The Silver Kit
The Silver Kit is a custom made car formerly owned by the The Silver Fox and inherited by his successor The Vermillion Vulpes. It was supposedly built for him by MI6 and no expensive was spared. The Silver Kit was a bleeding edge one off super vehicle back in the late 1960s when it was built and even today can hold its own against modern vehicles employed by superspies, heroes and villains. It was used durring the later years of the Silver Foxs career and the first year of the Vulpes vigilante career before she designed her personal vehicle.
Power Generation
Primary Power Source: Gasoline-Driven Combustion Engine
High-Performance Internal Combustion Engine (ICE):
Engine: 5.0L Inline-Six with a Roots Supercharger.
Fuel: High-octane aviation fuel blend to achieve peak performance.
Output: 600 hp, more than capable of powering the car and auxiliary systems.
Fuel Capacity: Dual fuel tanks with a total capacity of 30 gallons (113.5 liters).
Range: ~400 miles (640 km) under normal driving conditions, reduced during high-performance operations.
Secondary Power Source: Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) A mechanical flywheel energy storage system captures braking energy. Stores energy mechanically (not electrically) and releases it for short bursts of power to:
Boost engine output for quick acceleration.
Power auxiliary systems during combat or stealth operations.
Auxiliary Power Source: Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs)
Converts waste heat from the engine and exhaust into electrical power.
Powers most of the car’s gadgets, lights, and communication systems independently of the primary engine,
Power Management System
Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems:
Controls gadgets like retractable weapons, grappling hooks, and suspension adjustments.
Powered by the main engine, reducing reliance on electricity.
Advanced Battery Backup:
A compact, high-capacity nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery pack for emergency power. Ensures critical systems remain operational if the engine is disabled
Stealth Power Management
When stealth is required, the Silver Kit can:
Switch to low-energy modes using flywheel and thermoelectric power only.
Muffle the engine with baffled exhaust systems to reduce noise and heat signatures.
