Motorcar Announces World's Most Expensive $2 Million Production
Automobile
DiMora Motorcar (www.dimoramotorcar.com)
announces that it has begun work on the Natalia SLS 2 sport luxury
sedan, the world's first $2 million production automobile. The
Natalia will feature dozens of innovations, most never seen before
in a production automobile.
The variable-cylinder, aluminum DiMora Volcano V16 engine will
deliver 1200 horsepower to the four steerable 24-inch wheels running
on innovative flat-free tires. The chassis and body will be
lightweight by using aerospace composites and structures. The
Natalia will have brains as well as brawn. Onboard there will be
over 50 computer systems controlling every aspect of this sport
luxury sedan.
The Natalia will sense the emotional state of the driver including
stress, heart, and temperature levels. This information will be fed
into the onboard computers for interactions with the driver such as
adjusting the interior temperature and lighting, the type of music
being played, and how the brake and accelerator pedals respond to
foot pressure. The computers will even talk with the driver in
circumstances such as when drowsiness is detected.
The Natalia will have the latest state-of-the-art operational,
navigational, computer, communication, and entertainment systems.
Environmental conditions will be controlled by each passenger and
the parked car will be kept cool or warm (as appropriate) for hours
with the engine off. Rear seat passengers will be able to enjoy a
soothing high-tech massage. The unique beverage holders will heat or
cool drinks. For the convenience of the handicapped, the front
passenger seat will slide to the right, rotate 90 degrees, and lower
the passenger to the ground.
The founder, CEO, and driving force behind DiMora Motorcar is Alfred
J. DiMora, who produced two of America's finest luxury automobiles,
the Clenet (as owner) and the Sceptre (as co-founder). He and the
Clenet were inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1986 for
the Centennial Year of the Gas-powered Automobile. He also
co-founded Star Bridge Systems, which developed the hypercomputers
now used by NASA and other technology leaders.
According to DiMora, "The goal for the Natalia is to be completely
distinctive from bumper to bumper—the most powerful four-door sport
luxury automobile in transportation history. The Natalia will set
the standard for 21st Century automotive excellence."
DiMora further states, "I have drawn on my 30 years of automotive
and computer expertise to design this futuristic vehicle, one that
is safe, efficient, luxurious, nimble, and powerful."
As part of the production of this unique automobile, DiMora Motorcar
will employ a first-time-ever approach for the auto industry--the
world will watch the design, build, and test of the Natalia. Anyone
with Internet access will be able to view this remarkable
educational material via video-streamed webcams transmitting from
the company's facilities. The DMC website will afford people the
opportunity to comment on Natalia's design as it progresses and to
submit their automotive innovations. DiMora states, "Many of the
best ideas are created by individuals in their garages."
Among the many ways DMC will entertain the followers of the
Natalia's creation, DiMora Motorcar is planning to award prizes to
thousands of people in a worldwide treasure hunt that will culminate
with one very lucky person winning the grand prize—a $2 million
Natalia SLS 2.
