First car for my son

Boyd Sprite Sport

  • Practical! - Four seats in a small and square package that is easy to park and travel through narrow streets. Hatchback and fold down rear seats grant respectable cargo space.
  • Comfortable! - Typical, quality Boyd standard interior, with six speaker infotainment system. Smooth straight six power plant.
  • Safe! - Advanced active and passive safety suite and all-wheel drive to keep you safe even in treacherous road conditions.
  • Economical! - 4.69 l/100km combined fuel consumption.
  • Easy to drive! - Large engine provides excellent low end torque for urban driving. Double wishbone suspension in all corners delivers highly composed handling.

The Sport trim builds on the strengths of the base Sprite, with:

  • Stylish 16 inch alloy wheels (wrapped in a lower profile premium touring tyre, which maintains comfort and good all weather performance)
  • Sports suspension (helps to achieve in excess of 0.95g lateral acceleration at regular road speeds with near neutral steering)
  • Sports exhaust (hear more of the smooth and premium rumble of the straight six)
  • Launch control
  • Unique paint options (Midnight Blue pictured)

As with all Boyd cars, the Sprite comes with a 10 year non-perforation warranty against rust.

RRP $16,510

The new 1.4-liter Gasoline Direct Injection ActivBoost engine, the formula comes together to deliver a vehicle that both looks and feels compelling while also remarkably efficient.

Devina’s acclaimed styling, crisp handling and spacious interior won’t break the bank either, as 2017 Devina ST pricing will start at just $17,030.

Ok, i know, this is spam, but as i mentioned 26 minutes ago, i have a new idea for a challenge:

But i’ve just found on some papers a few notes for another challenge i wrote some time ago (over an year) and i haven’t hosted it anymore. It’s settled on a rich princedom in 1967 and it will involve budget sport cars. (This one is another CSR style challenge, even if it was thinked before it).

Which one do you prefer?

  • 2015 Light Delivery (bulk purchase for a company)
  • 1967 Budget Sport Car (CSR style)

The engineers from VPower spend lots of time designing this car. And this is the result: VPower Hype EL


It is powered by 1059cc 4cyl. NA with VVLT tech with performance filter. The car weights under 1000kg. The brakes stop the car from 100-0 under 32,5m. Just like a Porsche. Even better! The interior is made from leather with lots of extras like the two LED 11 inch screens at the back. The car is more comfortable than Maserati and has better economy than the newest model Prius. What about the emissions and the loudness of the engine? VPower’s engineers made the car run under 25 dB at idle and it has lower emissions than VW UP. The manual transmission will make you feel like a boss on the road. Short stroke shifting ? Yes. 6 speed? Oui. And the tyres? They provide maximum traction even without LSD. And there is added diffuser for more stablility in the corners. And everything for 18 070 dollars :smile:

Derp, Had Something but Forgot to Submit, Here it is for People Wondering what it is:

I was torn between that body and the one I ended up submitting. glad to see someone used it.

So in stock form the C117 meets all Italian new driver mandates. But to save money on developing a different engine we chose to detune an existing engine choke it down with the exhaust.

With a full exhaust swap and a better timing map the C117 is actually a better car in most respects, though with 129hp on tap it is not exactly what most Italians would consider for a commuter car.

However lurking in YouTube videos all over the darker side of what can be done able to produce over 250hp, and quite a few who have been pushed too far with exploding over-boosted engines. The C117 could potentially become a fathers nightmare.

The front end reminds me of a Porsche. One problem:
For that amount of weight, you maximum HP would be 88.98507.
