Perinto-Porcupine Motor Company/Aquillian Automotive Production Company Bainbridge IV -- The aging 1970s era Bainbridge III was in a very dire need of a full replacement. At the same time, AAPC recieved an exception for another non-Restigouche, but to be more affordable than the street Bezuprechnyy. So, both companies collaborated on a car, and in 1990, the Bainbridge IV was released. It proved to fly off the shelves in rapid time, and by the end of 1991, 550,000 were sold. It proved to be a cheap but modular sports car, with near-Vortex levels of performance in the base trim alone, for roughly a fifth of the cost. In total, over 5 million were built, becoming by far the most successful car in the Bainbridge series. This caused a great panic within Vortex, which caused the development of the SX-2 Gambit. After the arrival of Vortex's answer, the Bainbridge continued getting updates, while its lead was eroded by the Gambit's arrival in 1996. It was discontinued in 2005 and replaced with the Bainbridge V. Notably, AAPC made special editions in 1992, 1997, 2001, and 2005 to commemorate racing victories in those years. The 1992 edition was frankly insane, the 1997 and 2001 editions were the same, and the 2005 was a hybrid demonstration. -- SPECIFICATIONS: Horsepower: 515 (620 in the 1992 Victory Edition) Engine: 4.5l V8 Top Speed: 190 MPH (225 in 1992 Victory Edition) Price: $11,000 (1990 prices) 0-60: 5.5 seconds (2.5 seconds in 1992 Victory Edition)
