extension?
Still got 10 days, but if the number of submissions remains low as we approach the deadline, I will consider extending it. I can also create a poll if needed.

5 days are left, there are currently two submissions, so I’m considering extending the deadline by 10 days (to the October 2). Here’s a poll so you can decide whether to accept the extension or not.

any updates on this svet?
I apologise for such a long wait, my time schedule was horrible for a couple of weeks and was full of unexpected events, but now I finally can post the reviews:
Baylorham T70 “Talulah” - @azkaalfafa
The Talulah screams it’s a late 90’s supercar: very low and long side profile making it look like it’s gliding on the ground like a maglev train. A overall nice-proportioned form, giving the car a very stable-looking scorpion-like stance; although that angle of the sloping line on the side feels too steep, and the line suddenly becomes parallel to the ground when reaches the front bumper. A less steep angle could’ve made the side more sleek, although it would require something to be done with that HUGE side vent which is already enormous. The front arch also has a bit awkward and static shape (understandably, though, as it is probably the most challenging part of a six-wheeler). Making it more conformed to the shape of the existing fender could help. The front of the car is simple yet pretty. The rear is well-balanced and features the notorious set of round taillights you can find on half of the world’s sports cars and coach buses of the era — a very nice detail.
Speaking of details, which this car definitely doesn’t lack: full set of lighting equipment, different badges, the Nāga fangs accompanied with a vent on the bonnet, moldings — although the moldings, specifically the chrome and plastic ones in the front arch area, look a bit cluttery.
The colour scheme pays homage to the original Nāga racecar with the characteristic olive green and light bronze combination.
This car also has an interior, which is also well-detailed, but looks outdated for a 1998 supercar, especially with this wooden trim and control panel looking like it’s from some Vauxhall Carlton. The instrument cluster (with a 300 mph mark on the speedometer!) is pretty cool though.
Worth mentioning that this car is very photogenic.
Baylorham H62 Leviathan Concept - @KSIolajidebt
A very epic build heavily inspired by the original H651 Nāga. Insane proportions with organic wavy silhouette and thick fenders and quarter panels (or whatever it’s called on the rear), giving it a feel of a elaborately-carved sculpture on wheels. The dual-axle front arch is incorporated in a great way. The Nāga-inspired side vents give the car a unique look from above and pave the way for the air from the very edge of the front bumper, through a fanged vent, around the cockpit greenhouse with a sunroof, by the cooling vents and under the rear spoiler which is again inspired by the original racecar.
The two-layer rear of the car resembles the bare chassis part on the Nāga, this time, as it’s not a racecar, covered by a light bronze-coloured rear bumper with a big grille, allowing a peek on the exhaust system and, similarly to Talulah, generic taillights you can find on the early Pagani Zonda and the late PAZ-320530-02 in real life. Not sure about this large empty space right above the grille though, looks like a big hat.
The sides are kinda empty with just a single vent. A bit more intricate form of the sideskirt would be nice.
A somewhat ahead-of-its-time look is excused by the “Concept” status, though the car can be considered road legal. It looks like a very limited production exclusive supercar you can see rarely on some shows and exhibitions.
Baylorham Naga - @OT_motive
A beautiful and surprisingly simple build. Well-balanced proportions with smaller front wheels. Most of the body is left untouched, which makes the design look very clean, though some more details would be welcome.
The front is elegant, adding more to this car’s prestigious look, though it has some sharpness to it which doesn’t look typical for a late 90s car. The rear is a very callipygian combination of only a few fixtures very cleverly put together; a greenhouse seamlessly sloping into the bootlid meets very big and high rear quarter panels akin to a Hot Wheels or a GTA 2 car. If this car was in some open-world action videogame, it would probably be my favourite.
The car lacks some details which would probably make it look more realistic and add some necessary “weight” to the design: wipers, fuel door, panel gaps (although those can be very tricky to make when you have large side molding fixtures), maybe some more work with the shape of the front bumper and the bonnet.
The results are going to be posted soon.
Edit: (hopefully) fixed the position of the images and fixed a typo

Good lord those pictures are gorgeous. I’d even say they did more justice to the Talulah then the ones I took myself…
The skirts + brake vent are yea definitely pretty simple but i was going to retro modern way in the design. Cars like the ford gt and all those other simple late 90’s early 00’s cars did
Main inspiration for that part came from this ferrari P4/5
Also yea i was gonna open it much more but i felt that it was too too open concept car to this already pretty concept car like car
All tho this definitely looks better here this was my idea for that spot
But im glad the concept i tried to make was noticed well from you, very epic review

Even though being really fond of the sporty wild look, the management of Baylorham decided to reject the T70 “Talulah”, as it appeared a bit outdated. Additionally, the Talulah almost looked like something you’d expect from the company if it was still a performance workshop occasionally making cars of their own, but now Baylorham is backed by MMC Corporation and is ready to evolve into a bigger brand. The T70 “Talulah” is a cool track machine suitable for the public road experience, but not quite matching with the company’s aims.
The other two options raise a dilemma. The H62 Leviathan is a mind-blowing road-going concept car and a great successor to the H651 Nāga, it would certainly grab the attention on every motor show and twist everyone’s neck when passing by on the road, but it seems a bit too ambitious for the brand, which has no experience in producing one-offs and limited production exclusive cars. The front-engined Naga, on the other hand, is a more obtainable sleek and elegant grand tourer, the production of which can establish a new image of a brand known not only for little roadsters, tuned production cars and track cars focused on driving experience, but also for more luxurious and comfortable options.
After a long deliberation, the top management of Baylorham made the following verdict:
The car to go into production shall be the H62 Leviathan!
Even though the development of this car would be a challenge, the management decided that the company is ready to accept it, which will allow Baylorham to enter the competition with world-renowned names in automotive industry with this flagship supercar.
Third Place — @azkaalfafa

Thank you for participating in this challenge! I must apologise again for posting the results with another long delay, which was again caused by a time schedule with rare gaps of spare time.

Great reviews, and the pictures you’ve used are really good.
One thing though you might want to write an actual ranking on the bottom of the last post with the people tagged as they might not know you’ve finished it.

Thanks! And thank you for pointing out the ranking. I have edited the post to include it.

Ignoring the fact that the dual tandem front axles were purely aesthetic and could not be simulated accurately ingame stat-wise, this was quite an interesting round, despite the low turnout. Although it’s quite easy to tell what body sets were used for the three builds (the '60 LM prototype for the T70, the '95 FR Outrun for the Naga, and the '95 Super Wedge for the Leviathan), what their users did with them was simply incredible.
However, with only three entries in this CSC, that raises a problem: What if none of the entrants can (or want to) host CSC68? In most challenges with larger entry lists, we wouldn’t have had to worry about it too much, but not this time.
Now this is epic, loved this very unique challenge, epic hosting svet, ill be writing a post ina few days from now
