ARM41 - RED Sky at Night
Everything changed after 2023. Nothing was the same. Most people think it was terrible. I agree. Now we need things to distract ourselves. Something unique, different.
Special.
Welcome to Night City. Nearly 20 years after the bombing of Arasaka tower, things are still a bit chaotic. Not the most important thing. We’re here for something else. A young woman, a fixer. She works out of the same building as a fairly awful gang. A client of hers gave her a car. Something different, interesting, unique, old.

Issue is, it doesn’t work. Biotechnica owns the fuel market, CHOOH2 is all we’ve got, and this car wants Gasoline. Even then, with everything it lacks on the tech side, driving it would be suicide. So, our client - being the fixer she is - begins to make calls, asking around. Improve my car, and you’ll get some unique gifts in return.
The Rules
- Clone both the imported model and engine family before you start modding. Nowadays this can all be done with one button of the Car Designer tab in Automation - the one circled red in the photo below.
-
Set all dates (model year, trim year, engine family/variant year) to 2020. It is highly recommended to exit the game and reopen it after cloning it and before updating the dates.
-
Fuel Type must be Methanol
-
Techpool must remain unchanged, however Quality Sliders are free
-
All builds must use the following plate from this mod mounted at least on the rear of the car.

The Priorities
The Aesthetic
Cyberpunk RED has a gritty vibe, the car must match that. Dark, Brutal, Old. The build and the story must match.
The Engineering
All it needs to do is match the choices of the mechanics to the choices on the car. Simple as.
The Execution
How the build comes together is less important than your intent behind it, but how things are put together will function as a tie break.
The Inspirations
The Submission
Submissions require a post in this thread featuring at least two images of the car.
Submissions should be messaged to me through the Forums DM system including a link to the post within the thread.
Submissions are required to use the following format for naming or will be binned.
All users who enter the challenge accept to have their .car files shared on the conclusion of this challenge.
The Deadline
Assuming no issues with rules and regulations, the challenge shall open on 2026-01-22T23:00:00Z.
The deadline will be 2026-02-22T11:00:00Z assuming all goes well.
Small Extra Thoughts
Yeah, yeah. I know it’s another open around, but I have had this idea sitting around for a while. The theme and vibe might be a bit esoteric, but I really think the idea and vibe is interesting. The Cyberpunk Fandom Wiki is a good source, but this challenge takes place in the time of the RED ttrpg, not the 2077 Video Game. With that, this is my first challenge I have hosted in a while, and I will guarantee to see this challenge rounded out by the time submissions close, considering this is a long running serial challenge.
