The Silcantar Valthalion is a all-wheel drive 4-wheel steering mid-engined supercar. It is powered by a transverse-mounted V8 engine located directly behind the driver's seat, which is placed in the center of the car, like in the McLaren F1. The passenger seat is located to the left of the driver's seat, with the position of the McLaren's second passenger seat occupied by the 4-speed manual transmission.
Valthalion's styling cues are primarily drawn from Formula 1 racecars, Ford GT, and Audi R8. Like a Formula 1 racer, Valthalion lacks fenders over the wheels. While this is probably not an aerodynamic advantage, it increases playability by increasing suspension travel and it looks freakin' awesome. If you were to remove the roof and front headlights, Valthalion would likely closely resemble a Formula 1 car due to its chassis and body design. The large front grill was largely inspired by Audi R8, and blends influences from American muscle cars and modern supercars. Because it combines features from muscle cars and supercars, Valthalion coincidentally resembles Ford GT, with its long hood and fastback and low profile.
Valthalion began as an attempt to create a supercar with low ground clearance from the parts of the 8880 Super Car. My primary, if not only, gripe with 8880 is that it looks like a Lamborghini Gallardo body welded to the chassis of a Dodge Ram. While this makes for great playability, it looks pretty ugly. Valthalion's wishbones are horizontal in their normal position, unlike 8880's, which are angle down at about 30 degrees. The result is a car with a total height less than twice the diameter of the wheels. The omission of fenders was an unintentional consequence of the low profile. It is pretty much impossible to create fenders for this car that give the suspension remotely reasonable travel and are not half the height of the windshield.
Valthalion, like Silcantar, is derived from Sindarin (one of Tolkein's elvish languages), and means "dauntless strength". (Silcantar, coincidentally, means "light bearer", roughly).

A team from UNON's technical support on standby to respond to any IT technical problems issues that may arise during registration and throughout the second session of the Preparatory Committee of the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) taking place in Nairobi 14-16 April 2015 © UN-Habitat
The city of Glasgow contains the highest concentration of tower blocks in the UK, examples include the Hutchesontown estate in the Gorbals, the ten 20-storey blocks in Sighthill, and the famous Red Road flats in Balornock, the tallest social housing estate in Europe when they were built. Many are now earmarked for demolition as part of the cities plans for regeneration. However, 96 tower blocks in Glasgow will also be refurbished in the next ten years.
Technically this building still exisits but it is barely recognisable since the major conversion a few years ago. Apart from the first floor brick dressings (some lost behind extensions) it is all rendered and painted cream, with a grey slate roof and UPVC windows. However, it is discreet but not dull, in keeping with the area, and well maintained.
In 2019 the colour scheme was changed: the brickwork sadly whitewashed but the walls painted a pleasant pale blue (the colour of blue-lace agate).
