Dimension Motors - Back in Business!

2013 Dimension Hadron Gen 6 Sprint Cup Prototype

Our first entry in America’s favorite motorsport since the 70s, this time running a Hadron model as our stock car base. Keep away from right turns.


Engine


Code: GRR58
Configuration: OHV V8 Crossplane
Displacement: 5830 cc, 385 CI
Output: 725 Hp+
Torque: 700 NM
Fueling: Direct injection with individual throttle bodies

Yea, It’s plain looking but you really can’t do alot in NASCAR body wise.

2017 Dimension Paradox 70XY


A commemorative final model to celebrate 55 years of Paradox production and to signify its end, the SSP team set out to build the fastest car they can from the capable Paradox 6 chassis. Production ended, with Dimension citing ever increasing CAFE standards and EPA regulations that became more and more difficult to achieve with their OHV engine.

The 70XY took over from the KHT model as the track tuned flagship of America’s longest running sports car line with a completely new body kit and bumpers for maximum downforce and to reflect Dimension’s new styling language. Production switched to glued aluminum monocoques back in 2014, with only one year of Paradox 6s using a AHS steel body, but body panels remained fiber glass. Interior remains unchanged, but a rollcage is added for driver safety.

Suspension set up is the standard double wishbone and multilink combo, with coil springs, active dampers and semi active sway bars in a track setting. A downforce undertray complements the body kit and GT wing to provide 60 kg of downforce up front and 280 kg rear. Tires are 325mm front and 365mm R compounds by Toyo, similar to the one found on the Entropy hypercar. Brakes are 365mm 4 piston front and 310mm single piston steel vented discs, larger than the ones seen on the Boson supercar or its succesor.

The final evolution of Dimension’s long running flatplane OHV V8, producing the single highest specific output of any OHV V8 engine with 96 hp/l. A very lightweight motor allowed a weight distribution of 51:49 despite Automation physics, and also decent reliability despite the long stroke design and racing air intake. The engine also shows the peak of OHV efficiency, despite 12:5 compression and a very lean fuel mix, the car can only muster 14 mpg. It produces 660 hp at 7300 rpm and 720 nm of torque at 5600 rpm, with a close ratio 7 speed manual gearbox, the same unit found on the Entropy hypercar to best take advantage of the power band. It is sufficient to propel the car to 60 mph in just 4 seconds and a top speed of over 300 km/h.

A true apex predator, Dimension claims that short of Gryphon Gear Daeva, there is no FR car that could beat it on the track (until the Nine-50 came next year, but that thing is 2x the price.)

Limited to 5500 units with a MSRP of $95,000, you should bag these while you can. Nothing like it will ever come out again. Not in this world.

I’ll stop writing long ass explanations for my cars, I felt like I lost my touch in writing actually funny ones. If they were ever funny. Probably not. So I’ll just go with a simpler format.

@Deskyx Just wondering which track is the MRLS lap from? BTW really nice looking design and very closely matched with the MZR-3. @Starfish94 has a tough choice I hope Motortrend or someone does a Head 2 Head comparison review :smile:

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca

My personal test track of choice since my company is US based, and it’s a US track that everyone knows and thanks, I’m really trying to step up in my designs.

I for one won’t get the Saminda CZ-S , reason? it’s toooo dam slow , i mean it’s slower then a C3 1.5T

Nova and MZR-3 seriously will be in my bucket list , i hope someone make a review , currently my ride is a Saminda C3 and i plan to change my ride, please advise

@DeusExMackia i hope Erin make cars like this , i like Erin cars all along.

Hmm i just bought an Avellca stz auto for my head of staff however my engine guru has a birthday coming up so could i buy a Nova 250?

Of course. It can be all yours for monthly payment of $1000 per month for 32 months with no down payment and only 5% annual interest!

(Just buy it directly, it’s a ripoff)

Yeah… I have cash!? And beer/wine/high end fruit and veg juice

@Yamahafazer600 Interesting you should say that. I have something in the works that may be to your requirements.

@Deskyx Superb styling on the Nova T250. Real good combination of aggressive and subtleness.

##2018 Dimension Hypero V12

Sharing a platform with the Nine-50 hypercar but given a design more in tune with Dimension’s newer styling language, the Hypero has pretty much out European-ed the Europeans, with a low slung coupe body paired to a V12. This Paradox replacement will not disappoint.

##Dimension Motorworld Opens

Dimension has announced that a massive dealership, service center and museum managed directly by the company will be open for business in Detroit, integrated with their massive Sherwood Forest Dimension Plant. Dimension is committed to maintaining it’s factories in Detroit as an effort to keep the city supplied with jobs like it used to. The new Motorworld is estimated to bring another 10,000 jobs and billions of dollars in revenue annually. Building it was a bit of a pain however, we had to lobby aggressively to allow us to sell cars directly in state. Dimension plans to use it’s direct sales method in the future throughout the United States in response to poor public reception of their dealers and desire for more control in the supply chain.

##2016 Dimension Rift Gen V 1.8 FT


Targeted against Saminda and Maesima’s commuter offerings, the Rift returns in 2017 as the miserable little hatchback that you buy because you need space for the kids, your wife can’t drive stick, and your dad refuses to get into any car that isn’t American made. We’ve taken steps to make the car less miserable. Hopefully.

##2018 Dimension Rift Gen V SSP Turbo 4WD


Part of growing up means no more immature performance models for Dimension, and thus it was initially announced that the newest gen Rift will not get a performance variant. This has made alot of people angry and widely considered to be a bad idea.
