1996 Saloon Shootout - {RESULTS}

Presenting the 1996MY version of the 1992 Baltazar Basil Mk4, here in 2.5 Lux trim. With a modern aluminium DOHC V6 under the bonnet, this car can accelerate to 100 kph in less than 10 seconds, while keeping the whole family surrounded by leather, all for less than $20.000. Below, the 2.5 Lux and the complete Basil family.

Presenting the Pulsar Motuers D1600 V12. The affordable Family car aimed at the upper middleclass. With the ease of driving only offered by front wheel drive, and the smoothness only given from a V12, the D1600 is an all round comfort machine with your name on it.


The 1996 Solo Wolf PM I4, bringing modern styling to the modern family at a price that won’t break the bank!

okay… a v12 saloon. that can’t be cheap

It was very cheep till I added stuff. before I added quality sliders onto things It was 15,600 in the market.

You seem to be really enjoying the V12 release, Lordred. You’ve been using them in everything lately.

You could fit three of my engine in there :laughing: Probably overtake my car three times in the time it takes it to make one lap around the Automation test track, too.

Introducing the 1996 variant of the 1990 Luther Moderna. Featuring an extensive facelift and improved interior over previous models, the Luther Moderna is all you need for “Driving in the Modern age”.

I meant the V12 one. I have a sub-200 hp FWD I4, so it’s no performance car…

I find it humorous you are worried about a 1.6L SOHC V12.

that must love to rev like hell^

Seems like a lot of different engine ideas here, it should be interesting to see the results. That said I think I made a mistake aiming for real life comparisons in terms of fuel economy…

Also carlover if size is your concern you should be more worried about my 4.1L v6 than his 1.6L v12

4.2L V6 here. I think I’ve got pretty good fuel efficiency for such a big engine and an automatic.

real life car fuel consumption?

you made it too thirsty didn’t you?

im starting to feel smug about my car :smiley:
clue: im getting post 2000s level of fuel consumption

Let’s say I looked here fueleconomy.gov/feg/byclass/Midsize_Cars1996.shtml and made sure my economy was in the range of the combined scores.

Dont worry, I will be right there with you :wink:

Same. I built fairly realistically regarding fuel efficiency.

Mine would be considered quite fuel efficient for 1996, but nothing extreme, so I guess it fits in the realistic levels as well.

I just made one for fun, to try to see what I could do with a motor like that - 1.6L V12 made a great amount of power for it’s size, about 116 horse, about what I’d expect from a similar sized I4, maybe better even.
