Also have an ad but no file from:
Still plenty of time so no major rush for others who are wishing to submit.
I’m working on one, hopefully it’ll be done by the weekend

A new car has been spotted on the streets of Kobe, the home of the not-so-world-renowned manufacturer Meisho. It makes strange noises, whooshing noises as it accelerates, and it screeches if the driver is a bit too heavy with their right foot. They say that within, she puts out at least 500HP that goes into all four wheels, and that with those meaty tyres, she can put down all that power hard enough to accelerate to 100KPH in under 3.5 seconds, and then go on to a top speed of over 310KPH.
Whatever this car is, let’s hope Meisho doesn’t go bankrupt before they can build a few…
Dynara Lissa
Celebrating 20 Years of Dynara win at Le Mans
Carrozzeria Dynara is proud to unveil a creation born from memory, mastery, and motorsport spirit. To honor the 20th anniversary of the heroic victory at the 1958 24 Hours of Le Mans, Dynara present a machine shaped by passion and guided by his legacy.
At its heart lies a hand-built 5L V12 engine, tuned with experimental turbochargers. The Lissa is a prototype designed for the street. Reimagined from the ground up, the Lissa retains the silhouette of Dynara’s classic endurance racers while integrating two decades of engineering refinement.
Remembering Franco Lissa
Franco Lissa was one of the defining figures of Carrozzeria Dynara’s early racing efforts. Born in 1929, he joined the small Italian workshop as a tractor mechanic until the war forced him to leave everything behind. a Big fan of the gran prix races of the era, Franco reinvented himself after the war and decided to live his life towards his dream of becoming a GP driver. He started racing in regional championships with his own car until Giovanni Dynara saw his potential and hired Lissa to be one of his drivers, Lissa was different to other drivers, he stayed with the mechanics and also took part on the upgrades and repairs of his own car.
After many attempts and desings, Dynara came victorious in 1958 after winning the 24 hours of Le Mans with Lissa being the main driver of the team, even after being victorious, Lissa decided to stay with Dynara and develop the team with Giovanni, Lissa helped develop the next generation of prototype cars in the 60s alongside the brand, with getting a couple podiums at the Mille Miglia with Lissa at the wheel while having fierce competition.
All the details of the Dynara Lissa ressemblance the story of Franco, the fierce will of his, the detail and perfectionist he were and the innovations (Or madness) he develop with us.
Thank you for everything Franco, my dear friend.
Giovanni Dyanara
such a cool concept wth. I was looking for something to build and now i found it
The year was 1978. Gas was cheap, disco was king, and 500+ horsepower was commonplace. Being a small-car specialist, Armor Motors was always at a disadvantage when it came to raw power numbers. Management would never approve anything more than a small block V8 for production, so their engineers had to think outside the box.
Armor’s new V8 was a 4V overhead cam design, utilizing the very latest in fuel delivery technology. Measuring 323 cubic inches, it was an impressive little V8, but that alone was not going to cut it against the monsters built by other companies. Armor enlisted the help of a roots-style supercharger, bringing horsepower up to 435.
Power was acceptable, but Armor’s engineers saw another problem. Horsepower was increasing dramatically every day, but 0-60 times and quarter-mile times weren’t really improving as much. The real problem wasn’t horsepower at all.
The real problem was traction.
Armor’s engineers created an all-wheel-drive system to handle the new power. Special aftermarket 16 inch wheels and radial tires helped the new Streethawk Talon to a sub-four second 0-60 time. Trap speeds were in the mid-twelve second range.

Currently there is roughly 3 and a half days left until submissions close. In addition to the aforementioned submissions and ads, I have received additional entries from:
@David_Herrera
@GassTiresandOil
Also have ads but no file thus far from:
@Isabella
@MoteurMourmin
@Riley
Also, I will give leeway for ads to be posted after the deadline has passed. That is all
The new update has dropped, and a bunch of my WIPs have had some stats changed. Any chance of an extension to the deadline?
Edit: Seems likely that the stuff impacting mine was pretty minor. Has anyone been massively impacted?
If others are having issues with changes that the update has caused I am happy to extend the deadline. I’ve not opened any of the cars in Automation yet so if those who has submitted already can check theirs as well just to make sure.

Muscle as it’s supposed to be!
Specs
Engine
It has a supercharged 4999cc DOHC16 Single Point EFI
V8 engine making 558hp, 861Nm of torque,
and revving up to 5300RPM.
For emissions it holds up to WES 5.
Drivetrain
A manual 5-speed delivers the power
to a clutched LSD on a RWD platform.
Which make this sporty coupe a monster of a vehicle.
Performance
With a weight of 1211kg the V8 manages to get
the car from 0-100 in 4.7 seconds,
and up to a topspeed of 313km/h.
Handling
For suspension the Bruiser SC has a
double wishbone front, and rear setup.
Combined with gas mono-tube dampers.
Big vented disc brakes and ABS
help with responsive handling.
Interior
The interior is a sporty environment
with 2 seats in leather.
It comes with a premium 8-track and AC.
Now, let’s do a burnout!
My car is still rules compliant and has minimal stat changes, my current .car file should be fine.
Do you dislike the environment? Do you wish you could fly past it at just shy of 300km/h? Introducing the Thorne Carmine. Equipped with the Bloodline 758 you’ll feel your blood rush, especially with the extreme wheelspin. You’ll struggle to keep this monster tamed or your money back. With no regard for safety standards or pesky emissions you’ll enjoy cool comfort with a premium wooden interior, dual leather seats and built in AC. Is it safe? No; is it easy to drive? Also no but it’s damn fun to drive.
I also gave it extremely wide tires and messed with the gearing but whatever I did I just couldn’t get this thing to handle well, I’ve run out of time but I probably would have tuned the engine more to get that power down anyway I hope she does ok.
1978 Arlington Airacobra 303 Magnum
As the frenzied pace of the horsepower wars showed no sign of letting up, Arlington’s performance engineers worked nonstop to create ever more shocking performance tech. With gas plentiful and drag strips still central to culture, the only restrictions were physical ones: Grip, weight and drag.
In an environment like this, management made the decision to build Arlington’s next small-car platform in two wheelbases: A long one that would include all the traditional bodystyles, and a coupe-only short one. This latter vehicle, dubbed the Airacobra and assigned a “sub-pony” size class, would be the focus of Arlington’s performance car program.
All versions of the new platform came with a rear-mounted transmission and a De Dion axle, as seen on some Italian sports sedans. The handling- and acceleration focus is further enhanced by an engine lineup where aluminum heads are universal - and aluminum blocks available.
Speaking of engines: The Airacobra offers two “Magnum” packages, both of which are supercharged V8s. One is a 303ci small block, recommended for road courses and street driving - and the other is a 462ci Big Block Arlington dragster. Equipped with an advanced transistorized ignition and injection system - for the sake of power, not efficiency - the former engine, which is optimized for high engine speeds, is topped by a formidable 4-liter supercharger and enables a final power figure of 525 hp at 6500 rpm, with 460 ft-lbs of torque at 5000. With its shortened and lightweight aluminum block, the engine weighs under 400 lbs with accessories, though obviously excluding the exhaust system.
This power is routed through a rear-mounted rock crusher-style gearbox into a differential which can be specced in a drag final drive for prepped-surface, race-tire acceleration - and believe me, it will do wheelies in those conditions - or the as-specced “airplane gear”, meant for circuit racing and marginal streetability, that enables a 186mph top speed while still maintaining a 3.5s to 60 acceleration time. Hell, it’ll do a quarter in the very low elevens and 1km in under 20. This is made possible by incredibly sticky bias-ply construction rear drag tires with a minimal street-legal tread and a total absence of belts - though those are present on the smaller fronts whose calling is to corner.
This total 303 package, with its unrivaled drag-racing prowess alongside heroic street manners, is the standout dedicated sports Arlington for 1978.
One of these things is a decadent, ostentatious symbol of excess - pointlessly fast, needing multiple fuel tanks to get anywhere, years of training to operate, a corporate-sized budget to maintain, and as a form of personal transportation is downright preposterous.
The other is an airplane.
Dalluha Coach & Motor Works Norðwagen presents the…
(Nordwagen Ragnarok Touring 12-cylinder two-wheel-drive)
Forgive the noob question, been out the the game for years now and things look a lot different. When you say techpool default +5 are we still allowed quality on top of that so long as we’re in budget? Or just the default +5 and no touching the slider orherwise?
Techpool refers exclusively to how you set up the techpool window, which by default is +5 everything. Quality can be any value unless explicitly restricted in a challenge (which in this one, it isn’t - so go as high or low as you’re comfortable).
1978 Wells P2-Concept
Introduced as a design and engineering study of what could be possible in the future. Although a concept, it seemed like it was production ready more than anything, mostly at least. Sporting creased styling as if it were a folded paper plane, finely tuned double wishbone suspension at all four corners. At the heart sits a bullet proof 536hp Supercharged 350ci V8, routed through a 4spd manual all feeding the rear. 60mph from a standstill comes in at 5.4 seconds, not too shabby, hopefully this is something we will see on the road one day.
I finish build car but the problem is I have hard to find design style for late 1970s. My car is design for mostly comfort but fast accelerate, but this look kind of… sleeper.
