Blanton Motors (1976 Panama)

Bobcat somehow reminds me of GTA San Andrea

This car took no inspiration from the pickup truck from grand theft auto.

1972 Tiger:

Blanton Motors update to the American land yacht, this time called the Tiger. Built for comfort, the Tiger floated down America’s highways, but wasn’t the greatest hit due to the oil crises of the 70’s. However, it wasn’t the worst, either, it became popular with higher middle class families, as well as executives who wanted something with presence. The Tiger came in 3 variants; the base sedan, the wagon, and the GTA trim level. The Tiger came with the largest variant of Blanton Motors Small Block; the 397.
Sedan:


I have no clue why it says V6, when it’s a V8
Wagon:

GTA:
again with saying V6?

As part of BRT’s revival, Blanton Motors began construction of their own race track in 2006, and in record breaking time finished in just over a year. Called Boise International Raceway, it currently is host to Blanton Motors testing, SCCA club races, IMSA sectioned GT3, Trans Am racing, and manufacture cup races.
Boise International Raceway was completed one week after the 2008 24hrs of Lemans, when the Leviathan GT3 took its first class win. As a celebration, The winning #77 Flowmaster Exhaust BRT Leviathan GT3 took the first laps of the track, followed an original 1947 B6300.

#1974 BRT BGT-9000:

Debuting in the 1974 24hrs of Le Mans, The BRT BGT-9000 was one of the more successful race cars before BRT’s axing in 1994. The first iteration of the car ran in the 3.0 liter prototype class, meaning in spouted a 3.0l V8 making 352hp. The first year, only one BGT was entered and finished 3rd in class, 2 seconds behind 2nd place, a Porsche 908/4. This would set off the spark BRT needed to get off the ground, and began 17 years of racing glory (before the losing streak).

#SlingShot:
Looking to the future, Blanton Motors created a 2 concept cars to showcase a new platform. The Platform, named SlingShot, is one of the most versatile chassis; Being able to support many engines, from a 1L Turbo 4 cylinder, to a 3.3L V12. Blanton motors plans to release this platform in 2020. Options include, vented or carbon ceramic brakes, 2 different sizes of touch screen infotainment systems, Standard, Premium, or Sport interiors, and multiple choices of tires. Mentioning the 2 concepts, dubbed the Eco and the Street Breed, The Eco receives the 1L Turbo VVL 4 cylinder that gets 43mpg, while the Street Breed has the 3.3L V12 with 1314hp and has a top speed of 308mph. For those wondering, yes, this is loosely based off a Hot Wheels car of the same name.

The aim was to match a fictional vehicle top speed wise, so I had to get as much power out of the motor as possible. and that motor had alot to give.

The quality slider on the box and the aero must be way over +10, judging by your chassis total cost.

I actually did not notice that.
Okay, Blanton, no one is paying 135k for a hatchback which had the clay model chopped with a katana in design

Well you can’t buy a concept car can you? But on the other hand I’m sure there are those who want a 300mph car wether it’s a sliced hatch or a flattened beetle

It would be like driving a ten million dollar car: More likely you’ll be sitting in the car in the garage too terrified to actually drive it anywhere.
