Yeah. Trim fixture quality actually WAS a thing but got removed years ago.
I remember it being present in the Kee era, but now it’s gone - my hunch is that it was merged with the body quality slider in the trim tab during (or after) the UE4 transition.
I cannot believe i’m alive. I was so sure i’ll banned because of lack of police tools stuff on it.
Trim Fixtures Techpool doesn’t exist in game, it only exists in the exporter (same for Trim Fixture Quality). If you count the trim techpool-related columns in the export, you end up with 11 whereas there are only ten trim-related techpool options in the in-game dialogue…
Damn, womp womp
Just kidding, I checked and yes you’re right - really really sorry about that! First time using the exporter lol and uhhhhh yeah never again tbh (cuz some of the stats doesnt export anyway so we still needed to check like one or two numbers for each car so its kinda moot, and I couldn’t find documentation on how to modify the exporter properly for this so)
I re-calculated the sheet again, and there’s a lot of changes! Anwyay, I need to go back and refine the reviews again for the cars so please give me a bit of time to do that first before posting the final round.
Oop dangers of using the same base car for different challenges, those techpool values were leftover from CSR and forgot to update
Damn my bad simple mistakes can do that i suppose
Results – Part One!
18th – @PhirmEggPlant – VMC - GreyWolf
The last placed entrant, which seems slightly confusing when you see that its a massive brute of an SUV, the typical thing you see speeding towards you planning to ram the hell out of you. In typical video game fashion its blindingly fast despite how massive it, 372km/h fast to be exact, on the higher end for all the entries. It also comes with a 3.1s 0-100 sprint which is insane when you consider the sheer weight of this thing, weighing in at 3296kg its the heaviest & has the largest footprint by far. However the speed & size of it gets dragged down a lot with one of the lowest drivability scores & the lowest sportiness which its fair, its has the worst cornering Gs out of all with with most body roll too, and also quite surprisingly it has very low comfort for having air suspension, buutttt the sequential transmission probably doesnt help with that one. Overall most of the sats are sub-par, besides the speed, the visuals also dont really help it out by much - it is one of the low scorers in that category unfortunately, its just a bit plain and a lot more work wouldve had to be done to make it stand out among the other entries.
Ivan: “A typical basic american police SUV, nothing really too out of place besides the chrome rear bumper and the double push bar up front. Maybe couldve done with a livery of sorts.”
Oreo: “This is a huge fullsize American SUV… that lacks a lot of detail in its design. Proportions are fine, and I guess it does fit a bare, stripped-down old-school tough SUV look but it really really lacks detail - and not because it’s missing a livery.”
17th – @ArizonaCaseo – Montiago 2400 GT-P Supersonica '20 RL Interceptor Package
A full on LMP racecar as a police interceptor, what could possibly go wrong? surely its fast, agile and can withstand driving hard for 24h straight… well it does one of those at least. Despite being a LMP car the sportiness, drivaility & reliability is among the lowest in each class which is quite scary to think about - the drivability is the worst by far though (42), reaching over 10 points less than the next competitor at 54. Comfort, as one might expect is low, almost non existend even, its 1, yes, not the best for if you need to be in a high speed chase for longer than a minute. It is at least one of the fastest entries though, almost reaching 400kph, unfortunately handling is also quite middle of the pack so not much to say about that, same with the looks, its nice, but also its a very basic looking LMP with a livery that might look a bit odd in some cases. Overall speed was its only friend, that doesnt bring it far up on the list unfortunately.
Ivan: “A pretty basic 90s LMP style build, nothing really special to mention - livery isnt too bad but could maybe have used less “cartoony” fonts”
Oreo: “To be honest it’s not a bad shape, it’s like a re-purposed LMP car. However, what brings it down to me is that the sides look relatively flat (body-wise). The graphics brings it down a bit, it seems a bit exaggerated. Otherwise, it’s a pretty basic ‘okay’ design.”
16th – @oldmanbuick – Flint Sentinel Interceptor
Now this is almost what we are used to seeing around every corner on your typical videogame, a very basic police cruiser, made to blend it almost - complete with the on brand, no thrills sportiness of 39, the second lowest score we have. But it is very drivable just like most basic sedans out there, almost having the best score there to be more accurate, but unlike many other sedans its not very comfortable, around average in that category. Reliability is a strong point though, being the most reliable car out of the whole bunch with a score of 94, baller. When it comes to speed it starts to fall apart a bit though, being the slowest car out of the bunch even though its capable of hitting 200mph, this coupled with the rather poor handling makes it not ideal for high spees chases, which is unfortunately what we are looking for. On the looks side of things, its not bad per say, but its for sure just a average daily runabout, not ugly by any means, but not really special either.
Ivan: “A simple & no thrills sedan, usually the fastes ones in any game lol. but decent and simple overall, main complaint being that the wheels seem too small”
Oreo: “This has a really tall greenhouse, lol. It looks like a basic commuter sedan that has been modified for police interceptor duty. The addition of the bumper bar at the front is a nice touch, as are the rear tail lights matching the side paint strip. But yeah, it’s really really simple and compared to the rest of the group (especially the racers’ cars) it doesn’t LOOK like it can hold its own.”
15th – @xsneakyxsimx – Ascot Renegade 460S Pursuit Special
Now this is what a lot of people would want as a pursuit vehicle, a typical blacked out muscle car, with its inherent tough looks and front push bar it certainly sells the chase vehicle aura, the weight does too, coming in at 1768kg its very much at the top end of the scale out of the entries. All that weight does not help it much around the corners, benig slightly below aberage in that category, but also having the 2nd highest body roll only beaten by a 3.3 ton SUV. Unfortunately straight line speed isnt its friend either, while again, not being slow by any means, just not fast among the other entrants - the 0-100 for example being the slowest out of everyone, the only one to not be below 4s in that category. Besides the lack of speed its actually pretty sporty and is quite drivable too, starts to fall apart a bti when it comes to comfort though, however reliability is very much on the higher end. Overall not a bad build, but the speed & handling hurts it a lot which causes it to drop down the list quite a bit.
Ivan: “A muscualr brute fits very nicely into the brief, looks tough and very coherent overalll.”
Oreo: “Okay like another car here, this is perhaps also inspired by a real life car, but I would say the execution is not as great. First impressions to me is also it is a car from the 2000s - nothing wrong with that, but compared to newer more complicated designs it can lose out a bit on wow factor. Overall, a solid and basic entry.”
14th – @Speeeed_D3m0n – VIPER High-Speed Interceptor
Now, looking at this car you can tell its main purpose is to go fast, and that it does, very well infact - its the fastest overall in every category of speed which is no small accomplishment and can certainly take home bragging rights there, it can dispatch 0-100 in 2.33s and keep going up to 411kph, certainly fast enough we would say. Sadly, however thats where the good news stops - sportiness is very much below average in that sense, drivability is also one of the lowest ones, which is not the best thing, especially when you are going over 400kph of course. Reliability is yet again one of the lowest scores out of them all, almost as if this thing was made to go really quick over short distances. Handling is quite average with the only thing worth mentioning being the body roll, which is near the top end for the least amount of roll. Its a decent looker too, very very aggressive & would certainly scare the guys on the highway away, livery is also nicely done and does help it along too, final thoughts being, speed carried this build a lot lmao.
Ivan: “A very aggressive design, massive wing & diffuser with a very low roof makes this look super fast - very decent livery too, but the front end looks a bit lackluster and overdone.”
Oreo: “I really like the proportions on this thing, and the angular design works extremely well and looks fantastic - both front and rear… The duotone paint and tasteful graphics also seals the deal. Although there are no external reinforced elements at the front, it looks tough enough for a sportscar and most importantly, looks really fast with that aero.”
13th – @Sureascanbe – Arnage Talon RR Special Deployment Interceptor
An absolute beauty of a machine, one of the best looking entries for sure, scoring the highest in that category in fact - with some really nice livery work as well, truly sexy. All that really makes it hurt to have this car only ranked at number 13 on the list, however we cannot look past the stats, sportiness is slightly above average but nothing really special, same with the drivability and reliability too, but the real kicker here is the comfort, a whopping 0, which is crazy to imagine seeing as it runs on air suspension and is also the lightest car out of the whole bunch, not quite sure if theres a glitch causing this, but moving on. This is also only one of two entries running all-terrain tires, which surprisingly (not) does not help at all when it comes to handlin stats, causing it to lose out on the agility there. Speed is also slightly below average among the other entrants, but only in terms of top speed, acceleration is pretty decent. Overall its a very good and capable looking entry, game cover potential even, but its just plagued by some engineering choices like the tires, which i believe was done with aesthetics in mind, which we can get behind lol.
Ivan: “A super unique and well done build, absolutely no complaints on the styling & a very very well done livery too.”
Oreo: “The detail on this one should be what others look towards. I love the little front skidplate detail, the wide offroad-y fenders, and the livery work here is impressive - truly. There’s not much else to say. Fantastic design for an offroad capable supercar designed to catch pesky racers.”
12th – @bang6111 – Revuelto Castanya XS Undercover
This little coupe is a decent performer, reliable, very drivable and surprisingly the most comfortable car among the group - also, by litlle i do mean little, its the smallest car out of the bunch. Where it starts to go a little south is the speed & accelaration , while not being slow by any means, its just out-classed in every aspect by the other competitors, its not the slowest but its definitely in the bottom 5% with its top speed of 329kph & 0-100 of 3.8s which makes chasing videogame level speeds a bit hard. Handling is above average and does help it a little with being one of the lighter entries we have. Design is also quite average, it doesnt start out bad, but the rear is not very coherent and seems quite far from the overall design, definitely not bad tho, but there are other entires that go above & beyond which leaves the Castanya a bit behind. Overall not a bad entry, but the speed, ironically, is what kills this one.
Ivan: “A neat little sportscar with a cure face ,but the rear end is where it falls apart a bit, especially with the rear lights - but decent overall.”
Oreo: “Proportions-wise it’s fine - a small spirited sports car, and it does look cute with the rounded lights and bubbly shape. But… doesn’t look exactly menacing or powerful to stop these reckless and ruthless racers. Detail-wise it’s minimal but still okay.”
11th – @Ch_Flash – Fanella Fuego III
Onto this mean & retro looking supercar, a pretty decent performer overall, sportiness is on the higher end among the entries which one would hope from a good ol wedge shape supercar, drivability is really good, also among the higher ones, however reliability is slighty sub-par, not bad, but just not among the top entries. Comfort is very good too, again, almost on par with the top entrants. Speed is on the lower end too unfortunately, although not slow by any means, 347kph will definitely get you places, but its very much below average in this pack. Handling is a bit iffy as well, despite having pushrod front & rear its below avergae here too, even having one of the highest amount of body roll too- probably not helped by its 1650kg bodyweight. However its biggest setback is the rather tame design, very outdated for a 2020 car too - which couldve helped it go well into the top 10 if it just a had a tad more wotk put into it, its a very basic 90s supercar and not much else, a more fitting rear wing couldve helped too.
Ivan: “Good looking & mean, however does seem a bit visually heavy and maybe wheels that are slightly too large.”
Oreo: “Okay, I really like the basic stealth look with the subtle police branding (the side - not that rear). The overall look screams ‘clean’ but… yeah that’s it. The front headlights are small, intended to mainly use the popups I assume but still a weird shape. It looks a bit 2000s ish but also has some modern stuff… so I’d say a bit confused but otherwise it’s a solid entry.”
10th – @KSIolajidebt – Hoffsman Pulsar Speed X RST
The Hoffsman is a handsome brute and certainly looks the part, mean and seemingly poisonous, it should strike fear into the street racers. Despite its looks sportiness is on the lower end of the entries, but it does make up for that quite it bit by being the most drivable car out of the entire list with a 89 rating, epic. Comfort is great too with it being among the top of the list as well. Reliability is avergae though, but not bad at all. Speed is not not necessarily what the Pulsar is good at (with only being able to go 371kph) but rather accelaration takes the cake, in all the test regarding accelaration the Pulsar nearly tops out the leaderboard on them all, epic X2. However handling is where it starts to go a tad south (very un-German like), agility & cornering is quite average and nothing really special to mention besides the fact that its among the top entries regarding having the most body roll, which is probably due to it being 1735kg, quite a heavy barge this one. Overall its a good entry, good looks and striking livery, but with stats that are a bit all over the place it just scrapes by 10th place.
Ivan: “Another solid build, very sleek & powerful looking - great livery too”
Oreo: “Wow. First off - I LOVE the proportions here, and especially the alignment of the design lines at the front of the hood. The blue and red headlight does look great, but you know takes the cake? THAT REAR. Absolute masterclass in emulating “depth” in automation. Livery and paint scheme are great and tastefully done, and the blue/red side strakes are a nice touch.”
9th – @Riley – ZRD Corsa
The ZRD Corsa is an absolutely sexy supercar that looks both powerful and agile - combined with its complete lowkey stealth look, you’ll never see this coming, and if you do, be very scared. Perhaps not surprisingly, this takes 2nd-place position in the overall design score. Despite its looks however, it only scores 10th… in both agility and speed (and 13th in toughness). In actuality, top speed is above average at 381kmh, which is really good considering this ‘only’ has a 617hp naturally-aspirated V12, but gets beat out overall due to below average drivability and comfort and just simply being outclassed by the other entries. In terms of agility, it has really good cornering ability and is the 2nd lightest of all the entries, at only 1262kg and is quite small too, but fails to control it’s body roll and only has mediocre downforce levels. Safety and reliability is average, and due to its small stature and really light weight, suffers on the toughness score as well. It’s a really good entry that is slightly carried by its stellar design - unfortunately the engineering of this, although good and above average already, is slightly outclassed by its rivals.
Ivan: “A very aggressive & good looking supercar - love the retro looking lines across the back end but the massive diffuser & wing seems a bit out of place.”
Oreo: “This looks absolutely fantastic. Perfectly short but powerful proportions with that massive rear haunch and large wheels. I really love the stealth look on this car, and that entire rear is so sexy. Not sure what else to nitpick about tbh, it’s a really, really damn good design.”
8th – @the-chowi – Crowley Bruiser GT8
The Crowley Bruiser GT8 looks really powerful and tough with its dramatic molding over the front bonnet and tall front face. The Aston Martin badging is a bit too on the nose though, but otherwise it looks like a great undercover cop car, complete with nice attention to detail. Ironically though, this is the most fuel-efficient car on the list at 9.4 L/100km lol, while using a 4.5L turbocharged V8 making 677hp. Although fuel efficiency is always good, a more performance-oriented setup would work better here. Otherwise, adept tuning gives it outstanding drivability and reliability, but unfortunately does not specialize enough to take top spots in any of the three categories. Speed-wise, it has a great top speed of 389km/h but abysmal acceleration, at ‘only’ 3.89s and a 1/4mi of 11.05s. Agility-wise, it corners quite well but suffers from the lack of downforce and a below average 200m cornering. Safety is also abysmal - the second worst in fact. and combined with the ‘light’ weight of 1397kg it suffers in the toughness category too. Not much else to say other than perhaps a more focused approach towards either of the three categories could have helped this car place higher on the list. Otherwise, it’s a good car with a good design.
Ivan: “A really impressive build, good looking and menacing in the undercover clothing. No complaints”
Oreo: “I can tell this is inspired by a real life car, but other than that, it’s extremely well executed. Wow. The subtle body surfacing and molding is really nice work, and I like how the tail lights are cohesive with the front. Otherwise, really solid car, looks properly powerful and tough too.”
(discourse won’t let me post the entire thing as one post since I exceeded the character count so…)
Results – Part Two!
7th – @AndiD – AMM Paragon 4.6
The AMM Paragon 4.6’s first impressions are that its pretty short and stubby - tiny car with small wheels and even smaller side mirrors lol. Design impressions is that it doesn’t really look bad per se - and maybe not even average in this field of competitors either unfortunately. This car was purely and entirely carried by its engineering, with by far the best drivability rating, and really good reliability. Sportiness and comfort also surprisingly doesn’t suffer either, so it’s really well tuned. Which leads us to… agility, where this car takes 1st place! Nice. It has the highest 20m cornering by far at 1.25G’s, while still offering good 200m cornering too. The Paragon also is by far the most compact car in the list, and with its much below average weight of 1291kg, it easily takes the top spot in the agility category, although body control is quite bad (but still overshadowed by the plus points). Speed-wise, this car only scored 9th, and even though it has a quite large (for its size) 4.5L naturally-aspirated V8 making a healthy 534hp, it still can’t match the others in the field, with the worst stop speed of the bunch at 325km/hr and only average acceleration values of 2.83s. It’s quarter mile is also just okay, at 10.31s. Toughness is also something this small car can’t keep up with, only placing 11th, possibly because of the worst safety score of the field, at 56.19. Reliability is good, but again - vastly overshadowed by its light weight, tiny size, bad environmental resistance, and a not-really tough looking exterior. All in all, this car is quite weirdly designed - at first glance its small, and it is somewhat, with a wheelbase of 2.54m, but those tiny wheels and tiny mirrors and small headlights just doesn’t really scream menacing as a police interceptor lol.
Ivan: “A very interesting entry, very stubby and out of proportion & super small wheels make the otherwise decent fascias seem very off.”
Oreo: “Hmm right up, I don’t really like the short proportions - it looks like it’s squeezed length-wise lol. Also, the wheels seem not that performant compared with the visual body mass above it - it seems a bit small. Also, the side mirrors are a bit out of place on a what-looks-to-be modern car.”
6th – @Ananas – Oran Snilk STR
The Oran Snilk GTR at first glance doesn’t look really special - it’s a long bonnet GT with a somewhat stealth look that is still flashy with the large police and star decal on the sides, lol - you will not be wondering if this was the police or not. The tiny front bumper bar is also quite comical looking but ironically the other engineering aspects of this car made it the ‘toughest’ car in the list - making this our first category winner! How did it get here? Well, an astronomically high safety score of 102, and equally impressive reliability too. It is a large and heavy car too, helping the stats. Combined with the nicely focused tuning on sportiness and keeping drivability on acceptable levels, it easily snatched the top spot. Otherwise, it didn’t do that bad either on speed or agility; it has great acceleration, 1/4mi times and competent braking, but really loses out on top speed, at only 347km/h. This is coming from a gigantic 8.2L naturally-aspirated V10 too btw, making an okay 757hp, so it’s quite funny that it’s still not as fast as the others on the list. Perhaps the 6-spd dual clutch was too focused on acceleration too, as it should be able to achieve a higher top speed… actually, nevermind lol, only 347km/h which is wel below average. This car has the most downforce of the field, at 530kg, helping achieve an impressive 1.41Gs at 200m. But this still can’t mask the lack of agility in sharp turns, at ‘only’ 1G in 20m cornering, as the car is quite heavy and big. I didn’t get to the design score yet, and it’s because it’s not that great. I like the classic proportions and there’s nothing gravely wrong with it, but again - just another case of being outclassed by some of the other entrants.
Ivan: “A decent looking build from the fascia’s, but with a very out of place side vent and humongous hood it brings it down a bit - and the livery couldve done with some less stars”
Oreo: “First - that’s a lot of stars. Love the stealth matte grey paint scheme, and love the classic proportions. Details are alright, but the front grille seems a bit narrow and the bumper bar is quite tiny. Otherwise, it’s a solid design.”
Top 5 Finalists!
5th – @LennoxV10 – Geroug Chaser
Firstly, this car was the only car in the top 5 who was carried (heavily) by its engineering. It’s design is the only thing holding it back, unfortunately, and I had hoped (mayhaps) that in the future you could collab with a designer instead. Design-wise, it’s going for a stealth look, but since design was a huge priority for this challenge (we want players to feel great at grinding for a car and unlocking it, and using it) we can’t really give any higher score to this design since we both feel it’s a little too clean and lacks detail to it. Anyway - let’s get to where this car shines - it’s engineering!!! Firstly, it’s impressively well-rounded in all three categories, placing 2nd in agility, speed and toughness. Wow - truly impressive. Really nice work and incredible tuning. Stats-wise, it scores about average in sportiness and drivability, and the standouts are that it’s quite comfortable, reliable, and fuel-efficient (9.6L/100km) (surprising, considering it’s a 6.9L naturally-aspirated V8 making 750hp lol. Agility-wise, this car may be beat by our 1st place winner (AMM Paragon), but it still is incredibly agile - pulling an incredible 1.19G and 1.95Gs in the 20m and 200m cornering tests, while having above average downforce to keep the car planted. Body roll control is the only bad stat here, but this is easily overshadowed, and thus this car takes second place in agility and cornering. Toughness-wise, this car is the 3rd reliable of the bunch, with above average safety and environmental resistance. Everyone didn’t do very well in toughness except those who laser-focused on it, so this car easily took 2nd spot. But! It also did well in speed, which a lot of people focused on too, and it’s clear to see why - it’s literally well above average in top speed, 80-120kmh, 1/4mi, 1km and braking distance. The only sad stat is acceleration, at 2.84s (below average) but it’s still not that bad. Overall, my thoughts is that, with a better design, this car could easily take top spot or maybe 2nd overall - really nice work tuning this!
Ivan: “A clean little sportscar, but maybe too clean in certain aspects, like the sides - however the rear end looks nice.”
Oreo: “Small zippy little sportscar. Clean and stealth look, but mayhaps a little TOO simple. I would appreciate more detail with both bodywork fixtures or graphics (not saying to do a livery btw - just to complete the overall stealth package and be more purposeful I’d say). Otherwise, a pretty solid entry that’s maybe a little too simplistic.”
4th – @Fantic2000 – Condor Foiniks Exorcist
First impressions are that this will be incredibly sticky to the ground and quite agile, with is massive rear wing and downforce elements at the front. And - maybe unsurprisingly, it scores 3nd in agility! But we’ll get to that later. First, this car has the highest sportiness by far, which sacrifices a lot of comfort, but notably still not the worst - good tuning! This is reflected in its agile performance, too - scoring 3rd best in the 20m and 2nd in 200m cornering. Body roll could be better, and although still above average, this car could be better with less weight (1500kg) but these two complaints are really minor tbh. Surprisingly too, it only has the 2nd best downforce with that massive wing, but still really good and helps it achieve 3rd place in agility. As for speed, well, that rear wing does cost this car a lot of top speed, at 342km/h it’s well below average in this super fast field, but actually has the 2nd-best acceleration of only 2.35s and good 1/4mi times and braking distance at 32.84m. It’s clear that the 7-spd dual-clutch gearbox is tuned for acceleration, but I think that if the 6.3L naturally-aspirated V8 works harder, it could have a higher top speed and allow some more dowforce in the speed budget (it only makes 642hp). Anyways - toughness! 9th place - not bad but also not good. Really just not helped by its below average safety, weight and aesthetics (looks slightly fragile). Overall, a really good-looking, purposeful car with incredible attention to aero detail, and good engineering overall, but perhaps outgunned by entrants who laser-focused on specific categories.
Ivan: “A very angry & menacing GT, aggressive all over & a good livery too, main complaint would be the absolutely tiny exhausts .”
Oreo: “What I love most is the wide stance of the car and aggressively modified looks. It looks perfect as a street-race modified version of a sportscar, complete with the tasteful police livery (aside from ‘exorcist’ and the absolutely tiny side exhausts) lmao.”
3rd – @VaporRossa – Veronica Interceptor V2
First impressions, design-wise it’s quite similar to our actual design winner, but this car was Oreo’s favorite lol, due to the more curvy look and strong design lines with a small bumper bar at the front for a more tough(ish) look. However, Ivan really preferred the other design due to its added realism. From an engineering standpoint, it’s only average overall, with a good score in speed (3rd), and… that’s it. Agility wasn’t too bad at 6th but toughness ironically is at 10th - that front bar is very misleading! As for universal stats, it scores well below average in reliability, hurting its modifier - but, it does have good sportiness, fuel economy, and drivability. Speed-wise, it is really good across the board, with a top speed of 378.5km/h, acceleration of 2.54s, and the 2nd-best 1/4mi and 1km times outside of the outlier that is Speed Demon’s VIPER. Agility-wise it has good stats across the board, with all being above average, which includes 20m and 200m cornering, body roll control, weight, downforce and footprint. This has nice tuning so perhaps an increase in power and downforce could help it here. Toughness is where it falls apart and why it only ranks 3rd overall (even though being carried by its design), because it’s only scoring 4th worse reliability. Weight and footprint is always a compromise - either you optimize it for agility or for toughness, and unfortunately it was clear agility is a priority. Not a surprise that toughness was bad, but perhaps more reliability could help it a lot. Overall, a really nice car with good engineering across the board and tuning, and it only got this far with incredible help from its design, which is stellar. Not saying the engineering is bad, but slightly outclassed.
Ivan: “A super good looking sportscar, sleek & swwpoy lines - all supported by a very good looking livery.”
Oreo: “Okay this is a really sexy car. Wow. I LOVE the curvaceous design that is extremely cohesive in the entire car. The bodywork is gorgeous. The graphics tasteful. What I love most is the front split lip design and a functional bumper bar. Nothing else to say but pure sexiness.”
2nd – @vero94773 – Ansel Evolveré (Interceptor)
First impressions is that it’s a stealthy hypercar and looks incredibly powerful. It looks great and extremely purposeful. But what about the stats??? Well, this car surprisingly is the 2nd most comfortable car on the list, with good sportiness, drivability, and fuel consumption - lol. Speed-wise, it scores 5th overall, only losing due to its relatively low top speed of 350km/h (which is still insane) but scoring well on 0-100km/h aceleration, 1/4mi and 1km. Maybe not that surprising considering it only has 700hp and a 4.0L turbocharged V8. It has an 8-spd dual clutch gearbox that I guess is tuned moreso for acceleration rather than flat out top speed. For toughness, it only scores 6th, due to its quite relatively low safety, footprint, reliability and weight values, but this is hardly a surprise since it is a hypercar after all. Environmental resistance is the highest though, perhaps owing to the build quality of its chassis and body panels, both… made out of regular aluminum, surprisingly. Agility-wise, it is solidly average in the 20m cornering and weight of the car (at 1600kg!) but shines in its stable body roll, downforce, and footprint (relatively small). However, this car did not really take home the ‘best of anything’ really - at the end of the day it’s just a solid and well-engineered, balanced car that can do all types of duties relatively well, with a really nice and cohesive design on top. Again like a previous car, mayhaps a more focused approach towards a singular category would help the car score better - but otherwise it’s really good still!
Ivan: “A super good looking hypercar, looks to be built with purpose & just looks mean - not much to complain about.”
Oreo: “First impressions are a really functional and no-frills car. Pure stealthy matte black look with no added fuss. Extremely well done bodywork and evenly placed detail in all areas of the car, along with a cohesive design. However, to me it loses out a bit in specialness to some of the others here (only extremely slightly).”
1st – @azkaalfafa – Chirurgico Squalo PS Enforcer
First impressions of the Chirugico Squalo is that, design-wise, it looks like a much better executed design than a similar entrant. It looks like it’s a very fast car, and although scoring 1st in the speed category overall, it ironically is only (technically) the second fastest car in the field - what really pushed this over the other car (Speed Demon’s VIPER) is that, unlike that car, this car is quite reliable, comfortable, easy to drive, and does not sacrifice sportiness. It is by far more ‘general’ - going super fast without killing itself. A top speed of 398km/h (247mph) is the second fastest of the group - and doing so with only(!) 750 horses in a 6.4L V12… that is naturally aspirated. This car also registered the second fastest acceleration time of 2.35 seconds, only beat by that other fastest car of 2.33 seconds, and very good 1/4mi, 1km, and 100-0 braking distances as well, thus winning the entire speed category. As for toughness and agility… well, actually not too bad either! For agility, it ranks 5th, with above average 20m cornering but slightly below average 200m cornering. . Body roll is a highlight though - it’s kept in check, and weight and footprint is not too bad either. Downforce is a bit lacking - perhaps due to the focus on speed. As for toughness, it does not do very well, but honestly most of the other cars too, and because of its more general stats lifting this score up, it was able to achieve 3rd overall, with most of the actual stats such reliability, weight and footprint being slightly better than average, with lower than average safety and bad aesthetics (it does not look that tough). Environmental resistance is a highlight though. Overall, this car is pretty balanced engineering-wise (which helps the categorical judging) with a clear focus on speed, while scoring 4th on design (quite good already), and the combination of a really balanced, well-engineered car across the board and a really great design helped this car win overall. Nice job!
Ivan: “A really cool supercar this one, low & fast - however the roof might just be a tad bit too low, almost as if the guys would struggle to fit in this one, but complimented by a good livery too.”
Oreo: “What I really like about this design is the proportions (though I’m gonna dock it a bit with that massively tall rear). Otherwise, it’s really solid. Graphics are nicely balanced and tasteful, and bodywork is nicely done, not too flat but not crazy either. Detail is also there.”

I really want to make an actual game art box cover but I uhhh haven’t done that yet so I will do it soon once I have access to my other laptop oops.
Yay. I did well done, even that is 5 place. Engineer is my specialty and place 2nd on all categories! Thank you for fun!
now this is epic
There were some absolutely stunning entries in this field. And even though the reviews took a while, I think they were thorough and worth the wait.
Not at all surprised by my finish, and I actually feel a bit like “mission accomplished” given that it was described as a very common cop car or commuter car converted for cop duty–which was exactly the point of the design. I knew it was going to get blown out of the water performance-wise but was hoping to maybe score well in a category–and it did.
Congrats to all the top finishers!
Fun challenge, would recommend
10/10 ign it has a little something for everyone
That was quite fun! Thank you Oreo and Ivan for hosting, I can tell a lot of work was put into it. And GGs for the other participants.
As for hosting the next round, unfortunately I’m quite swamped with academic stuff, so I’ll have to pass it down.
Okay, I’ll host the next AGC
Will update when the cooking is finished
The bar has been raised.
The stakes have been risen indeed
AGC37 is here! Sorry we took a while
