How come the triple makes more power than the four? Wouldn’t it be better to make a more powerful version of the I4 instead?
April 2017.
Empire releases the real deal, the Panther.
Swoosh, 5500 cc Turbocharged V8, 606 hp, and 9.3 L/100km.
1.54 tons and its aerodynamic body combined to its power can speed it up to 270 km/h.
It achieves 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds and a mile standing in 20.9 seconds.
It’s retail price is 48000 Eu.
Dude, your company is making like three new models a year…

That’s why you don’t start your company in 2015 and then figure out you can only cover 2 years with it, and can’t explain where the money and time for developing for 5-10 different models and engines comes from.

@EmpireAutomotive Following on from what Ram and Igor have mentioned, I’d reccomend developing some company lore/backstory. All the best companies on the forum have them, and it certainly doesn’t need to be complicated to be interesting. Then, from that, start developing your cars. The story behind them is just as important as the design and engineering, imo.
Some tips to get you started:
- Who founded the company, and why?
- Where is the company based? How does it fit in to the local automotive industry?
- What types of car does the company produce? What customer is it targeting?
- How big is the company?
With regard to individual models:
- What was the motive behind making a certain car? To expand into a new market? As a research project? To change the image of the company?
- What engineering innovations occurred during the development of the car? Did it introduce your company to a new way of making cars? Did it pioneer the usage of certain building techniques, technologies, materials etc?
- Who styled the car? What was the influence?
- What are its strengths and weaknesses? How does it perform?
Another tip, and sorry for being a bit patronising here: cars take a long time to develop, especially nowadays. Most companies here reflect real life companies in that design cycles last a good 6 to 8 years, more if the car is a high end supercar or specialist vehicle.
Best way to be realistic is to plan out your company’s model range over time. When was a certain model introduced and replaced, how long a certain marque lasts for (eg number of generations) etc.
(I speak from experience here in that I spend waaaaaay too long on this kind of stuff)

Lol thanks but I probably won’t, as:
-I’m lazy and fat
- Im just here to share designs, even engines don’t really matter
-I’m not aiming to become the “best” company of the forum
As I said, I don’t care about the company, i’m just here to share designs, I have no goal to respect the real companies what so ever
://// You do get that I dont aim to be realistic but just share my “works” right?
Yeah, but it won’t interest as many people as you think it might if each car is just a car, no real backstory to it.
