Database Entry

 * For many, the name Rayfield is synonymous with wealth - and for good reason. The price of the Rayfield Aerondight exceeds the GDP of many island nations. And it's worth nothing this British-made ultra-luxury, ultra-performance masterpiece is worth every enny of it. The pedigree engine under its hood puts this car on equal footing with professional racing vehicles, and the interior feels like a 5-star penthouse suite. But if that's not enough to get you excited, the Aerondight doesn't have a single window. With the help of CrystalDome, the vehicle's surroundings are displayed in real time inside the cabin, ensuring complete driver privacy and a stunning experience.

Message: Rayfield Aerondight "Guinevere"

 * "V! I have a great deal for you - a Rayfield Aerondight "Guinevere"! It belonged to the ambassador of Argentina... that is, until the country returned to martial law and the only thing waiting for him there was a noose, so he sold everything he could and fled the city. He didn't try to bargain with me - the sign of a smart man. I too would be smart if I were you and get your cash ready, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The world ain't exactly teeming with these beauties. Everyone wants to be unique, stand out, be noticed - I know you do too. The Aerondight can make that happen." - Wakako Okada

Trivia

 * The overall design of the Aerondight seems to be inspired by 2025 Bugatti Aerolithe Concept, originating from the 1935 Bugatti Aerolithe Prototype, additionally inheriting a similar name.
 * Aerondight is a sword in The Witcher games, which is also in turn named after Lancelot's sword in Arthurian Legend. This is further reinforced by the second name of the vehicle being "Guinevere", whom Lancelot had an affair with.
