So yeah, got bored and decided to make this (not my model, I only made it mid engined). It’s not exactly period correct, because the body only comes into play in 1955, but meh, we’re not going for realism here. You could probably fit a 2.Something litre engine depending on what suspension you use and whether you use transverse or longitudinal etc.

Nice! 
pix?
I seem to be stuck with a 0 tameness, no matter what engine/transmission combo I put into the car :-S Maybe a mid engine car is too ‘new fangled’ for the people of 1955
I dunno, I just changed like 2 lines of code.
I shall upload pictures later.
If I bumped the year up to 1960 I am able to get a whopping 10 tameness
Ultra-short MR car with low-tech suspension and crappy tires does that for you.
Yeah even the vanilla cars of 1940 should only get a Max like 5 tameness or so.
Can someone upload a pic? I know you weren’t going for realism but we didn’t have mid engined production cars until 1965.
It’s an MR “hack” of the small sedan.
Exact same model, but with the engine in the back.
This ^
If you wanted to create a Beetle replica (although they have an RR layout and they’re 2 door 
) now you kinda can!
You can make a pretty quick ‘not-beetle’ type set up with this! When/if rear engine is ever an option we can worry about being 100% ‘authentic’. Until then, I am pretty content with this.
Haha, sorry if I misled you This is just a vanilla body. I’ll upload a photo so this doesn’t happen again in a minute, I had to reinstall photoshop again.
Edit: Photos now in the OP.
Nice work!
I’ve experimented with mid/rear engine chassis’ on front engined body designs as well in the past. But to my mind the chassis setup doesn’t work yet on a normal family car because of the setup wich cuases the engine to end up where the back seat would be. I hope the devellopers create a real Rear engine chassis in the future.
Full rear engine chassis’ will be implemented sooner or later.
Provided you’re not going to be too worried about where the engine will be (just messing around) the easiest way to make a mid/rear engine chassis is to copy the folder. Like the 90’s hatch is front small engine, copy it’s folder to rear/large and see what you can do
I don’t understand what you mean… Do you want me to make the 90s small hatch mid rear engined?
It’s not that simple, as the .lua files are slightly different, but converting a car from Front engine to mid-engine is fairly easy since the lua file is pretty much in plain text.
You need to add one line of code…
Value can be different.
