Seragi Lyra 1.0

A Japanese sports coupé from the early 1960s.

    "Are you indecisive? When presented with a choice, do you collapse into a nervous heap on the floor? Seragi has just the thing to make your life even worse. The '62 Lyra is a compact sports coupe - named after the binary star system Beta Lyrae - which was available in FF, FR and RR layouts. This degree of option-availability quickly proved to be prohibitively expensive, extremely complex and very poorly thought out. Weren't the 60's just fantastic?"

    Built between 1961-68, the Seragi Lyra was an attempt by Seragi to please everyone. This meant it was available, as previously stated, in front-engine - rear-wheel drive, front-engine - front-wheel drive, and rear-engine - rear-wheel drive. While it might seem like a smart idea to have so many options, it quickly became apparent to Seragi that designing and building all the different models became exceedingly expensive. This resulted in the rear-engine - rear-wheel drive model being cancelled in 1963, while the rest of the lineup trodded onward.

    The front-engine - front-wheel drive Lyra became well-liked for it showing excellent handling and ease of use.

    The front engine - rear-wheel drive Lyra became the most popular model, being sporty, fun and most importantly, cheap.

    The rear-engine - rear-wheel drive model was expensive and overcomplicated, but is a lot of fun with its rear-heavy layout.

    Then, in 1964...

    Even if you're indecisive, there is no question when it comes to what all enthusiasts really want - more performance. The Lyra "Extra" features beefed up lowered suspension, increased output to a massive 120 horsepower, lightened components, big yellow foglights and a rockin' paint job. Don't worry - you can still have it in both FF and FR configurations.すごい!!!

    In 1964, Seragi introduced the Lyra Extra, available with a front-engine layout and either front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. This version, with an increased horsepower output to 120, sits much lower, rides harder and is much more sharp overall. While the rear-wheel drive model is a blast, the front-wheel drive model is the real ace fighter, having incredible cornering abilities.

    This car contains 5 variants, all of which with unique properties. They took a while to make, so I hope you will enjoy them!

    5/5,
    Version: 1.0
    I don't think there's anyone who can make cars as genuinely good as Secrane. The designs manage to be simple enough to not seem too try hard, yet are incredibly detailed and full of flavour. They all look like actual real life classics, while not looking like any of the real life classics. The Lyra is just the last in a line of many.
