Do you want a quality car which is a pleasure to drive? Do you want advanced car-technique? Do you want a car on which you can rely? The Eiffellandian car brands can offer all you want. Functionality, sportivity, quality, safety and luxury. And that all with the latest car technique available.

Especially the diesel engines from Raimer, EKW and Darner will surprise you. These engines combine the economic fuel use diesels are famous for with the power and performance of petrol engines.


Borschel

This is a car brand that produces sports cars. Its top model is the 992. It is available as coupé and as cabriolet, with a variety of engines. Also plug-in hybrids are available. The top speeds of the models range from 230 to 330 km/h.




The Borschel 887 is a smaller sportscar. It is available with different kinds of engines. The top speeds of the models range from 220 to 290 km/h.




The Borschel 786 is a small roadster. It is available with different kinds of engines. The top speeds of the models range from 220 to 275 km/h.




The Borschel Gran Viaggio is a four door sport limousine. It is the ultimate combination of sportivity and comfort. Four adult people with luggage can travel a distance of 1500 km in a day and get out of the car at the end of the day without any signs of fatigue.
Do you want a stylish and sportive car but need a bit more space, for instance for a vacation with your family, for a golf weekend or just for taking your child and a couple of team mates to a sport match? And do you want to go on that vacation, golf weekend or your child’s sport match in style? Then the Borschel Gran Viaggio Sportcombi is your car.
The Borschel Gran Viaggio is available with V6 and V8 petrol engines, and also as full hybrid. The car is a four-wheel drive. Four-wheel steering is available as option.






Borschel’s SUVs are the perfect combination of comfort, sportivity, terrain capacities and style. Conquer that rough rocky terrain, that sand desert or that snowy mountain, and do it in style with the Borschel Capsic, the sportive Borschel Capsic Coupé, or the somewhat smaller Borschel Katuva.
The Katuva is available with four-cilinder engines and V6 engines. The Capsic and Capsic Coupé are available with V6 and V8 engines. All three models are also available as full hybrids.








The Gavanta is Borschel’s first fully electric car. It is equipped with an 800 Volt battery system which makes the car faster to recharge. The car is available with a 71 kWh net capacity battery or an 83.7 kWh net capacity battery. The top speed is 250-260 km/h, the accelleration from 0 to 100 km/h lasts 2.6 seconds, and the car has a maximum range of 477 to 650 km.




The Serigala is Borschel’s newest fully electric car, an SUV in the size of the Katuva. Like the Gavanta, it is equipped with an 800 Volt battery system for faster recharge. Depending on the car’s model, the top speed is 220 to 260 km/h, and the maximum range is 518 to 641 km.




Raimer

This car company is one of the pioneers in car manufacturing, and the oldest car manufacturer in the world. Nowadays it produces high-quality luxury cars, VANs (also as ambulances), trucks, buses and all-terrain vehicles. The cars and VANs are also available as plug-in hybrids. This is a list of the current car models.

The R800 is Raimer’s top model. It is available as a sedan and as a limousine with a wide variety of engines. Also armoured versions are produced, as well as long versions. It is available with petrol engines, but also with very powerful diesel engines, as well as plug-in hybrids.




The R800 Sport is Raimer’s sports car. It it is also available as a roadster.






The R800 GT is Raimer’s sport limousine based on the R800.




With the ER800, Raimer introduces the first electric limousine. All the luxury you can wish, emission-free. With a drag coefficient of 0.20, it is currently the most aerodynamic car in production. This is one of the factors facilitating a range of 620 to 785 km.




The R600 is available as sedan, stationcar, coupé and cabriolet. It is Raimer’s higher middle class car. It is available in many variants, with three different petrol engines and three different diesel engines as well as a plug-in hybrid.










The ER600 is Raimer’s electric car in the higher middle class segment. With a battery capacity of up to 90 kWh, this car has a range of 463 to 693 km, depending on the battery size and whether the car is a rear-wheel-drive or a four-wheel-drive.

The Raimer Morvan is Raimer’s all-terrain vehicle. It is available with various petrol and diesel engines, and it is also sold in a military version. It is the standard all-terrain-vehicle of the Eiffellandian armed forces. This car is suitable for the roughest terrains, from the tundras in Scania and North-Germania to the rocky terrains and the deserts in Hymiar, and even in muddy areas.
The Morvan is also available as a 6-wheel-drive pickup truck (still from the previous model), with exceptional terrain capacities, and many possibilities to adapt the car to each terrain. It can drive through one meter deep water, and the tyres can be deflated and inflated automatically to adapt them for use on sandy soil (e.g. a sand desert). It has to be noted that the Morvan 6x6 has an empty weight of 3300 kg, i.e. close to the weight limit for conventional car licenses in Eiffelland (3500 kg). We recommend driving this car only when having a drivers licence for small trucks (drivers licence C1 in Eiffelland).
Both Morvans are available with diesel and petrol engines.






Raimer’s pick-up truck is the Zagros. It can be described best as a work horse in a tuxedo. Ideal for farmers, forest keepers and construction workers, but also for landowners to use on their inspection tours in their properties, or for hunting tours. It is also your perfect car for the deserts in Hymiar and the tundras in Scania and North-Germania. And that all while keeping up appearances.
The Zagros is available with diesel and petrol engines, as well as a full hybrid. Four-wheel-drive is standard.




The Raimer Harz is Raimer’s largest and most luxurious SUV. It combines the luxury of a limousine with terrain capabilities and a strong engine. From the Northern tundras via the snowy mountains to the Hymiari deserts, this car can handle it with the highest level of comfort. Ideal for your hunting trip, a wintersport vacation, or to pull a large boat trailer. Or to go to the golf course with your family; the trunk can easily fit five golf bags, and the car is representative.
The Harz is available with a six-in-line or a V8 petrol engine, both as mild hybrids (an electrical engine assists the petrol engine to). Furthermore, it is available with a six-in-line diesel engine. Four-wheel-drive is standard.




The Raimer Pamir was the first SUV that Raimer introduced, even before the term SUV was coined. Since then, the Pamir has built up a reputation of quality, and of comfort both in the terrain and on the road. Still today, it combines the luxury of a high-class sedan with terrain capabilities and a strong engine. It is the perfect car to pull a boat or horse trailer. The Pamir is also available as a cross-over (the Pamir Sport).
Available engines are a four-in-line (petrol and diesel), a six-in-line diesel, a six-in-line petrol mild hybrid, a V8 petrol mild hybrid and a six-in-line diesel plug-in hybrid. Four-wheel-drive is standard.

The Raimer H-Karas is Raimer’s first production car with fuel cell technique. This car is a unique concept, because its electrical engine can be powered by both a battery and a fuel cell. The fuel cell gets its power from two specially developed hydrogen tanks. The electrical engine gets its power from the battery package or the fuel cell, depending on what is most efficient. The car is a rear-wheel-drive, and has a top speed of 160 km/h. Three minutes of tanking results in a maximum reach of 437 km, excluding the additional 49 km in the battery pack.




The Raimer Pindos is Raimer’s smallest SUV. It is available in two carrosserie forms; The Pindos and the Pindos L. The Pindos L is somewhat longer than the Pindos; it has two retractable seats in the trunk.
