Prato Motor Company is looking into doing a collaboration, we could: build a car from the ground up, exchange bodies, trade engines, ‘modify a car of each others choosing’ (a Shelby and ford type deal) its whatever you want to do.
If you want to use any of my designs look through my car listings and tell me what you want.
Credit will be given for the original design creator.
That error may or may not have been fixed. Due to ‘magical boogie man errors sent from aliens’ you have to start the ‘file’ so to speak. I can edit it and send it back etc.
I did a complete un-install and re-install and its still acting funny.
So, Normandy Automotive, in collaboration with Prato Motor Company has created this bastard.
When into the lab rolled an irritatingly cheap 4-banger from a company we’d never heard of, the boys were understandably confused. Fortunately, after some CEO powered, hammer-fueled pep-talking, the boys got to work.
While the body remains more-or-less the same, there has been some massive changes. Gone are the metal body and the 1.8 L engine. Gone is the 4-speed auto and gone practicality of the 90’s
In their stead lies Normandy’s famous ZF1 engine tweaked to roughly 550 HP, bolted to a double-clutch 6-speed sequential AWD gearbox.
The body is Carbon Fiber and the suspension has been tightened and toned. The wheels and breaks are bigger and better
All of this gives the Pratsk the ability to complete the Top Gear Test Track in less time the a Koenigsegg CCX, landing it firmly in 8th place over all.

That is pretty terrifying! I am not sure whether to be proud, aroused or ashamed :-p
So the techs loved the look of this car from the get go, but when they went for some spirited driving they felt it lacked a certain something with a name like GT. As Centauri tends to make Grand Tourers that’s what we did, upping the interior to a premium finish and upgrading the the electronics and safety with newer parts of the same quality, the car started to take shape as a comfortable long distance cruiser, but the old turbo engine just was not suited to the task, the torque came too high and it was a tad expensive to maintain. so we used a tried and true design our 9.7 liter V8, specifically a modified version of our Ultimate Van race engine, with 375lbft at idle and 616lbft at 3000rpms this engine could motor the highways all day long, a few changes to the fuel system and swapping out the camshaft led to us being able to pull a average of 30mpg and still lapping the 'Ring in 8 minutes all while reducing the service costs for the car by almost a third. upgrades were made to the brakes, wheels, tires, and suspension settings to deal with the 521 horsepower and huge amount of torque, also a few alterations were needed to fit it under the hood(literately, if you look you can see the piping for the air intakes peeking out in the hood scoops still). you can see the new rear bumper which is part of the undertray we added, helping to keep control at it’s much higher top speed of 334kph.
