Stay tuned :smiley:

Yeap, thats a bump, but we are happy to introduce a new model from ACA-X, the new ACA-X R1 , 550HP of awesomeness for 120 000€

But, if you want more, we can propose you this ! The ACA-X R1K with a exclusive 675HP V8 and a mobile spoiler for only 200 000€ !

And we are happy to announce that we are entering to the new GT1 World Championship (fictional :stuck_out_tongue: ) with the R1 GT1, it will be produced at 20 copies for 1 500 000€ With more than 1000HP, it can reach 430 km/h, more than a high speed train !

Soon, we will show to you the racing livery of the R1 GT1 !

On a lot of your cars I can see to maximise cooling you’ve made one massive grille. I personally think you should use multiple grilles and vents but you should try incorporating them in ways that won’t ruin the look of the car. On a more positive note your cars make sense, their power and such. Well done so far.

Thank you for your post :slight_smile: Yes, i know my cars have massive grille, i maked this cars one year ago, i was a noob in Automation :laughing: Now i think i am better with grilles (for example with the R1(K) ) ^^
I prefer to stay realistic, so i’m happy to hear that my cars make sense (well, except for the R1 GT1, but because i loved the old GT1 category so i tried to restore it :stuck_out_tongue: )

And now, we are happy to introduce the race livery of the R1 GT1, which will races in the whole new GT1 Championship. Thanks to our partners : Breguet, Air France and Nintendo

We are happy to announce, here in the Mondial de l’Automobile of Paris the now Acthos-Conway IRIX-4 Concept ! With a 4WD powertrain, powered by a 4 Cylinders Turbeco of 250HP, it exposes the whole new design of the futures Acthos-Conway cars, you can see it and tell your opinion at the Acthos-Conway stand, in the Hall 1 !
