[ENTRIES CLOSED] 2001 Family Midsize Sedan Challenge

[Echowaffle8]

(make a CSR except it isn't a CSR!)

The year is 2001. Crossovers weren’t really a thing yet and most families were buying sedans with which to carry themselves around or SUVs but we’re not going to be super concerned about that today. Therefore, your mission is to build a family sedan for 2001.

Design requirements:

• Maximum trim PU: 95
• Maximum trim ET: 35
• Minimum Fuel Economy: 20 MPG (US)
• “Regular” (86 AKI/91 RON) recommended, but 90 AKI/95 RON allowed as well
• Maximum engine PU: 45
• Maximum engine ET: 40
• Sequential gearboxes not allowed
• Target price: $20000 at 20%
• Minimum drivability: 55
• Minimum comfort: 20
• Minimum safety: 35

Entries will be judged on both Automation and BeamNG.

The current deadline is Friday, December 28 at 11:59 PM EST.

Submit cars by DMing the .car file to me on the forums or on Discord with 01FS-(Username) as your car’s name, and the trim level being the car’s actual name.

Good luck!

_{(also please tell me if there’s something wrong with the rules that I haven’t thought of)}

Are minivans allowed?

[Watermelon3878]

No matter how hard I try for original ideas, I know I’m going to loop around to an E46 clone.

thinking about plans for a W203/E46/B6 styled car

@Echowaffle8

Target price: $20000 at 20%

So, I should make a car higher or lower than this price?

@Echowaffle8

Maximum trim ET: 35

And I don’t think I can get maximum ET of trim can get to 35 for a midsize. Best I could do is 70.

I managed to make one but yeah, it’s probably not my kind of car that I like to make. Whatever, nice challenge.

@F12OM

not my kind of car that I like to make

I beg to differ. I’ll give it a go if and when I have time.

[GassTiresandOil]

By the car being judged by Automation as well, does that mean the cars will be judged in a specific category? Or just the stats?

[Echowaffle8]

Just the stats, there’s no specific category you should be targeting

[abg7]

Also, I’m sure the trim year must be set to 2001 - but must the model year also be 2001, or can it be older?

[Echowaffle8]

The model can be from earlier than 2001, that’s OK

[GassTiresandOil]

Last question for me… are wagons ok or does it have to be a straight-up sedan? It’s no problem either way… I have a pretty cool looking wagon I just built, but I could easily convert it to a sedan body.

do i go regular… or do i go overkill?

Here comes the '01 Stück Seife
It looks, feels and drives like a soap bar, but at least it has German quality.
