nice fanfiction bro cool story bro so anyway- "This thing drives like the way the band Clutch sounds. So, in short, really really well." -Ted Mattix The Neo Zephyr is a sports 3+1 coupe that was manufactured from 1969-1972 with no facelifts. Description: Based on an old Bruckell concept with it's narrow-set rear wheels and mid-mounted transverse V-8 engine. Instead of using the dated Bruckell V-8, Neo created a free-revving W-6 engine (Three sets of two cylinders in a rather narrow angle) which made lots of high-end torque. The visual aspect of the car was strange, the rear suspension was rather exposed as the aluminum body didn't entirely cover the rear end, it had quad circle tail-lamps on the narrow rear, flip-out lights in the front bumper, a keypad to open the doors, a pop-up spoiler that lifted after you reached 60 miles an hour, and was painted bright Neo orange with matte black trim. It handled like a go kart and drove like a Bolide according to some testers. Performance: Pre-Emissions W-6: 3.2 liter engine making 212 HP and 261 Torque, used three two barrel side draft carbs. Post-Emissions: See above but with 198 HP and 249 Torque, used Colossus EFI for better MPG. Sales: Over it's 3 years of production, 451 cars were sold (This includes three turbocharged prototypes and the #61 W-9 racecar.) and they have a rather good survivability rate, with just under 300 still running today.
You can just as well call the dev cars "fanfiction". Also, I'm not sure such a small manufacturer would have the money for its own engine, and 3+1 seems rather wasteful of space.
No fun allowed am I right? Everything must be solely built for efficiency and maximum interior room. I thought you could assume by narrow set rear wheels that the body got thinner the further you went back, so it would make sense to have less seats in the rear than in the front. 3 seats is just one single bench seat with a flat floor due to the engine being set behind the cabin.
Sports cars aren't the prime sort of car for a bench seat, due to the bucket seat holding being desired.
Again. This isn't made for efficiency or market sales. It's built the same way that Lamboringini made their cars in the 70s and 80s: "What purpose does this serve? Nothing? Who cares put it on there anyways." It's also a bit more of a long-legged GT car, hence lots of high-end torque and good aero.
Lamborghinis actually seem more coherent than this, and a bench seat would actually be detrimental in such a car.
-more seating room -cheaper to make -shifter's in the dash anyways -marginally heavier, keeps the weight distribution 50/50 towards the front -fits more people
"Does this please you two?" -Ted Mattix The Neo Zephyr is a sports 2+1 coupe that was manufactured from 1969-1972 with no facelifts.

Instead of using the dated Bruckell V-8, Neo created a free-revving W-6 engine (Three sets of two cylinders in a rather narrow angle) which made loads of high-end torque from the novel cylinder configuration. The visual aspect of the car was strange, the rear suspension was rather exposed as the aluminum body didn't entirely cover the rear end, it had quad circle tail-lamps on the narrow rear, flip-out lights in the front bumper, a keypad to open the doors, a pop-up spoiler that lifted after you reached 60 miles an hour, and was painted bright Neo orange with matte black trim.

It made sense in a family car. But in a sports car, the 2-bucket setup and its sporting utility appealed to buyers far more. And a column-mounted shifter was the domain of ordinary boring cars.
Again, this isn't a sports car. It's a GT car. Shifter isn't in the steering collumn it's in the dashboard. It's also a four speed automatic as to not make it to complicated to shift because of where the shifter is placed.
Even GTs had floor shifters back in the day, and a manual would have been a necessity with 60s torque converter slushboxes. Also, wouldn't the narrow rear track be detrimental to handling?
My Grandpa Won An Auction For A Red 1993 Chevrolet Cheyenne 2500 With A Service Body. I Like It A Lot. Its Got A Chevy Small Block, Only Goes Up To 80 mph On The Speedometer. Unfortunately I Don't Have A Phone To Take Pictures Of It. But I Did Find Some Pictures Of Similar Truck. The Interior Of My Grandpa's Truck Has White Fur Headliner And White Fur Bench Seats And Red Plastic Dash
