CSR 36 - FUN IN THE ALPS
Hi, i’m Marco, finally i have finished my automotive engineering studies, with a specialization in Veichle dinamics, and few months ago i was employed in a important italian car company. Now it’s time to upgrade my car!
A little but important intruduction…
I live in a valley in the italian Alps, at north of Turin, this place is rich of automotive history and has a lot of awesome mountain roads.
My favourite one is the route of Moncenisio, a 22km long route, were in the 1903 started the first hillclimb race in the world! won by Vincenzo Lancia (the founder of Lancia) driving a 23hp FIAT.
It’s on road like this that i love drive, so keep in mind this route when you design your car!
For my next car, i’m looking for an affordable sport coupè.
I’m searching a coupè with 2 or 3 doors, it can be 2 or 4 seater, but it has to be light, fast, reliable, and nice looking, and most important, has to be fun to drive, with a sublime handling.
I love high revving, high specific output and straight power delivery engine, i love pure driving, nice sounding car are appreciated.
My budget it’s limited to $24000 with a 22% tax.
Here in Italy there’s an expensive Tax for cars over 185kw (248hp) and the Gasoline (we have standard 95ron) cost a lot.
Car has to be street legal, so cat and at least one muffler are required, comfort isn’t much important, but an Ariel Atom would be way too extreme.
-Important: performance, weight, reliability, handling, looks.
-Average: drivability, fuel consumption, running costs, safety, prestige.
-Less important: comfort, utility.
-Be sensible, so no V12 (my favourite engine it’s a V12, but please no), no carbon fiber parts, no vulgar design, i’m not a ricer.
-Do not min-max, I’m looking at overall car, not just final stats. Non-realistic decisions to maximise stats won’t do any good.
-Trim year: 2016 (model and engine family can be older)
-Only Steam workshop mods
-No negative sliders.
-2/3 door
-Coupè, hatchback or cabrio body
-Avg. Reliability >70
-Minimum economy: 11km/l or 25.9mpg or 9.1l/100km (95Ron)
-Power must be under 185kw or 248hp
-Price <$24000 at 22%. lower price = more money for performance parts!
-Model: CSR36-yourname / free trim
