CTC - Car Tycoon Challenge #6 - 1955 [RESULTS]

You mean the one with the canard on it? :laughing:

(waits for Strop to interject)

Edit: side noteā€¦ how does FireGamerā€™s cars have a ā€œ0ā€ for break even production?

I think Slim Jimā€™s Bubblegum Pop car is funny. It takes 10 of those to produce as much HP as the Pax Americana does at idle. The engine in the Pax Americana produces 117 HP at 1000 RPM.

0-100 - NA :laughing:

I havenā€™t said yet but Norman as usual has the best brand identity. Even the specs are spot on with what his company is supposed to be.

As I said: He sold waaaay to cheap. Because factory, R&D and stuff becomes more expensive at higher sales numbers, he cannot make profit no matter how many cars he sells (with my calculations). Therefore he will be removed because he just steals sales from more serious entries.

LOL! :smiley: GMW used the Isetta 300 as a ā€œperformanceā€ benchmark. The Bubblegum Popā€™s top speed is 1 kph faster than the Isetta. :stuck_out_tongue: As It is also the least expensive car in the group - Iā€™m hoping to smash sales records as well. Or maybe, itā€™ll end up being a ā€œloss leaderā€ā€¦ eagerly awaiting the results!

I think you missed the memo from my companies disastrous experience with the ā€œIts a Carā€ brand. A sub 5k car that nobody bought.

Žnopresk did it again, really solid entry for good money. Too bad for me, because he made a better car and priced it cheaper despite being a bit more expensive to make. With some luck I can at least break even. Even if not, my supercar should cover the loss as always, good thing SuperBarge from Reaper (excellent prestige btw) has only 20000 max production so some customers should be left for my car :smiley:

I only went for 20k because my last trackday car got about 35k sales in a category with far more customers despite being a car I was actually happy with

Well, thanksā€¦ I wasnā€™t sure to have a very good competitive car, butā€¦ now Iā€™m curios to see how many I will sell.

The Z5055 was a total newcomer for the usual Znopresk market. This is an era were every respectable car manufacturer had in catalogue a car for actors, politicians and dictatorsā€¦ and so Znopresk had one. I aimed for confort, prestige and safetyā€¦ Iā€™m still not sure to had the best combinationā€¦ as for the Z847 Iā€™m curious ti see how it will perform.

Best tameness overall for the Z847 and best confort overall for the Z5055!

I hold the record for heaviest car in the competitionā€¦

Unless Iā€™m blind, I donā€™t see my Midnight squarely aimed at any other competition.

This time I didnā€™t even beat the most powerfull car.

Ouch! :astonished: If that happens, hopefully sales of the 587 CoupƩ will make the difference. Thanks for the heads up though!

After this round, Iā€™m going to stop chasing sales/profits and start building cars I actually want to drive, regardless of outcome!

This will be my philosophy as well (especially after my disaster of a luxo-barge)ā€¦ Itā€™ll make for much better reading when scrolling through the top trumps cards as well :slight_smile:

Romanov is pleased with the outcome of their models. Comfort is overrated, we are glad to be among the safest cars among the competition, which means you will still die in case of an accident, but fast and painless.

Glory to Orlovskaya!

when are the results coming in?

Price Overview for every player: Google Folder

Grats to the winners and thanks to everyone for participating! I hope you had fun (because this is what the challenge is all about)! The CTC will now go into Christmas holidays.

YESS! #2 in both CS and MS with the Midnight 320!

Also Der Bayerā€¦ page 2 of the PDF is from CTC5, not CTC6.

Looks like that massive overproduction glut by a few players bit them hard (and everyone else as well). Iā€™d say Iā€™m surprised that I made a loss on the Starlight, but given that multiple people in that category set their production totals to 1mil+ā€¦

Well, that went about a million times better than I was expecting. I wonder what would have happened if I made a bigger factory

Is there any chance you could do the optimum price analysis thingy again for my superbarge, but with a higher limit than what I was already selling for :stuck_out_tongue:

Ps. The second page on the overview is from CTC5 I believe

#1 in OR$ with my only (rushed) car, that was much better than I ever expected! :smiley: :smiley:

I think Iā€™ll specialize in off-road vehiclesā€¦ :laughing:
