The engine is coupled to a 5-speed mechanical gearbox. Gears are shorter for better performances.

1982 Lacam Roizon

Because of the success of budget-minded sports cars like Datsun Z or Porsche 924, Lacam design the Lacam Roizon in order to propose a slightly upper class competitor to theses sports cars.

Focus on headlights

Car headlight technology is constantly advancing. Thanks to its suppliers, Lacam is able to offer its cars brand new headlights that change their front look.

The new Lacam Roizon therefore inaugurates a completely new visual identity. It brings Lacam's design into a new decade.

Due to local regulations, Lacam Roizon for US market has a different front with four-headlamp rectangular sealed beam system and side marker lights.

[nicholasrams774]

I like the subtle differences between the U.S. version and the international version.

A very accurate difference between how boring us Americans can be and how fun and exciting Europeans etc. can be.

[abg7]

Four-valve dual overhead-cam heads were somewhat rare in 1982, let alone when combined with multi-point electronic fuel injection, and as such the Ornon’s engine would have been one of the most advanced ones anyone could have bought at the time outside of a few rare and expensive exotic cars. The fact that it looks better after its facelift is icing on the cake.

1985 Lacam Furka

At the end of the 1970s, to expand its range, Lacam decided to study the production of a smaller, more economical sedan. This car requires a new platform and a brand new engine. The development was completed in 1985. It resulted in the presentation of the Lacam Furka.

This car is powered by an all new inline-4 engine proposed in a large range of power : 80hp to 190 hp. It is both available in 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

[Knugcab]

I can only say that I love this brand and I can’t realize why I haven’t discovered it before.

[abg7]

The Furka is one of your better-looking designs - naming it after a Swiss mountain pass certainly helps. And I get why many of the available engines are fitted with single-point EFI - multi-point EFI was more expensive, and therefore less common in 1985 than it would be just a decade later. However, a corrosion-resistant steel chassis seems like overkill (cost-wise) in any lower-end car made before 1994, when treated steel panels first become available - a galvanized steel chassis, with its lower cost, would have sufficed for such vehicles.

Edit: @Knugcab you were referring to corrosion-resistant steel panels. That item was removed in the most recent update due to being too similar to treated steel panels stat-wise. However, corrosion-resistant steel chassis are still present in the game.

[Knugcab]

Is CR even a thing anymore after the latest updates?

1986 Lacam Furka coupe 170 LMR

The Lacam Furka 170 LMR is the first car developed by Lacam Motor Racing department. It uses our first inline 4 DOHC 16 valves engine tuned for performance and driving pleasure.

LMR departement modified the running gears, brake system and the steering system for a better handling on small winding road we find in moutains. It modified vehicle's aerodynamics for better road behavior at high speed too.

1986 Lacam Furka convertible

What better than a convertible to take advantage of spring and the days that are getting longer?

To preserve the safety of the passengers, the engineers considerably reinforced the structure. This work allowed the designers to remove the roll bar initially envisaged.

Convertible versions use sames engines as coupe. To compensate for the higher weight, the axle ratio has been increased.
