[size=200]Designing The Future[/size]
[size=150]Deadline: Saturday 27th, 8AM GMT[/size]
The Premise:
The year is 2016, ABR is still a fledgling company in an ever-evolvong automotive world, and while the CEO is always certain of his decisions and designs, the board is not as steadfast in their beliefs and has ordered a competition to help the company in the right direction. As a company car is also one of the perks of being on the board the boardmembers would like a proper alternative for themselves. The result is this challenge to our fellow automotive brothers and sisters, to help design a new flagship for ABR and help us evolve in the right direction. A sidenote from the CEO mentions the board as rather incosistent and suggest you should prepare for a surprise just in case
Rules:
Since ABR has a tendency of forgetting them when there are more than three rules, this challenge only consist of two rules:
[ul]]Minimum 3 seats/:m]
]Market price below 125.000$ with 10% markup/:m][/ul]
(Breaking the rules, which is quite hard, will not disqualify you from the challenge, but most likely incur some penalties unless breaking them penalizes the submission heavily itself. High quality modpack accepted, beyond that I may need a link to the mod in order to download it if necessary)
Scoring system:
Once again, we will keep it rather simple as the CEO easily gets confused:
Very high importance (2 * value):
[ul]
]Drivability/:m]
]Sportiness/:m]
]Prestige/:m][/ul]
High importance(1,5 * value)
[ul]]Top speed/10/:m]
]120/acceleration/:m][/ul]
Normal importance (1 * value)
[ul]]Comfort/:m]
]Practicality/:m][/ul]
Low importance (0,5 * value)
[ul]]Utility/:m]
]Offroad/:m]
]Safety/:m][/ul]
Bonus points
Even though the CEO has been removed from the design chair he still wants to have a word in what ABR’s cars should look like. There will be an additional score between 0 to 50 possible purely based on his impression of the car. This should be low enough to not be essential but still an incentive to make something pretty.
Submissions
If it works don’t mess with it, so send me a pm with the exported car files. Naming format will be:
[ul]]Car model cell: DTF (forum username)/:m]
]Car trim cell: (car model name) (car trim name)/:m]
]Engine family cell: DTF (forum username)/:m]
]Engine variant cell: (engine name) (engine variant name)/:m][/ul]
I really love when people advertise or promote their cars, so please feel free to place ads or teasers of the cars you are submitting

Final comments:**
Yes, I know, DTF is a funny acronym, but it stays. I will do my best to keep this challenge as fair and unbiased as possible, and while the premise says I will use this car in ABR, all designs will of course remain your own unless you explicitly express otherwise. With a great turnout for the first challenge I hope to improve further on my experiences and improve yours. I have been irking quite a lot to do a multistage challenge, so going completely HAM might not be the best solution in the long run for this. Blurbs at least are incoming, most likely some reviews as well.
The best of luck to all participants!
So, the results:
