Camoria Automotive: The Best Isn't Good Enough

As usual, the attention to detail is amazing, but the front does look off. That chrome piece around the headlights extends too far to the outside of the vehicle.

I thought the same, but I felt the front was lacking in chrome for the time. I’ll post an edited version without it to see if that helps.

Better?:

[size=200]Camoria Automotive[/size][size=200]:[/size] [size=200]Ever Challenging Convention[/size]

[size=200]Design[/size]:

[size=150]Front Fascia[/size]:
We can’t help but add in our signature grille design. This version here is the more stretched out version. This functional piece also adds great aesthetics to the front of the car. Fog lamps are also added to the grille in order to add more detail to the area. The classic Camoria badge design is also placed on the front, and the chrome is extended to the edge of the front fascia. The design of the car places luxury and performance in the top tier of interest.

[size=150]Headlamps[/size]:
Once again, the Camoria design division’s Headlamps of Horus make an appearance. In fear that the design was getting stale after continual use, the men and women in the design department switched it up with a rather controversial vertical design. Instead of the lights running width-wise, the lights are placed on top of each other to meet with the demands of the wheel arches. The two lamps also are wrapped in chrome, a rear addition to the lights. Even on our most luxurious models, like the Z-Style, the headlamps are not chromed. The men and women at the design department wanted to make this one special. The chrome-wrapped lights stand out from the rest of the line-up.

[size=150]Venti-Ports[/size]:
What can we say, we love 'em. Although, you may notice that these are at the rear of the side rather than the front. This is purely a functional change to meet with the rear-engine cooling demands.

[size=150]Rear Fascia[/size]:
Due to, what is felt by the design department, an overuse of the square and circular taillights, the design department was pressured to use different taillights. The effort, in our eyes, proves successful.

[size=150]Spare Photo[/size]:
We thought this angle looked cool.

[size=200]Engine[/size]:
Despite some heated controversy and gossip, the Camoria-MONO unity still remains strong. Their engines prove to excel power, fuel efficiency, and cost. We are proud to advertise their engines in our vehicles. The one used in the 2-Style is called the MONO Pocket Pistol (Great name):

[size=150]Tell us what you think![/size]
Which do you prefer:
[ul]Camoria 8-Style
Camoria 2-Style[/ul]

The car looks great I think however the weak point is the engine. it seems quite unrefined, suffering from very heavy lag it is also quite fragile and fuel hungry. Other then that the car’s stats look good.

This as well as the 8-Style will feature V6s when the time comes.

The Reliability is broken for cars that produce more than 100-horsepower-per-liter, and has been for a while. Unless they fixed it without me noticing.

You make a 1.4 liter SOHC I4 that produces more than 240 horsepower, scores considerably more efficiency, and doesn’t have any turbo lag. All on premium pump gas, with 60 productivity units. :wink:

I would also raise question about your statement that it is fuel thirsty. It does get 38mpg, far better than cars with similar powered engines. For example, a 2.5litre dodge v6 getting 250hp struggles to get 20mpg.

To add to this statement, according to the Devs, there will be about a 15% subtraction to the efficiency of engines, to make them closer to real life specs. And even then, that leaves the 2-Style at about 32MPG, hardly thirsty for a 240 horsepower Turbo engine.

That bug only applied to building a engine without the car’s cooling calculated, as I can see the fitting arrows that picture was taken from the car editor. The problem with that engine is it’sjust revving too high for it’s bottom end, most likely it has a long stroke to help the efficiency and the rods are failing. I don’t like doing this on someone else’s page, but I was asked.


The engine is good right to the red line, and it can rev to 9200 and still keep it’s reliability over 60 if you wanted.


feel free to modify as you wish.

I love this one! Especially the design on the front of the car :slight_smile:

That’s very nice of you to say! Thank you!

[size=200]Design[/size]:

[size=150]Front Fascia[/size]:
The headlights take a daring look, using two vents instead of the average single. The light itself is also slimmer than the normal rounded headlamps. The Signature Camoria grille also takes on a different style. The average clean design becomes a bit more complex with the extra vertical band. As normal, the bonnet bump is the same width as the center-piece. A hood-vent also spans the length of the hood and meets at the extra band.


[size=150]Side[/size]:
The side profile adds some decorative vents to give the car an aggressive look.

[size=150]Butterfly Taillights[/size]:
The rear-vents take on a somewhat butterfly look. They flow in a manner similar to a butterfly’s wings. The design also leaves a great pattern on the taillights.


[size=200]Engine[/size]:
Nothing but the best:

[size=150]What makes a car luxurious?[/size]

Is your new Merc all the better because it has 15,000 different settings for your homescreen? Is your Tesla all the more luxurious because you can surf the web while driving? None of these things matter. So often today automotive manufacturers confuse luxury with techie. A true luxury automobile should revolve around one concept:

[size=200]Comfort[/size]

Doesn’t Clarkson always rip on Mercedes for having horribly stiff suspension? Why would a luxury car sacrifice the comfort of the driver and passengers for improved performance? That is why we at Camoria Automotive built this current L-Style to be a comfortable car.

[size=200]Design[/size]:

[size=150]Front Fascia[/size]:
Once again, the dual Horus display appears. This time, however, instead of one slanted lamp, the car features a more luxurious three rounded headlamps and one indicator. (When the LED headlamps come out, expect those on cars like this) This signature grille is not featured on this car. This is a very specific design in order to add some exclusivity to the design. Given that many of the Camoria cars feature the grille, this luxury car takes a step up from that design. We still provide with a glimpse of the design with the lower section of the car.


[size=150]Venti-Ports[/size]:
We chose the slit design for the venti-ports so that the car exudes a bit more opulence than the normal car. The car also has chrome siding spanning the length of the car, for added luxury.


[size=150]Taillights[/size]:
The taillights are very unique on this car. We took three slanting vents and stacked them to give the taillights a cascading look.

All this pictures don’t add up, they were taken on different occasions. In one the car has a double wing, in other a simple, in one it has a back lip, in the other it hasn’t.

1st picture has correct stats but old body. The other shots are the current body. I didn’t feel like taking all new photos for the first shot. I’ll update if the world comes crashing down around this.

-George Bernard Shaw

It is time for change within Camoria Automotive. Our previous philosophy has served us well, even brought on some of our greatest, most critically-acclaimed cars. Yet, as many greats do, it must retire. Brand imaging has been our greatest triumph and our greatest downfall. Our imaging has been uses so much that we fear it has made the cars look unoriginal. It no longer took much effort to slab together a car to present. This could not do. We at Camoria Automotive hold ourselves to a higher standard. We hold the public to a higher stand. Thus, we commenced change. After many weeks of reorganization, Camoria Automotive is proud to present its newest design language:

[size=200]Artistic Momentum[/size]:

Modeled very similarly to our Sculpted Physics division, Artistic Momentum follows the philosophy of beauty through engineering. When designing our cars, we focus on passion, art, and emotion.

Why can’t car companies just make an attractive car?
We’re doing that

Why can’t car companies just make a simple car, without a million gadgets?
We’re doing that

Why can’t I have a nice car for little money?
We’re doing that

We have reached the generation of Camoria Automotive cars where we can say “We’re doing that.” We are a company of doers, and we will not hold ourselves back by doing things conventionally.

**[size=150]What will propel us into the next generation?/size][/size]:

It’s not the most powerful, it’s not the most efficient, and it’s not the most torque-filled. What it is is a basic, cheap, reliable engine. That’s what Artistic Momentum is meant to be. Camoria Automotive still believes that the best isn’t good enough, but now our best is producing what is best for you.**

[size=200]Design[/size]:

[size=150]Front Fascia[/size]:
The Horus Headlamps are distinctively absent from this production. Don’t let that discourage you, for in its place are two strikingly aggressive headlamps. Featured as well is a slim center grille, as requested by users.

[size=150]A New Grille[/size]:
Egad! Could it be true? Yes, it is true, and it is a revolution. The new grille cleans up the entire front fascia. Those thick bands surrounding each vent on the old grille have been replaced with a slim and stylish new one. The vertical lines down the middle add a bit of variety to the grille. The ends also bend down at a more significant level than the stock grille design. We hope that this pleases the eye and would appreciate any comments, positive or negative, about it.

[size=150]Venti-Ports[/size]:
We couldn’t resist.

[size=150]Rear Fascia[/size]:
We went with a more traditional look for the rear fascia. We chose some stock headlamps and molded them to give them a sleek, aggressive look.


[size=200]Engine[/size]:

We really hope you enjoy the new design and would greatly value any comments.

The design of your cars is always very inventive and very clever and almost all of your designs I like, so I must praise you massively there. I do have a few comments to make about each car though that appears on this page:

Camoria I-Style: The car itself is fine, it is the engine that concerns me. The power at anything below 5000 rpm is hot hatch level, not supercar level and the MTBF is 0. 244 CI is about 4 litres if I am not mistaken, so perhaps making the engine a bit bigger and the turbos a bit smaller may help achieve a better and more useful powerband and perhaps even fix the MTBF issue. Other than that, the car seems superb.

Camoria L-Style: Perfect, however engine needs optimizing as 74 AKI seems very low.

Camoria GTC G2: Same story as the I-Style.

The Artistic Momentum turbo engine: Turbo power as of 5k rpm, redline at 5.8k rpm. You have a short burst of power right at the end of the rev range and every time you shift you will end up with next to no power. Not good at all.

Camoria Mark-X: Tiny engine making big power is not ideal for cars like this, not to mention the poor reliability. The design, as always is fantastic.

Thank you very much for your concerns. I am always proud to have people care enough about the brand to want to improve it.

I do have some responses, as a brand:

I-Style and G2: The Super 8 has served us well in the racing division. We understand that it is not perfect at the moment, and will always be improving, but until our friends at MONO Performance send over something we feel is better (There is something in the works) we will put it in. The G2s reliability issue is an easy ventilation error on my part.

L-Style: Camoria has plans to replace that engine with a V8 variant, but desired to show off the car before.

AM: The engine is a baseline engine that serves with out motto: “The Best Isn’t Good Enough.” We want to demonstrate our improvement by introducing an engine (currently unused in any of our vehicles) that can be greatly enhanced. Progress of this will be marketed on the forums.

Mark-X: The MTBF does concern us, and we will work on improving it. That car as well, will feature a V8 variant soon.

As a forum member/ game player:

I am not particularly brilliant at designing engines. They’ve never been my strong spot nor the area where I take pleasure from the game. This is why I add so much detail to explaining my designs and not much about the engine. I always value comments about how I can improve on my tuning and engine choices, but at heart, this is a coach-building forum. What I took away from your comments was that you liked the design of my new car, which is what concerned me more than anything else.
