"Catalyst for the future"
Cipher's Typhureon is the realization of a dream had by the CEO of Rogue automotive that began while under the oppressive regime of its senior partners. At Rogue the Typhureon was known as the Sequencer. Prior to the ousting of Rogue's directors the Sequencer was meticulously engineered and designed to be one of the best performing vehicles of its time. The end result was ordered by the partners to be severely watered down with lesser components in order to allow its established stablemates to shine. A plummeting stock and internal hostility allowed Rogue's CEO to oust the executive partners and return Rogue to a smaller, albeit private company. During the ousting Rogue's CEO transferred the Sequencer to Cipher Automotive, and at its new home the Sequencer received the treatment it deserved.
Visually the Typhureon remains relatively unchanged from the Sequencer. Notable changes applied to the Typhureon are a new LED lighting system for the head and tail lamps, exhaust ports, spoiler mounts, and hood air-egress embellishments. The body remains relatively unchanged in shape, with every curve, scoop, kink, and line recreated in carbon fiber. A revised underbody is sculpted to increase aerodynamic performance. The failed HDCS of the Sequencer concept remains absent, even from the Typhureon despite numerous attempts by Rogue and Cipher to make the performance system work.
At Cipher the Typhureon was produced in limited quantities, and built to the Sequencer's originally intended specifications. A carbon fiber monocoque with aluminum substructures replaced the steel chromoly chassis resulting in a significant reduction in weight. Aluminum is used in place of steel for the engine, magnesium is used for the wheels, and Inconel is used for the exhaust. The Sequencer's body was made from aluminum, but the Typhureon's is constructed out of carbon fiber. The important changes are below the carbon skin; a retuned engine, larger turbochargers, revised suspension components, and lightweight exhaust system are used in place of the lesser components found on the Sequencer. The twin turbocharged 5.0 liter V8 generates 800 hp —200 more than the Sequencer— comfortably positioning itself amongst the supercar elite. Four wheel steering absent in the Sequencer is equipped to supplement the nimble handling characteristics of the Typhureon.
Building the Typhureon to its original specifications and upgrading key components, was not sufficient to compete against its newly updated rivals. The turbocharged engine, although potent, lacked the refinement needed to make the Typhureon a considerable option over its contemporaries. Although the Typhureon was a well performing vehicle, it was a tough sell during its time. Not many will purchase a supercar from a recently established marque with no history or pedigree. An unsuccessful run ended Cipher's first offering after one year with only 64 units built. Instead of quitting the automotive business, Cipher decided to double down its entry into the future hypercar battle royale by establishing a subsidiary in Ojai and starting development of a mid-rear engined hybrid platform. The subsidiary would form into Fuego Motorworks, and the hybrid would become the formidable Cipher C1.
