The AAPC Ardeshir was unveiled on December 30, 2018, and entered production in 2019. The Ardeshir, named after the Sasanid king, is a mid-sized car available in wagon and sedan form. The car was also exported internationally to many different countries, most notably all EU member states, the UK, America (brief stop in sales there that lasted from 2021-24 before AAPC brought it back there by early 2025), Russia, and Australia (where it is also sold in ute form). The car was a landmark success in Aquilla, signaling the rebuilding of the Aquillian automotive industry, and was majorly successful in African and Eastern Bloc countries, as well as modestly succeeding in America. It was built on a new platform called “Typhoon”. A second generation is set to be released around 2027-29. ____________________________________________ Engine: 2.3l I4, 220 hp @4900 RPM (base), 3l V6, 300 hp @5500 RPM, (Amenitie only) 3.5l V8, 500 hp at @8500 RPM (Sport only) Transmission options: 6-speed manual (Sport only), automatic, CVT Capacity: 6 passengers Infotainment: 4-inch screen or 8-inch touchscreen, both include CD players Top speed: 120-150 mph (Sport goes 185 mph) Trim lines: Base, Base Wagon, Limited, Limited Wagon, Amenitie, Amenitie Wagon, Sport, Sport Wagon Price: $19,000 (Base), $22,000 (BW), $25,000 (Limited models), $35,000 (Amenitie models), $65,000 (Sport models), $25,000 (Hybrid) ____________________________________________ Extra info: The Sport models are sleepers, and have only limited outside indicators of their nature.
