Österreich NRZ V8 (2015)
After many hours of development, testing and refining, I’m finally ready to share the Österreich NRZ V8.
The idea behind this car was simple: build a race car that feels more like a modern Le Mans prototype than a conventional GT machine. Every design choice was focused on lap time, stability and driver confidence.
Powered by a 3.7L 60° twin-turbo V8, the NRZ produces 1,083 hp at 9,700 RPM while weighing only 1,153 kg thanks to its carbon fiber monocoque chassis and carbon body panels.
Specifications
-
3.7L Twin-Turbo V8
-
1,082.8 hp @ 9,700 RPM
-
7-speed sequential gearbox
-
Advanced AWD
-
Carbon fiber monocoque
-
Weight: 1,153 kg
-
Weight distribution: 48.3% Front / 51.7% Rear
Performance
-
0-100 km/h: 2.04 s
-
0-200 km/h: 5.70 s
-
100-0 km/h: 25.4 m
-
Top speed: 346 km/h
-
1/4 mile: 8.60 s
-
1 km: 15.97 s
-
Lateral G: 2.41 g
-
100 km/h cornering: 1.48 g
The chassis is slightly oversteer-oriented, making it very agile through medium and high-speed corners while remaining predictable at the limit. It rewards smooth driving and feels incredibly alive on technical circuits.
The design has been the best part, mainly because it started being this body, and little by little I´ve been cutting off with patches and adding 3D fixtures. If you were wondering, it´s the first time I do such a big modification to a body.
I’ve also tested it extensively in BeamNG.drive, where it proved to be just as fast as it is in Automation.
I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Subisha 330 (1953)
The Subisha 330 is one of the very first cars ever produced by Subisha, designed during Japan’s post-war recovery. Rather than focusing on speed or luxury, the goal was simple: create an affordable, lightweight and reliable vehicle that could help put the country back on wheels.
Inspired by the tiny city cars of the early 1950s, the 330 was engineered to be economical, easy to maintain and practical enough for everyday use.
Powered by a 365 cc flat-four, it produces 11.2 hp at 4,000 RPM. While its performance is modest, its incredibly low weight of only 355 kg gives it a charming driving character and excellent fuel efficiency.

Although incredibly small—just 2.22 meters long—the Subisha 330 was designed to maximize interior space while keeping production costs to a minimum. Every component was kept as simple as possible, making it an ideal vehicle for everyday transportation.
I love car design, so again, I love the design process. this time I started with the Isetta body, wich was the only body available with such a short wheelbase. The styling is Inspired by the Isetta´s friendly look but with a more japanese style, mixing it with the Subaru 360. I think it reflects the optimistic spirit of the 1950s, with rounded bodywork, chrome trim and a cheerful two-tone paint scheme. It may not be fast, but it has plenty of personality.
The Subisha 330 represents the humble beginnings of the brand and marks the first step in the history of Subisha’s evolution.

Those first two cars of yours are polar opposites, but both are genuinely believable throughout. Well done!

here are the cars. You will see there are two Subisha 330. that´s because the one called ``Export´´ is the one you can export to BeamNG. if you try the other one, your game will pause until you change it, because it´s too light. there´s no problem in the Österreich
Kundai Intro 344 Transport (1987)
The Kundai Intro 344 Transport was designed with one goal in mind: to provide an affordable, dependable and economical commercial vehicle for small businesses across Asia.
Compact enough to navigate narrow city streets yet practical enough to carry everyday cargo, the Intro 344 became a popular choice for local deliveries, workshops and family-owned businesses.
Powered by a tiny 344 cc inline-three, it produces 10.3 hp at 3,500 RPM. While performance was never its strongest point, its lightweight construction and excellent fuel economy made it incredibly inexpensive to operate.

Thanks to its compact size, it´s ideal for crowded streets and tight loading areas. The simple mechanical layout keeps maintenance costs low, while the enclosed cargo compartment offers practical space for everyday deliveries.
Its boxy design puts function ahead of style, but that simplicity became one of its greatest strengths. Built to work every day rather than impress, the Intro 344 earned a reputation as a reliable companion for countless small businesses.
The Kundai Intro 344 Transport reflects Kundai’s philosophy of producing honest, inexpensive utility vehicles that prioritize durability, efficiency and practicality over luxury or performance.
In this car, the hardest part to get right was the engine, because I wanted to make a very torky engine, but it was not efficient. I finally got it, and in beamNG it can carry more than 500kg across the Italy map without struggling too much

Here you have the car. the `export´ version is the one you can export to BeamNG without problem, but once there you´ll have to bring the wheels in so it´s a 3 wheeler again:

Sioux Dakota (1997)
The 1997 Sioux Dakota was designed to prove that not every American coupé needed a roaring V8. Instead, Sioux focused on creating a refined grand tourer that combined elegant styling, everyday comfort and effortless performance.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre V6, producing 199 horsepower, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. The Dakota delivers smooth acceleration and relaxed cruising rather than aggressive performance, making it an ideal companion for long journeys.
Its sleek, aerodynamic body features clean lines and subtle chrome accents, giving it a timeless appearance that stands out without being flashy. Inside, the spacious 2+2 cabin offers comfort and practicality, perfectly matching the car’s grand touring character.
With a top speed of 232 km/h (144 mph) and a 0–100 km/h time of 8.1 seconds, the Dakota offers more than enough performance for spirited driving while maintaining the refinement expected from a premium coupé.
The Sioux Dakota is a reminder that true grand tourers are not defined by brute force, but by the ability to cover long distances in comfort, style and confidence. It is a car built for drivers who appreciate balance over excess, proving that sometimes the most enjoyable journeys are the ones taken at your own pace.
here you have the machine:

hi everyone. I´ve made another car!
**Subisha k33 (2000)
**
The Subisha k33 represents Subisha’s modern take on the ultimate urban commuter, designed to navigate the crowded streets of 21st-century Japan. Arriving exactly at the turn of the millennium, the goal was to create a highly efficient, practical and cheerful vehicle that perfectly fits the strict legal dimensions of the modern Kei car class.
Inspired by the bubbly and optimistic “bento-box” designs of the early 2000s, the k33 was engineered to maximize cabin space while delivering exceptional fuel economy and effortless city maneuverability.
Powered by a 660 cc inline-three engine, it produces 47.9 hp at 6,900 RPM. While its performance is purely focused on urban driving, its lightweight nature of just 806 kg gives it an incredibly agile driving character and modern eco-friendly efficiency.

Despite its ultra-compact exterior, the Subisha k33 maximizes every millimeter of interior space, featuring a practical 3-door layout with a clever cabin configuration. Designed as an accessible daily commuter, it utilizes a reliable Multipoint EFI system and a modern MacPherson front suspension to ensure low maintenance costs and a comfortable ride.
The styling embraces the popular “Kawaii” aesthetic of the era while serving as a direct, modern tribute to the legendary Subisha 330 from 1953. The k33 reinterprets the heritage of the original post-war micro-car by bringing back its iconic friendly round eyes, the distinctive front fascia curve, and a playful evolution of the classic two-tone paint scheme where the accent color arches elegantly over the front wheel wells.
The Subisha k33 marks a significant milestone in the brand’s history, showcasing how Subisha evolved its micro-car expertise from its humble 1950s roots into the modern digital age while keeping its unique personality alive.
