My childhood basically consisted of just playing UG2 for hours on end, and watching F&F 1 and 2 on repeat on VHS, and this challenge was very much to my liking

Well done to Xepy for winning this round - he deserved it! Especially since he took the winning entry from CSR 125 and made it win yet another contest. By the way, is that Kuma AN FWD, RWD or AWD? I’m guessing it’s the former.

(Also it’s a FWD car)
I’ll have something up soon.

CSC 36 - Invest in the Future
2013, Somewhere in Modena, Tristella HQ
For half a century, Tristella has been building itself as a high-end, premium sports car marque. From luxurious grand tourers, to ferocious super cars, to race winning race cars, there has been a clear direction where the brand has been going. But recently, the numbers… they’ve been leading to a different direction. And it is clear, no matter how pure the brand would like to stay, eventually, you got to build something to bring in more of that sweet cash in.
Question really is however, what will be that future…
The big wigs over at Tristella’s headquarters put their heads together, and soon had hatched up some ideas. Some good, some bad, some requiring a lot of wine to wash down and some with a lot of yelling and rude gestures. But eventually, they cut it down to two routes to go down. However, both of which will require partnership with another company:
The short term moneymaker: a SUV. Shareholders will be happy with this choice, plus they could retune their upcoming engines for it.
The long term gamble: an electric car. Starting now could get them the jump on train early, even if it is rather niche right now.
So what will it be? The calls have been made, now to see what the future holds…
Guidelines
- Must be 4-door (We’re not asking you to make our sportscars for us)
- ^Must have 2 rows, if you want to get creative and make your own doors
- Model/Trim year set to 2019.
- State which direction you are going with the design (SUV/ Electric)
- The design should be a near production concept
- The model name of the vehicle should follow the Tristella model naming theme, that being birds
In general, Tristella has some specific design elements (especially for this era) you should include in your design”
- A-pillar delete/ blacked out A-pillar
- Triangle DRL elements
- The badging (front, front fenders and rear)
Badge
- Plus whatever you think will make it fit in part of this family:

Since i’m probably not going to participate due to my big dumb, I’m just going to drop this:
For the Electric, A good name could be Gufo (Or Gufetto), Which is Owl (and lil’ owl) In Italian, Referencing the fact that Owls can fly very Silently.
For SUVs, can we use 5 door instead?
Does it have to have 4 doors, or can we… draw on extra ones. if I were to make something like the Koenigsegg Gemera. ('d split it into two doors rather than one long one)
Can you clarify that it’s SUV or Electric? or SUV and Electric?
You can draw on extra doors as long as the body has 2 rows. I’m only judging design, not mechanicals. I’ll clarify that on the post.
To put it in a way I think that could be understood easily, I want either an Urus or a Mission-E/ Taycan. You can combine if you want, just state what you are making somewhere.

Design
the Tristella Brand is well known for its triangle Badeing and Lighting Elements and Pillar Deletion on all its cars, to make this car designed to belong to the Tristella brand, the Fascia itself was designed with using triangle as a base then we develop it from there with addition and substraction to make the base shape of the light and grille design, then, to make the front more complete we give some triangular accent on the fog lights and main head light design which is also derived from triangle shape base. then on the rear we gave it a more sporty design with triangular inspired taillights combined with the usage of car’s line to help to make and develop the taillights, also the LEDs on the front and the rear also use triangle as the base LEDs design, which from the front you can see it from the DRLs and at the rear it can be seen from the turning signal lights which very much still has tinge of triangle in it and at the brake lights which was originally based from triangle then we rework the shape to become F shaped to give the rear lights a better flow between left and right, as for the pillar delete, we did it as natural as possible on the A-Pillar, to give it a sense of belonging to the Tristella Brand
the car is named after a buzzard bird, since its reminding me of buzzard attack heli from GTA:Online, not that wow strikingly good looking but get the job done just fine

2019 - Tristella Grande Gufo Concept - By Alba Engineering LTD.
A car for the future.
An owl, Silently flying by.
Nobody hears it coming. Nobody hears it Go.
Only you know where it may be heading.
(Car presented on Racing Green)
NOTE: There’s an exhaust tip that slipped past me, I used it so the exhaust wouldn’t peek by the Diffuser, but i forgot to remove it. Please ignore it.
Can we make electric SUVs?
Also, are Electric sedans a sound choice?
Yes and Yes
Unless by sound you mean volume, then no, electric sedans aren’t loud usually.

This means an i3/ID3/Model 3, would be way off the mark?
Lamborghini i3… No, that doesn’t exactly sound right, lol

Yeah that’s way below the price range for the brand. A bit late but just so everyone knows the cheapest model in Tristella’s lineup at this time is about 80-90k in Automation bucks.
I’ll keep my pleb hatchback out of it then 
Got a sedan more or less finished, but it’s also a bit…small, technically. I’ll see about submitting tomorrow.
