VLT Motors (Van Luxemburg), an automobile manufacturer from Van Luxemburg launched in Askholme today.

The name is familiar because they have had a presence through grey imports here for a few years now.

They will be marketing two models; the L3 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13204254&postcount=7) and the L5 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13231412&postcount=10).

VLT L3
The L3 is a family automobile which is available only as a three-door hatchback, and is available with 1.4-litre/158bhp turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol.

<s>It will be priced at $28,995 for the base model, and $29,490 for the automatic version.</s>

VLT L5
The L5 is a mid-size automobile. It will be offered here only in a four-door sedan bodystyle, and there is a choice of two petrol engines: a 1.4-litre/158bhp 4-cylinder turbo, and a 1.4-litre/198bhp 4-cylinder turbo petrol.

There is one trim level only, and it comes with manual or automatic transmission.

<s>Prices are $32,190 for the base model, and $33,250 for the automatic version.</s>

Distribution is handled by VLT Astholm, and all cars come with a 5-year warranty, and can be serviced at any of VLT's 40 official dealerships
(20 more to open soon).

VLT does not have an official distributor for Askholme, but they are now officially sold here, and parts supply for older VLT cars will continue.

Askholme's motoring press has yet to test these vehicles; but we expect positive reviews from one of the best motor manufacturers there is.

TO: The United Kingdom of Askholme

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have heard of the export issues to the United Kingdom in Askholme. Seeing there is enough sales potential, we feel that it is necessary to establish an official distributor in Askholme. Therefore, we have authorised the establishment of a sub-division of VLT Astholm, namely VLT Askholme.

All vehicles will be available with a choice of either a 6-speed manual transmission, or the 6-speed DCT-technology semi-automatic gearbox that can be driven in both manual and automatic mode.

Models other than the L3 and L5 can of course be ordered via VLT Askholme.

Signed,
Hans Schmidt,
Director of Sales
VLT Automotive Group N.V.
