I know it’s a bit early but hear me out…
I think that when the car designing is done or partly done there could be an option where you could buy engines from other company’s, because designing and producing engines is very costly for budding car company’s and it could help if you can buy pre-made engines and tune them if the buyer has the money to. This feature would be similar to the proposed gear box feature.
When I thought about this I just had to post this.
