Murk Motors Pinnacle (3638)

Murk Motors Pinnacle (3638-39)

Also dubbed 'WidowMaker,' the Pinnacle incorporated a miniaturized Dama II drive for use on the road - with disastrous results. Hailed as 'the most dangerous car ever built' the Pinnacle broke nearly every land-speed record but also clinched the record for most fatalities in a single year, model, or manufacturer.

In 3639 the Portan Racing Council declared that any incorporation of a space-drive was not a race-legal motor platform. Combined with the massive press push-back, Murk dropped the design entirely, and recalled the existing Pinnacles with a 90% reimbursement for the purchasers. The 'WidowMaker' remains the worst failure in Murk's history, though it was quickly forgotten in the rush for colonization, opening up new areas for consideration in vehicle type and purpose.
