User blog:FMecha/On Vaporware Cars in Asphalt 8

Back in January, I wrote a reader submission for sim-racing blog Pretend Race Cars about vaporware cars from no-name startups plaguing the car list. If you looked around on the garage and never/barely paid attention to car news, you might ask yourself, "what the heck is a Trion Nemesis?" You can read the article here.

Specifically, the following cars that have appeared in the game been suspected as vaporware cars in real life:
 * TRION NEMESIS (only one shell exists. Salomondrin has a video about he being screwed over by Trion Supercars, having attended the launch event)
 * Falcon F7
 * Devel Sixteen Prototype
 * Kepler Motion (no news of delivery)
 * Lucra L148 (existence buried down on Lucra's web site)
 * nanoFlowcell QUANT FE and nanoFlowcell QUANTINO (questionable battery technology)
 * Felino cB7 (not included in the article - it's supposed to go into production but I haven't heard anything about it since.)
 * SSC Tuatara (not included in the article - the car had been announced since 2011 and Jerrod Shelby keeps postponing the car's production date - it's supposed to begin in 2017, but I haven't heard anything about it. SSC does have some credentials with the SSC Ultimate Aero XT, however.)

That is what I've had to say on this matter, although there may be other vaporware cars I may miss... and note, cars that explicitly stated as a concept cars with no intention of production does not count.
