Blanton Motors (1976 Panama)

B1Z-R:
Hearing the cries for more power out of the B1Z, Blanton released the B1Z-R. This little go-cart shaved off 700lbs!!! by throwing away all of the steel and aluminum and replacing it with carbon fiber. the B1Z-R also has optional carbon ceramic brakes, and a downforce undertray. the 1.3l v6 gets pumped full of boost at 25psi, and to take the pressure was given a billet crank, titanium rods, and forged pistons. Running on premium fuel, the punchy little motor revs all the way up to 10,000rpm, making 307hp @ 8500rpm and 203 ft/lbs @ 7,600rpm. Both 1.3l V6’s were specially made to fit the B1Z. And for those quicker shifts, this model was given a 6-speed dual clutch sequential transmission. The B1Z was meant for fun, the B1Z-R is meant for lap-times, and fun.

1970 Bobcat:

With new government regulations surfacing, Blanton Motors feared the worst and came out with a new sporty compact, the Bobcat Sport. This little car used the ever so popular 215ci/3.5L inline 6, in favor of economy made 122hp @ 4,300rpm and 187 ft/lbs @ 2100rpm through triple eco carbs. The base model has a 3-speed auto and drum brakes as standard. for economy, it received 22.7mpg.


Of course there’s a sportier trim level, called the Bobcat Super. The 215ci Inline 6 gets a boost in power, up to 186hp @ 4800rpm and 225ft/lbs @ 3500rpm. Economy suffers, which is down to 16mpg. This model gets the optional 5-speed and disc brakes.

Bobcat somehow reminds me of GTA San Andrea

This car took no inspiration from the pickup truck from grand theft auto.

1972 Tiger:

Blanton Motors update to the American land yacht, this time called the Tiger. Built for comfort, the Tiger floated down America’s highways, but wasn’t the greatest hit due to the oil crises of the 70’s. However, it wasn’t the worst, either, it became popular with higher middle class families, as well as executives who wanted something with presence. The Tiger came in 3 variants; the base sedan, the wagon, and the GTA trim level. The Tiger came with the largest variant of Blanton Motors Small Block; the 397.
Sedan:


I have no clue why it says V6, when it’s a V8
Wagon:

GTA:
again with saying V6?

As part of BRT’s revival, Blanton Motors began construction of their own race track in 2006, and in record breaking time finished in just over a year. Called Boise International Raceway, it currently is host to Blanton Motors testing, SCCA club races, IMSA sectioned GT3, Trans Am racing, and manufacture cup races.
Boise International Raceway was completed one week after the 2008 24hrs of Lemans, when the Leviathan GT3 took its first class win. As a celebration, The winning #77 Flowmaster Exhaust BRT Leviathan GT3 took the first laps of the track, followed an original 1947 B6300.

#1974 BRT BGT-9000:

Debuting in the 1974 24hrs of Le Mans, The BRT BGT-9000 was one of the more successful race cars before BRT’s axing in 1994. The first iteration of the car ran in the 3.0 liter prototype class, meaning in spouted a 3.0l V8 making 352hp. The first year, only one BGT was entered and finished 3rd in class, 2 seconds behind 2nd place, a Porsche 908/4. This would set off the spark BRT needed to get off the ground, and began 17 years of racing glory (before the losing streak).

The aim was to match a fictional vehicle top speed wise, so I had to get as much power out of the motor as possible. and that motor had alot to give.

The quality slider on the box and the aero must be way over +10, judging by your chassis total cost.

I actually did not notice that.
Okay, Blanton, no one is paying 135k for a hatchback which had the clay model chopped with a katana in design

Well you can’t buy a concept car can you? But on the other hand I’m sure there are those who want a 300mph car wether it’s a sliced hatch or a flattened beetle

It would be like driving a ten million dollar car: More likely you’ll be sitting in the car in the garage too terrified to actually drive it anywhere.

They are called overly rich middle easterns without much understanding of car driving. Or the Devel 16 would not ever be a thing :smiley:
