Description[]

The Aurora is a two-seater racing vehicle, featuring a bright blue chassis with a chromed stripe running down the middle. With a top speed surpassing even that of Dierker's Silver Claw mk. II and a maxed-out acceleration rating, the Aurora easily outperforms nearly all other vehicles in the game. However, as a racing vehicle it is somewhat more fragile than other vehicles though it's considerably sturdier than most of its peers in the vehicle class.

Should Sean attain the relevant perks, the Aurora can be outfitted with several upgrades. Once the Road Rage perk is acquired, the car will be outfitted with a nitrous upgrade providing a powerful boost of acceleration when used. If the The Right of Way perk is obtained, then the Aurora will have an MG42 machine gun mounted on the left side of the bonnet, giving it a powerful offensive capability.

Background[]

The Aurora was designed by Vittore Morini and built by his company, Morini Autos. The vehicle was initially maintained by Sean, before then being looked after by Jules Rousseau once Sean was designated the Aurora's driver. With hopes of winning the Saarbrücken Grand Prix in the prologue, the Aurora was loaded onto the back of a Corrino 45 and was transported across the border to Germany by Sean and Jules. Upon arrival, Jules' cousin Javier and a team of Morini mechanics began preparing the Aurora for the Grand Prix, likely moving it to the Saarbrücken race track pit area.

On the day of the Grand Prix, Sean makes excellent headway in the race and overtakes Kurt Dierker in his Silver Claw. However, Dierker pulls out his pistol and fires upon one of the Aurora's rear tyres, causing it to burst and making Sean lose control of the vehicle. As a result, Dierker is declared the winner of the Grand Prix, enraging Sean. Vittore tries to calm Sean down and advises he'll see to the Aurora's repairs before their return to France.

Sean was unable to recover the Aurora during his frantic escape from Germany, following his capture at Doppelsieg. Both Sean and Vittore assumed the Aurora had been lost forever, as she was left behind in a now-hostile nation. However, news reached Vittore that the Aurora had indeed survived, and had been moved from Saarbrücken to the Chateau commandeered by Colonel Eckhardt in the French countryside. Upon this discovery, he asked Sean to recover the Aurora, which he did with success in the mission "Repo Man".

Following this mission, the Aurora is added to Sean's garage. However, as part of a plot to assassinate both Eckhardt and Dierker at a race in Paris, Vittore begins modifying the Aurora into what eventually becomes known as the Phoenix. The Aurora's chassis is to be modified to disguise its appearance, and will also contain several explosives to be used in the assassination attempt. During this period the Aurora is no longer available in the garage.

Sean once again finds himself behind the driver's seat in a race against Dierker, who now drives the Silver Claw mk. II. He manages to overtake all the other drivers in the race, including Dierker, and upon crossing the finish line Sean sends the Phoenix on a collision course with the victory stands where Eckhardt and his entourage are seated. Bailing out, Sean watches as the Phoenix collides with the stand and explodes, killing the Colonel.

Upon completing the main storyline, the Aurora returns to Sean's garage as it was before being modified into the Phoenix.
