Dimension Motors - Back in Business!

So my okuma is basically a Paradox 5 XY that came a decade later with more power, no interior but barely less weight and a lot less comfort.

Yep this thing is impressive.

Can’t get enough of those taillights, it looks stunning. And crikey the XY trim is fast, it could outrun an F430!

If it couldn’t, it would be a real disservice to it’s obvious IRL inspiration :smile:

##2018 Dimension Hypero AGT-3R Prototype

You’ve seen the Hypero AGT-R concept and heard of it’s claims, but with Dimension planning to enter the GT3 championship, the team decided to showcase the platform’s capability. With an all carbon chassis from the GT3 race car fitted with the standard engine with a cam tune and some cheaty bits, the car became more than just a show piece.

I know where the top speed went!
… could it drive on a ceiling at top speed?

Appealing idea, but that would need more downforce than weight, and I doubt that is achievable in Automation :slight_smile: Or, hmm, downforce is calculated at 200 km/h, we don’t really know what is it at nearly 300…

It does over 200 MPH :smile: I just made it that way to signify the car has never been top speed tested.

@sillyworld About that, will there be an AMWEC this year?

@squidhead cc @DeusExMackia @Oskiinus
I think it won’t be, I waited so long that now is unfeasible, the challenge is pretty long (around 15 weeks) and with the unreal update in the middle, I don’t want to ended up with balancing/missing mods issues, specially because I want to implement a retuning phase every 3 races. So the next season will be post-poned until the next update (when we’ll have v10s yeey).

Come on, just do AMWEC just when UE4 pulls out! I’m angry for making something that would have more chances against strop and squidhead

@Sillyworld That’s fair enough, but Unreal still won’t be for a while. Other thing is, surely it’ll be possible to keep a copy of the old game (add it to steam again and tell it that its a different program) and you’d be able to run it via that?

@Deskyx Woh…

Amazing. And to think that would be racing in a GT3 category? Mate, that qualifies for GTE Pro easily!

:sob: I still don’t fucking understand how you could get a car so fast with less power, not that much less weight and two less driven wheels! It’s literally 150 milliseconds away from the Laguna Seca time of the Piranha. Tyres can’t account for all of that…

wait a second… I know for a fact that the Piranha has an equally insane, non-road legal suspension setup… and it’s as fast as this car… could that qualify straight out the box for GT3/GTE Pro/whatever? :confused:


Anyway, back to the car, yeah, I told you already Deskyx, this car is :ok_hand:. Wouldn’t expect anything lesser from you.

Potentially, but there are rules about Gt3/GTE around production numbers. Not gonna get very far with a ‘Not Street Legal’ car :stuck_out_tongue:

It shares a lot in common with this awesome AGT3-R - full carbon setup, aggressive suspension setup, tons of downforce, semislick, high-displacement N/A V12, etc etc

Only difference I see is that the Piranha has a DCT

Oh but its based off a road car

Ooh Scarlet watch ouuut :wink:

Blast from the past

After what squidhead pointed out to me, I’ve planned for there to be a road car version of the Piranha too :imp:

@Deskyx Too right! Going to have to go for a different tactic to beat that in AMWEC :wink:

I’d do what you did last year. Have a whole season done in one version and just release it over coming weeks.

I’m remaking the 2012 Dimension Paradox 6. I feel like my new styles would significantly improve the car and suit the car’s evolution much better.


##2012 Dimension Paradox 6 (CZO22)

The sixth generation Paradox debuts in 2012, and this time, it’s actually a half decent sports car in every regard. Interior has been significantly updated to match the level of it’s competitors, and the suspension was sport driving ready even in stock form. It soon found itself in the hands of our most loyal Paradox buyers, middle aged country club goers with no intention of tracking the car or going beyond 30 mph. Remember, it’s a nice car gramps, but it ain’t making you younger.
