In the spirit of the to-be-entrant to the market in the coming years, the Gumpert Apollo, here is the pre-emptive salvo, a >1000hp fire breathing balls-to-the-wall trackday special that might lure some supercar punters (if they pined for the bonkers supercars of the 90s over being glamorous or even comfortable, that is):
Will it run my company broke, or will it make enough for us to continue developing faster, better projects??? Only time will tell.
My car is looking less and less like a hot-hatch, actually currently itās one of the lowest scoring groups even though itās got quite nice sporty engine. I must have made it too comfortable 
.
I donāt even know if Iām going to compete. I raged so hard on the last one that it took away all the joy I had from playing and in the end I felt the community thought I was a sore loser douche-bag.
Mars Engineering just entered the CTC with itās new:
[color=#FF0000][size=150]ME Fallax Nothus[/size][/color]
666hp
666nm
'nuff said!
If you donāt compete anymore you are, yes. 
Criticism is good, it makes me think about the challenge mechanics again. But itās all about how you tell it. You are very welcome to participate again, I usually like your somewhat uncommon approaches. Just donāt take the challenge too seriously. There are some āluck elementsā in the challenge, so I can understand that you may think you wasted your time if you spent 10 hours on a car and donāt succeed. The challenge was never meant to give the people with more time a huge advantage. Thatās why the challenge works how it is. And I think people do appreciate it because for other challenges you need much more time to be successful than for the CTC. The number of participants shows that the approach is not too wrong in my opinion.
Petokraka Automobiles submitted the Khusus, the sporty yet somewhat comfortable sedan. The car itself is around 90% identical to the Khusus of 2006 (not released yet in my companyās thread) but some changes were made for this challenge, such as setting the model year to 2003. The engine is basically an upgraded version of the inline six used in our 1999 Khusus xTreme. We changed some parts and altered the turbocharger a bit to get better performance. Everything is built according to the Petokraka Automobiles principles: no quality sliders, must be able to use 91 RON/regular quality fuel.
It has a top speed of 280 km/h and does 0-100km/h in 4,1 seconds with our SmoothGear BZA5 automatic transmission. Oh, and it has a weight of 1704,3 kg.
Good luck to everyone participating in this challenge! 
I always make a copy of the spreasheet and fill all the columns with several car models. That was 8 cars I made. I picked the hothatch one because it was the best looking. But I was even more mad when I found out that any other car of the ones I made would have been better. That is also why my cars are usually oddities. Because I wait until the last day to pick one that I think no-one will do. That approach totally flopped last time.
Iām actually building my first car 2003 car now.
From a beautiful county in Slovakia called Orava
comes a beautiful car youāll probably drive there only in first gear!
Oravan Jastrab One. The one and only with perfect 1:1 hp:kg ratio.
Haha yessss all the crazy fast track/super cats are coming out. Now Iām really interested to see how it land out.
I am running into a problem with my car.
I made an engine for it using the system that shows the colored arrows so I know it fits. Problem is the game keeps rounding the size of the engine UP to the next tick. And that next tick is just barely to big, yet it still loads the engine into the car and finishes the test anyway generating the stats. Is that going to be a problem?
It shouldnāt be a problem, but if you want to be on the safe side, just reduce bore by a few clicks.
Ladies and Gentlepeople,
Killrob Engineering is proud to present the latest and least shittiest car weāve ever made: the new KE F03E is finally here!
It is a family carrier through and through, fitting roughly 30 babies, 12 Asians, 5 Europeans, 2 Americans or Your Mom.
Tame enough to be driven by the blind, it has never seen before fuel economics, recently managing to drive more than 1700km (thatās many miles!) on one 65L tank filling.
After the disaster of building a frosty hot hatch in '65 weāre back to crush our competition with glee.
Well thatās a relief, at least it actually fits my momā¦ Couldnāt buy it if it didnāt 
Ladies and gentlemen I give you ā¦ the premium-sporty-rally-family-hatch. Thatās what happens when you limit us to one entry Der Bayer. Itās all your fault.
Many of you probably saw the ZX62GT already in my company thread and on the Airfield Track. SME decided to inject it with steroids and produce a new beastā¦donāt worry, thereās still more room left for next yearās model too. 
The 2003 ZX427GT Coupe has made an appearance.
Welcome another sporty-comfy mix in this competition, inspired by the likes of the Impreza, RS6, M3, etc.
Yeah, it doesnāt have a name yet 
Just a quick update on whose PMs I already received. If you donāt find your name in the list and think you should, please send the PM (again).

Hello again!
Vinter Auto Company would like to present itās newest sports model to the masses!
The Vinter JH27
The power of a turbo six, combined with the extreme discomfort of cheap interior and expensive ārace-tunedā suspension.
What is not to love?!
EDIT: original nickname (āhawkā) was already used as a name.
So, hereās my entry for the challenge:
Fuentes motors, after spending millions on advertising without any success for the company, decided to spend even a more few millions on a new campaign in 2003, taking advantage of the environmental thing!
So this is itā¦ itās all or nothing!
What are you waiting for??? Go buy the f**** car!!! We are broke!!!
Save usā¦
