Archer Quartz EC-L r275

The Archer Quartz EC-L R275 is a vehicle manufactured by Archer in. It bears a strong resemblance to mid-engined compact cars of the 1980s, particularly the 1st generation Toyota MR2 (AW11), Pontiac Fiero, and Fiat X1/9.

Overview
Bearing the angular lines and low profile of popular civilian vehicles from a hundred years prior, the Quartz is the car of choice for those who have enough Eurodollars to afford a set of wheels that have more than two pedals and a chain. It's popular with Nomads for its endurance and reliability in the rough, trackless wastes of the Badlands and the lower classes of Night City for its small size and mobility in the tight streets and alleys of downtown.

Specifications
Like all other cars in the game, it runs on CHOOH2 biofuel.

Journal Entry

 * After Archer released the Hella, the company ran into trouble. The popular family car proved so reliable and affordable that it quickly saturated the market. To avoid self-cannibalization, Archer was forced to diversify its portfolio by expanding into the sports car sector. The fruit of their efforts finally emerged in 2041 with the Quartz. This two-seater with a durable engine was marked at an approachable price, but the subtle elegance and sturdiness of its design made it popular among more than just the urban middle class. The Quartz is, as it turns out, well suited to endure the harsh desert climate. As a result, it has become a mainstay vehicle for a large portion of the nomad population. Any cityfolk who have dared risk interstate ground transport can likely testify that the silhouette of a Quartz on the horizon spells fast-approaching trouble.
