Scarab Eruption GT

With a smooth tuborcharged 3.6l V8, producing in excess of 400 bhp you will never be in need of more power.
This power is put to the road through a 5 spd automatic gearbox with viscous differential and a top of the line AWD system to get as much grip as possible.
It doesn’t stop there though. The car has been throughtly checked and meticulously measured to get the least amount of drag possible and at the same time glue it to the road.
Couple this with ExGrip sportstires and the car will go exactly where you want it to.

The interior has been tailored to fit even the most craving customers, with leather seats, a brushed aluminium dashboard and a top of the line entertainmentsystem.
This, couple with the latest in safetytech, will secure a both comfortable and safe ride.

And as if this was not enough, you now have the luxury of choosing the stiffness and sportiness of the ride with the touch of a button thanks to the automated airsuspension and adaptive dampers.

Our own testdrive of the Green Hell gave us a time of sub 8:30, just to be sure we didn’t exaggerate our claims.

All of this can be yours for just $48800

Some brand explanation below

[spoiler]Sincker is just a company that makes airplane engines and such, but it also has it’s own division for cars, and this division can make nearly everything - the key is, that for such a small company to have such availability is fact that every car is done on personal order, there aren’t monthly production norms, etc, etc - the car is just made when there’s a customer for it. Anyway, made this brand purely for CSR designs, so well. No specific lore. Just pure designs.[/spoiler]

Many of the ads for this round are quite tempting. Yours is no exception - from some angles, the Eruption GT looks like a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 (but with a longitudinally-mounted V8 under its hood), and I find it hard to disagree!

Also, I have noticed that a lot of entries this round use the F-body shape, mine included, but there is just so much variety among the engines alone (I6s, V6s, V8s, V12s) that deciding on a winner will be a real challenge!

I had trouble using v12 as I couldn’t get an all rounded one in the production and engineering limits provided so I went for a nice v8

Nothing about body panels/chassis being made on CF, only the interior.

Personally we, at FOA, think that CF interiors are pretentious which is why all of our luxury vehicles use only the best unicorn hides and pixie dust for our interiors.

Thank you, i wasn’t sure i got it that close to the VR-4, but it was the car i thought of… I changed out the V6 for V8 power, kept the tech and and added luxury… Who could possibly say no to such a car :wink:

even on the interior, the only car that comes to mind from that era was the F40. a Car 5x the price

So it seems that you are not the only one out there submitting a mid-engined car. But I like the way it looks, even in dark gray - a subdued color for a sporty mid-engined car. And 20 years ago, very few cars, most of them actual supercars, had carbon-fibre interior trim.

As for my entry, creating a variant of the Crusader II wasn’t just lore-friendly; it was easier than creating a new model from the ground up. And even though I could theoretically afford to use active suspension and semi-active dampers (a more comfortable but less reliable combination overall), I retained the steel springs, adaptive dampers and passive sway bars of lesser Crusaders and spent the rest of my budget on a better interior instead, similar in quality and materials to that which is found in their flagship sedan, the Viceroy. And to compensate for the reduced reliability after adding the interior upgrades, I added a few quality points where it mattered on the engine variant I made specifically for this round. Finally, the bright red, blue and yellow exterior colors of the other trims was replaced by a less strident and more elegant dark metallic green, which complements the more understated exterior design quite nicely indeed, especially with the new 17-inch wheels - I chose those to strike a balance between comfort and prestige. I never wanted to make something that screams “boy racer”, after all.

Lmao, the dash is finished in CF, that’s it, basically just for marketing…

This is the car as technologically-advanced as you are. A true 21st century machine come early, it has advanced CompuTerrific pushrod suspension, 400 all-wheel horsepower, GearLicious transmission, active wing (not a shaver), not to mention VITAL electronic valve control and probably more fake acronyms like that.


So much hardware, but still comfort and refinement for the driver. It’s perfect for spirited driving on a highway, or enjoying the sights around the Big Nameless Body Of Water in Gasmea. The only thing it has less of is price. All this must run 50 grand? Just 47200 mediums of financial exchange, and you can have one today of 1995. Now hurry up and make pornography work faster.
