Here at Dalora, we pride ourselves on making car designed to run at track days and in competitions. With recent developments in car design we decided to develop a car using some of this new technology. Here today i present to you our latest model.
[color=#40FFFF]Engine[/color]
The DPE-409H is a 4.0l V8 Twin Turbo engine and third engine developed for this range. The engine in this model, the Echo GT, is actually limited to 900bhp, But this can be further improved.
Ok, in my honest opinion this car is not worth the money at all. Now I’m not the smartest guy ever and correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t AWD bad for corners/tracks? Your production units are ridiculously high, the front end of your car looks very nice and unique but the back end doesn’t scream “$200,000” to me (even though I’m aware you said that it’s designed for simplicity). I’m pretty sure I’d be able to buy a nice 458 or some kind of low end Lamborghini with that kind of money.
So yeah, basically you may want to find different ways of increasing power/reliability etc without putting the quality sliders all the way up to 15 (or it seems you’ve done that atleast), you may want to consider changing your approach to the back end and also I’d like if you could post your lap times around the Automation Test Track
(This is just constructive criticism, not trying to put you down.)
I can see where you are coming from with the Quality sliders. For each version they include differences. Only the GT version has maximum performance sliders… But then i defiantly did not give it full beans on power.
I made a couple of changes and revised the prices. as well as updating the stats and including the Test Track times I will update the engine pic shortly as well
BTW With the same settings a RWD GT goes around in 2:12.66
AWD isn’t necessarily bad for track (if you look at the various Pro Time Attack results, AWD actually tends to do better). It certainly is different to RWD (and FWD obviously), but results depend on several factors, including how good you are at driving AWD. My understanding of the simulation is that the track testing finds the optimum speed for the corner and just sticks to that, meaning that the only difference AWD makes here is that a) with 900bhp AWD means much better acceleration off the mark b) the car is slightly heavier up the front. In this case, a) is clearly more important than b)… however if one was using a rear heavy car like the mid-engined supercar body, then that’s a completely different story!
Note: I’m pretty sure that torque distribution for AWD and LSD will become available soon, as they have a very significant impact on the characteristic and capability of a car.
My comment on the car’s appearance is that it looks like the performance division of Holden and Ford over here (in Australia), like, say, a Holden HSV Senator, so I can see the market for it. However I can tell you that they’re also a fair chunk cheaper at equivalent performance levels (though they don’t like AWD in their sports cars because their market niche is purist like that). On the flip side, the problem with using Q15 on most things is that the costs are so astronomical that if you offer something like that for 200K, you’ll definitely be making a huge loss on each car no matter how many you sell. (I also use Q15 for many things on most of my vehicles but the proposed arrangement I have running is rather different and takes liberties based on other programs and sponsorships the company is involved in).
You would have loved the recent Bathurst 1000, I missed it but the race was so full of unexpected drama and cliffhangers and the ultimate twist right at the end that commentators immediately called it the best Bathurst 1000 ever in the history of V8 Supercars. Who knows, maybe Ford might even decide to stay in the series as a result of that race.
Though it was before my time, I wasn’t a huge fan of when they decided to make it Australian marques only for like two decades because Holden and Ford (and just about everybody else around the world) was getting destroyed by the Skyline E-BNR32 and its RB26DETT, so for a long time I didn’t bother watching it, but with the recent trends in FIA regulations on F1, I’m slowly coming back: by world standards the rules are very permissive and there’s a good chance of a righteous bangup, besides, I’m curious to see how Volvo gets on. My favourite moment from this year is probably this one, gets me every time (and the radio message at the end, classic).

Now that is what F1 is missing. Wet weather, drifting around corners, and no life threatening crashes.
Jakgoe. I did start off with larger exhausts, but as i went on i wasnt happy with them and how they looked, so they shrunk. Plus it makes a change to have smaller exhausts, normally all i see on here is larger ones. Nice to have a change.
I dunno about that last bit, at the least the Mountain has killed quite a few people! Though not so much as of late… the Bianchi crash actually shocked me, especially when I heard he’d run into a tractor!
Ain’t gonna steal my Echos’ thunder yet, but youve got some potential. Way to damn expensive though. I’d estimate a good price for that in $70 to $80k range.
With this car, you will find there are 0 quality slideres used, either positively, or negatively. I did take on some of your comments while designing this car. The engine is infact a tuned down DPE-408H which created a DPE-407H.
This is the first car designed by Dalora to be comfortable, luxurious and unique. The Luxuria comes equipped with Hand Crafted Leather seating, Walnut wood trim power steering, ABS, TC, ES and LC as standard.
The Nadeon is built to be reasonably light, fast and reliable. Powered by the all new DPE-446H powerplant built specially for the Nadeon. the 446H is an NA V8 with 601hp, 536Nm Torque. The engine is purely built to be reliable. with an average reliablity of 75.3.
Hey all so i have let my gf play around with the game and helped her design 1 or 2 cars, now she would like you guys to share you opinions on her own designed car.
The wolf is powered by a 4.8l (4756cc) engine throwing out 1203bhp and 1199Nm of Torque to all 4 wheels, through a 5 gear double clutch sequential gearbox. Tops Speed: 198.7
Track times:
Tulsa Drag Strip: 8.72
Airfield: 1:15.74
Test Track: 2:12.53
Green Hell: 7:24.71
Please Note:
A:) This car may be modified at any point
B:) The Engine is still under work
C:) The car is set up for a drag strip
D:) Apologies for any infringement on the use of certain aspects from other companies, Namely the badge of Necronia Automotive
It seems to be fast enough, hard to tell anything more if you don’t post more stats though. Well … front door handle is bugging me a bit, it’s too low .
I like your girlfriend’s taste in engineering. 1200hp out of a 4.8l turbo lol. Love that it’s so bloody fast without blowing out the fuel eco as extreme turbo boost tends to do right now. It must also have some decently balanced dynamics to handle the tracks in those times.
Only drawbacks are a presumed lack of ventilation and the relatively high costs for what it gets. I’m presuming it has high quality sliders everywhere?

Its does need some more Ventilation, currently only 788.1 kj/s ( add in the 112.6 kj/s allocated to the brakes) for an engine which needs 1901.9 kj/s
I did give her a slight hand in the engine department, but she did like 90% of it. Heck her fuel mixture is set to 14.7:1 and an ignition timing of 69…
Strop beware you may have a challenger for the most over the top crazy powered designs
I will update the engine pic shortly as well
