I’m getting quite some nice submissions, 5 have been approved so far.
It seems V8’s between 4 and 5 liters are the most common entry until now.

Here’s the prototype of the Franklin Bandit. Once built, Franklin decided not to get into making Pony or Muscle cars so the IP is up for sale.

1968 Winthorpe Whaler 333DB
James Mardon, 16 years old and ready for adventure, didn’t listen to his Dad when he was being driven into his first day of work at the local Bogliq car factory. James was too excited; he’d won the competition and he was to start working as an Intern Designer at the Bogliq by Design Centre attached to the local facilities.
His dad worked for Ardent as a manager for engine supply; he worked hard but there was little prospect for decent contracts in a town dominated by the big blue “B”.
James clocked in, reported to work and was told to “keep your eyes open and your mouth shut!”. He had a lot of absorbing to do and he did it willingly; his pay was great and everyone was friendly and helpful.
After a few days, James became aware that there was a project that was having trouble. Bogliq by Design had an advanced Ponycar Concept that needed an engine and a designer. James tried to listen quietly but he just couldn’t hold it in… “Buy engines from Ardent! They need to ship a bunch of V8’s soon or else my Dad will lose his job!”.
Needless to say, Jame’s outburst caused consternation. He was way outta line and he’d uttered the forbidden name! Silence reigned. Then the project manager turned to James but spoke to the room. "The kid’s got a point. We can’t supply the engines but Ardent can. Winthorpe needs a Ponycar or else they’ll lose critical sales mass and fold within a decade. It’s time to bury this feud and make everyone lots of money!
James was then invited to help the design team, since the lead designer had failed to show up for work, so he spent the next week finalising the Winthorpe proposal…
1968 Winthorpe Whaler 333DB
A classy Pony, ready to ride, free as the wind, with power to take on anything thrown its way…
thanks to the 333 cubic inch Ardent Toledo V8!
Now all James needed was for Walter Winthorpe to select the BbD proposal and save his Dad’s job…

SMC has decided to take up Mr Winthorpe up on his offer to design and build the prototype for his son Anton. The car may not be the top model like everyone elses but here at SMC we only build a hand full of cars a year. this prototype may not be the winning model but it gets our name out there we aren’t used to building production models so we did our best. ( i failed Some critera but im still learning and its hard to squeeze the rest of the stats up) But with that said we did do what we do best making a high performance / race model.
Today we intoduce the Kangarat and the Kangarat Racer.
the Kangarat uses a NA I6 where as the Kangarat Racer uses a Standard V8 we use for most of performance cars.
(left Is A Perfomance car i have made but thats not important, Right is The Kangarat the potential new Winthorpe Pony Car)

10 entries so far(2 needing work to be valid). Still 2 days to deadline.
Mine isnt one of the ones needing resubmission is it?
Doesn’t look like it. There’s a list near the top of the page with updated submission info.
yep, I update the first post with the participants list whenever I get a submission
Presenting the Winthorpe Fosse GT. Originally intended as a homologation car for a race series. Unfortunately for Winthorpe, a rule change for the 1968 season rendered their car unusable. Accountants for Winthorpe hope the CEO will decide to put the car into production, without the racing series to advertise it, to make back the money invested in its development. While it bares little resemblance mechanically to the race car on which it was based, it nevertheless sports a race inspired exterior, with side-exit exhaust, a special fiberglass hood with hood pins, and a fiberglass spoiler. It is powered by a 4.8L V8 with twin, two barrel carburetors making 244 horsepower and 302lb-ft of torque.

Time’s up!
There are 10 valid entries and I’ll make a post with all of them in one go pretty soon.
I have sent the beamNG mods of all cars to our designated Stig, @Elizipeazie, who will see how they perform on the Hillclimb #1 of the Automation test track map. He’ll do a few practice runs with all cars and then a few official tries. There is no deadline to this, so when he’s done, he’s done.
I’m going to set a poll for the aesthetics vote as well. It’s an ordering type of poll, so you don’t just vote for the better looking, you have to put them all in order of preference.
During this week, the test drive results from me will also be done.

The Full Lineup:
ordered by automation rating(pony segment, gasmea)
Phi Super 6 by @S31
This green pony was the only car to pass the 200 line for the pony demographic. It did so with a sporty 4.5 liter Inline 6 engine churning out 195hp.
Husar 230 by @ImKaeR
Second place Husar, sports a 5 liter V8 dropping 226hp.
Whaler by @HighOctaneLove
This shiny red pony had almost the same automation rating as the Husar, and comes with a 5.5 liter V8 that surprisingly only outputs 165hp
Mongoose GT by @Maverick74
The fourth placed, gentle styled Mongoose comes equipped with a 4.4 liter V8 with 190hp
Typhoon by @DrPepper2002
This slick lined, shiny blue pony boasts a 4.5 liter V8 with 196hp
Krait by @SenseiB12
This shiny purple pony had almost identical ratings to the Typhoon, and just like the better rated one, also sports an Inline 6 engine with 4.4 liters capacity and 188hp
Meteor by @Barnabyfoxx
This roundy, shiny yellow pony sports a 4.6 liter V8 with 203hp
Hurricane GT by @GassTiresandOil
This dark green pony comes with a 4.4 liter V8 that outputs 189hp
Bandit by @Jaimz
This amazingly looking red pony not only comes with an really well designed interior but also sports a 4 liter V8 with 179hp
Fosse GT by @johnkilo3
The last placed Fosse comes with a 4.8 liter V8 with 244hp. That’s the most of all the participating models, unfortunately, it was not what the pony market segment really wants.
Congrats to @S31 for winning this part of the competition. In the land of the V8’s, it’s the inline 6 that rules.
