrisk Nebula Coupe - An aerodynamic coupe SUV.
This would be a hell of a lot of cars the company has on its plate. The Polaris, the Nebula, both variants of the Pluto, along with now the Ersa, Dione, Venera, and Nebula Coupe version. Not to mention they plan on showing off an Elektrisk Celestial concept. This is why these new cars are so far off in the future as this is only the FOURTH month of the year.
Some People in the ROBLOX Ro-Auto Industry Want Smoothed Edges
TheJellyNinja_XD13 put out a survey on if people like more smoothed edges, showing a picture of a Trilize Victoria with this smoothing via ROBLOX's CSG. To be honest, he only got 10 votes... and 5 of them liked minor smoothed edges (2), 3 preferred mild smoothings (3), and only 2 liked the standard look of the vehicle (1). I'll put the picture of the picture below and you guys can comment yourselves down below.
Meet Cavalry and its 2008 Atlanta
Cavalry, owned by lilswaggjr seemingly, has announced their 2008 Cavalry Atlanta. Nothing else is known, but that could change soon.
Also, funny how we were talking about 2022/ 2023, and now we're back in 2008.
PIO Sets Reveal Date for New Égoïste
PIO has told everyone the reveal date for the company's new Égoïste. The unveiling will be tomorrow, the 20th (thank God, I'm on exam break tomorrow and Tuesday), and the Égoïste GT lineup will be shown five days later! I don't have pictures of any teasers, so this Strada will have to do.
Hakumi's 1990's Supra Challenger Possible?!?!
Hakumi CEO (probably) mlritc01 told everyone he's thinking of creating a competitor to the 90's Supra and GTR. This is just a possibility, but since we haven't heard much from Hakumi for some time, this seems possible. Or they have something else in store or some other reason why they've been radio silent for some time. Or I'm missing something.
[new name] Sends Condolences to Bad Boy Rapper Black Rob's Family After Recent Death
Omologata did a press release sending the condolences from the entire ORCA S.p. A's staff to the family of former Bad Boy rapper Black Rob after his recent passing. I would search him up since I have no idea who that is, but I'm not risking getting ads for rap songs.
Extra:
A new SPECIAL REPORT about the UniQ Aeromaster will be coming today as well! So stay tuned for that article's release!
Edit: Wings AREN'T for CR.20. They are for something else.
Edit: [new name] is ORCA S.p.A. I can't edit the story as the editor is on the fritz again.
