Caraffi Galmon

Overview
The Caraffi Galmon is a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car produced by luxury vehicle manufacturer Caraffi from 167NT to 176NT. The vehicle was designed by Damon Caraffi and was powered by the same turbocharged V10 which powered all high-performance Caraffi sports cars of the 160s and 170s, the 4.8L C1E0.

History
The Galmon was among the earliest of Damon Caraffi's automotive designs, with sketches bearing the name dating back to 151NT. Following the founding of Caraffi, several prototypes of the Galmon were produced between 164-166NT, before the vehicle finally reached production and was unveiled to the public towards the end of 167NT. The Galmon was notable for its sleek approach to wedge design and its distinctively wide flared fenders. Caraffi intended for the Galmon to bridge the gap between its luxury sedans and its race-oriented vehicles by providing a sporty ride in an accessible package.

Reception
The Caraffi Galmon was well-received by automotive critics and motorists alike, who praised its luxurious interior, its responsive, dependable handling, and its considerable power output. Often criticized were the Galmon's notable brake fade and crowded engine bay, the latter of which led to increased service costs and made servicing the vehicle difficult and time-consuming.
