Hohenfriedberg Motors, named after the Battle of Hohenfriedberg, was founded in 1970 by 3 dudes living in Germany. Their goal was to redefine the standards of a luxury car, by literally making a "wheeled Palace of Versailles". It took until 1976 to finally finish their magnum opus, the Sleipnir, named after the horse of Odin. It contained a rather opulent and high-tech interior, with an infotainment system running on a derivative of Unix. It used a 550-HP V12, and weighed over 4,500 lbs. and also The car sold for $100,000 when new, an insurmountable cost at the time. The car was, however, extremely well-received. Soon afterwards, it was found that each car lost $85,000 alone. By 1980, 20 had been made, losing a grand total of $1,700,000. All cars were handmade as well. On August 19, 1980, the company filed for bankruptcy, with 2 cars undelivered, and a sports car prototype about to be tested. Vortex ended up buying the assets, and turned the Sleipnir into the Consul, as well as completing the sports car program as the Stratos. As for the tech, it became VTEC.
All by me.
