Ralston Tigre - MkIV Limousine (2016)
What is luxury?
Meeting all your needs without taxing your resources.
Power?
600 kW and 1050 Nm of tractive force, spread among the four wheels. Power is directed to the road from the tractive eMotors. Power to the eMotors comes from the battery systems while in town, up to 140 kW, for zero emission driving. When it comes to untaxed power, the gas-turbine can produce up to 450 kW peak power, driving an electric generator, feeding direct to the Tractive eMotors, or charging the battery packs. The gas-turbine can also act as a range extender hybrid, the 100 litre tank providing a maximum range of 1,430 km in conjunction with the electric battery pack.
Silence.
When in all-electric mode the powertrain is near silent. In both electric and gas turbine modes, the powertrain produces almost no vibrations to the occupants within the cabin.
Emissions.
Although the burning of fossil fuels produces CO2, the Gas-Turbine combustion process decreases the production of Nitrogen compounds, Carbon Monoxide and other pollutants. On the US emission drive cycle, the car is rated at 92 eMPG equivalent.
These are the reasons the Ralston Tigre is known as the 'Road Jet'.
Comfort.
Luxury is Silence, Pace and Space. The fully appointed interior is equipped with luxury appointments including heated and cooled seats with massage function, electro-chromatic glass roof, and full Telematics and Communication. The full-sized Limousine body provides extended comfort for four passengers.
The Limousine, new for 2015 had a fully tailored rear cabin. Heated and cooled seats, massage function, fully reclined - respite from a busy world. The rear cabin is also a fully-integrated mobile office, capable of telecommuting on the move and performing conference calls.
And the performance speaks for itself.
Bearing the mark of the 'X', The Ralston Tigre - IV is not the first car to wear the hallowed Ralston coat-of-arms. Previous vehicles had been built in ultra-exclusive volumes for the Ralston family's private vehicles. Due for introduction in 2016, the Tigre will headline a new marque of low-volume exclusivity for the discerning client. The Coupe-Hardtop has been joined by other styles of vehicles of distinction, including the Limousine model shown here, sharing it's unique Gas-Turbine-Electric Hybrid powertrain.
Ralston Tigre - The Luxury Road Jet
This Lego miniland-scale Ralston Tigre MkIV Limousine (2016) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 95th Build Challenge, - "Designing the Ralston Legacy", - for the design of vehicles under the fictional 'Ralston' company. The models must include a 'X' design feature on the car or bike. A number of Ralston challenge vehicle concepts are possible in this challenge.
