"Simplistic elegance"

 

The entry-level option available from Cipher's stable. The Ayvūir forgoes the fancy aerodynamic and exotic shape shifting materials in favor of a lighthearted and enjoyable purist experience. The Ayvūir could be called analog in a sense that it does not take a team of experienced technicians to maintain it like modern vehicles, as repairs and moderate levels of maintenance can easily and singlehandedly be completed by the mechanically inclined. Cipher designed the Ayvūir to be easy to live with, but at the same time a force to be reckoned with. Whereas the C1 is an uncompromising beast focused on devouring circuits, the Ayvūir dials the aggression down for a balanced nature of comfort anytime you require it and performance every time you desire it.

 

Created with a mid-front engined layout, the Ayvūir is a rare treat in the world of mostly mid-rear engined supercars. In order to be competitive in the segment, the Ayvūir is almost entirely constructed out of carbon fiber. Cipher opted to reap performance gains by using more composite materials throughout the Ayvūir's build than intended; like carbon body panels, bonnet, roof, seats, interior trim, underbody, and most importantly a carbon monocoque; most of which were initially to be made of aluminum. The Ayvūir does not have an active aerodynamic system, but compensates with a passive system in the forms of a sculpted underbody and flow-through air channels that direct air flow entering from behind the front wheels, through molded channels in the door sills of the monocoque and out on to the rear diffuser. The roof of the Ayvūir has a gradual curved rake that ends on a tapered edge; a modern callback to the teardrop designs of the twentieth century.

 

The Ayvūir makes due with a brutish 800 horsepower turbocharged 5.0 L V8 that has the same basic architecture as the protean engine of the C1 when it grows to displace 5 liters. Cipher decided to not build the Ayvūir's engine, turbos, or transmission with the Adaptive Aluminum alloy featured in the C1 series because the current means of producing the shape-shifting aluminum is limited, and would not only make the Ayvūir redundant in terms of performance, but the price would be just a few thousand short of the C1.

 

Cipher's WonderGuard clear coat developed for the C1 makes its return on the Ayvūir. The polymer mimics fibroblasts found in organisms and automatically heals itself in a matter of seconds whenever light cosmetic damage occurs such as scrapes and slashes, keeping the body of the Ayvūir blemish free. Maintaining the body as smooth as possible aides with aerodynamics by having the airflow be as uninterrupted and "clean" as possible. Cipher replicated the regenerative properties of WonderGuard with glass. Dubbed CrystalGuard, the glass used on the entirety of the Ayvūir can regenerate from any non-catastrophic damage. Impairments such as hairline cracks, spiderweb fractures, and impact chips heal within minutes. CrystalGuard is also applied on the tempered glass covers used for the head/tail lights and even the door mirrors.
