2017 Dimension Entropy FM
When your 1000 horsepower hypercar is in need of an upgrade to stay competitive, you know they’ve got some serious hardware in their hands. Well TBH even without them people would still ask for a more powerful and expensive version of the Entropy.
The Japanese have their death gods, and so do the Americans. The FM officially stands for ForMula, but really its common knowledge that it stands for Fat Man as in the atom bomb. Yeah abit tasteless especially since the last one was named after a Japanese deity and this one is yeah you get it. Exterior wise not much has changed other than a few bits being unpainted carbon and the car being made exclusively in a matte olive finish to fit with the military theme.
Chassis remains essentially the same. Brakes remain vented discs on all fours because carbon ceramics have proven to provide minimal performance gains at such a high cost. The tires for this car are what makes the machine, being essentially racing slicks (+15 quality) with grooves cut into them and being just street legal, once more made by Toyo. 385 rear and 295 front as the car’s very rear heavy weight distro necessitates a stagger. Costs more than the engine itself.
Interior has been lightened and stripped to expose more carbon fiber, only leather parts that remain are the seats. The center console is now made out of Lexan, and the radio is removed. Displays are now fighter jet inspired and there’s a little ball where the radio was that acts as some sort of G meter. (IDK what they’re called specifically). Aerodynamics have been improved to produce even more downforce, which limits top speed to just 360 km/h, some 40 km/h down on its competitors.
Yanked out of a 90s GT1 project that never got anywhere and previously tried on the Zentorno (ye styling is 100% inspired by that thing so IDK what else to call it) concept (which was considered for the 2017 Hypercar shootout but it ended up too heavy and expensive, I’ll show you guys anyway soon.) the RM55DITT is a 60 valve 5.5 liter DOHC twin turbocharged V12, made out of two HA28EI V6 motors used in sedans back in the 90s welded together and retrofitted with direct injection and magnesium construction. Running on 100 octane fuel (though the ECU can adjust itself to run on lower quality fuels on the fly, not that it matters too much, I only used 100 octane for economy concerns), it produces 1131 horsepower at 7200 RPM and around 1400 NM of torque at 4000 RPM and a redline of 9000 RPM driving the rear wheels with a slightly upgraded 7 speed manual box found in the Izanami.
The car does the Nurburgring at just over 6 minutes 40 seconds, during testing with a completely bare bones interior and 285 fronts the car was a second quicker however we decided against it. Finally it is competitive with the likes of the Eau Rouge.
1:52 on the Automation test track.
2 and a half seconds quicker in Laguna Seca
1.3 seconds quicker in Tsukuba
1:06.50 on the Airfield
And 1 second away from the current Suzuka lap holder (which did a flying lap) from a standing start.
Package is an additional 150K for Izanami owners only and a production run of 15 models made from spare prototypes and maintenance training vehicles.
@szafirowy01 Don’t hesitate when building hypercars. That’s exactly why the original Izanami failed to compete. Also use RWD, tires and high downforce for higher skidpad values (at least in my experience).
And impressive stats, especially those cornering figures I don’t either understand or get near in my cars.
