Jaku Motor Co. is proud to present the brand new Radnik WH250.
This is a utility vehicle where reliability and cost is the top priority, but don’t be fooled, it also includes top notch safety and entertainment features. With its comfortable interior and premium cassette player you’ll never be bored at work!
Under the bonnet you can find the bulletproof 2.5L DZ25-ECO engine which puts out a peak of 70 HP and 166 Nm of torque through all 4 wheels. The transmission is a 6-speed manual and the differential has a manual locker. The top speed is 150 km/h, and 0-100 km/h in this 1280kg vehicle can be done in 18.4 seconds.
The car runs on unleaded 95 RON and the average fuel consumption is 11.9L/100km. With all these qualities you might be thinking “I could never afford such a piece of amazing automotive technology.”, but worry not!
The Shethol Motor Company is not quite proud to present the '98 Rattlesnake VT, their newest entry into the budget sports car market. While Chief Designer Marcus Lottacoke was on an excursion deep in Mexico's deserts*, he had an unfortunate incident involving being bitten by a highly poisonous rattlesnake, with complications resulting in a 3 month coma. After awakening, he became possessed with the idea of drawing inspiration from nature...specifically, in the form of a rattlesnake. Unfortunately, due to the drastic nature of the coma, much of his eyesight was taken from him, which he was unfortunately intent on not preventing him from designing this car.
*Due to ongoing legal proceedings we can neither confirm nor deny Mr. Lottacoke's visit to Mexico was related to his current legal cases involving drug smuggling charges at this time.

here’s some extra info about the i4, because automation won’t let you change engine family stuff without affecting the entire lineup. i made this little album so i could make the engine variants as similar as possible without having to go back to the original engine a bunch
This odd french automobile is the result of a concept car escaping the design studio. It’s straight lines, sharp corners and odd geometric shapes clash with the sea of blobs that have conquered the roads in the 90’s.
On the inside it looks like you would expect from a budget premium car: it’s beige, black and silver and it has many weird quirks.
The engineering is somewhat sensible with a 1.4 SOHC 16v inline 4 barely producing over 70hp, coupled to a 5 speed manual putting the power down via the front wheels. But like I said the engineering is SOMEWHAT sensible as the car rides on hydropneumatic suspension based on the company’s 80’s design.
I really dislike your choice of examples. All of these cars are unique, Twingo and Korando are really good looking, Ypsilon is very far from bad looking car either. BTW Ypsilon, Twingo and Multipla are really well designed ergonomically and mechanically.
I’d say a more accurate name for this challenge should be “Questionably Designed Budget Car Challenge” so that we don’t get a bunch of cars that’re engineered to be unrealistically awful. I’m not naming any names here but getting sub-20mpg from a late-90s compact is absolutely ridiculous.
yes. my entry was basically “what can i do to make a decent car out of this really stupid design gimmick,” nothing about it is terrible but it’s questionable as hell
Some of the cars here are questionable, however I do consider my entry bad. It doesn’t look ugly, but it’ll make you believe Opel Corsa B is a luxury car. Taste is subjective. I absolutely hate some cars, whereas someone else loves the same cars.
