Almost every world in the known Sphere sports high-end, high-performance sports cars,
 
such as the Avanti Starfire, the Hughes-McCandless Streak, and the Scion-Nissaki
 
Hyperion. The average citizen couldn’t readily afford such quality vehicles until Durandel-
 
British unveiled their Blue Nova convertible for the [[3067]] model year. Priced almost
 
twenty percent less than the Starfire, the Blue Nova achieves some of its savings with a
 
re-engineered 2750-model Outworlds Motors utility vehicle engine, which is mated to a
 
carefully engineered exhaust system that provides a convincing aural illusion of a
 
powerful engine. In fact, the Blue Nova is notoriously underpowered.
