Hello everyone!
In Forco we have a tradition of quality and design for everyone so we try to do our best in developing well-enginered, safe and economic beatiful cars.
Since our foundation in 1955 our fate was determined to be the greatest car manufacturer of the country (a hypothetical U.S., based on its culture and industry).
From economic hatches to great luxury saloons, we have thought in each single detail, making always the perfect combination.
Powerful V8s from the 60s-70s led to downsized V6s (with pioneering electronic injection) in the 80s due to fuel restrictions and legislations. Again restored in the 90s, new V8s were built with all the experience of half a century. Our economic cars have been built with highly reliable economic engines and have proven the quality and safety that our brand guarantees.
We have re-designed and re-built the whole range of cars and now we can show you 10 of our cars!
[size=150]1979 Forco Charade[/size]
3-door hatchback
The Charade was the first real economical hatchback ever done by Forco. It has a longitudinal engine, rear wheel drive and 4 gears. The available engines were a 1.3 L Range up to a Sport variant of the 2.4i LX Range in 1981. Due to the massive roadkills (In 1982 the 29% of the fatal crashes were in a Charade Sport) the 2.4RS was discontinued. After all, the standard 1.8 and the basic 1.3 were well sold (almost 980.000 units in 79-83), but the car was “to ugly for the 80s” and was facelifted in 1983.
Models:
-1.3 Basic (1.3L, I4, L Range, 67cv, 1979)____________4.199 USD

[size=150]1983 Forco Charade II[/size]
3-door hatchback
Not a new model at all, the Charade II faced the change in Forco with the LX Range (Leaded Petrol engines) to the cleaner and economical UX Range (Unleaded Petrol engines). The interior was rebuilt, with softer materials and more quality. The configuration was the same than the '79 Charade. The sales were slowly going down as the car, in 1987, was discontinued, having being sold 670.800 Charade II.
Models:

-2.4i S (2.4L, I4, UX Range, 144cv, 1985)___________6.300 USD
[size=150]1986 Forco Drexler[/size]
3-door Sport hatchback
He refused to it, but Forco used the name of their Chief Designer William Drexler on the smallest sportscar of the company. Drexler entirely designed the car and two of the engines this sportscar would fit. Pop-up lights, white leather interior and rear wheel drive, seems to be the sportscar of the eighties. In 1987 the cabrio version and the 4.0V8 TwinTurbo 4WD were unveiled. The original version mounts the all-purpose 2.4i as standard, and a 2.8i straight six, designed only for the Drexler. Other engines were added, the 3.2 V6 was standard and the 3.6 V6 turbo in 1988, it was still a fenomenal success and a great car, but the 90s appeared and nobody liked it anymore.
Models:
-2.4i E (2.4L, I4, UX Range, 144cv, 1986)______________9.700 USD
-2.8i S (2.8L, I6, UX Range, 201cv, 1986)______________10.790 USD
-4.0V8 4WD (4.0L, V8, UX TwinTurbo, 322cv, 1987)__________15.450 USD
-3.2i E (3.2L, V6, UX Range, ???cv, 1988)_______________10.250 USD
-3.6i S (3.6L, V6, UX Range, ???cv, 1988)_______________11.650 USD
[size=150]1987 Forco Fox[/size]
5-door hatchback
The Fox was a good bet for those who wanted a FWD 5 door Charade and it worked! It came when the 1983 Charade was discontinued and the competitors were outdated with their 5-door models, so a foreign body and chassis was fitted with the same engines than the Charade and the Fox came out. In 1988 a 4WD version arrived, nonsense about why a hatchback should have 4WD but it was sold to farmers (those who couldn’t afford a real 4x4) in huge numbers. It wasn’t the prettiest car in the world and in 1994, Forco developed their own platform and the Fox was rebuilt.
Models:
-1.2i Basic (1.2L, I4, UX Range, 60cv, 1987)____________5.099 USD
-1.6i E (1.6L, I4, UX Range, 80cv, 1987)____________5.850 USD
-1.8i 4WD (1.8L, I4, UX Range, 86cv, 1988)____________7.850 USD
-2.0i S (2.0L, I4, X Range, 133cv, 1990)____________8.200 USD
[size=150]1989 Forco Dynasty[/size]
2-door mid-sized coupé
The new X Range engines of the 90s had their baptism of fire in the Dynasty. Only the 4.0V8 Twin Turbo of the Drexler was from the previous range engine. The Dynasty, with the all-new interior, body and electronics, sums up as a technologic and artistic masterpiece. The mid-sized coupé of Forco was eclipsed by the competitors and didn’t sell well, being discontinued in 1994.
Models:
-3.0i E (3.0L, V6, X Range, ???cv, 1989)______________20.600 USD
-3.6i S (3.6L, V6, X Range, ???cv, 1989)______________23.790 USD
-3.6i ST (3.6L, V6, XT Range, ???cv, 1989)_____________26.790 USD
-4.0i V8 (4.0L, V8, UX TwinTurbo, 322cv, 1989)_________29.450 USD
[size=150]1990 Forco Charade III[/size]
3-door hatchback
The expectation created around the new Charade was espectacular. The all-new Forco’s little car was built in a sporty body, forward wheel drive and transversal configuration. The Charade III was powered by the new X Range eco engines, and the S version had the 2.0i X, such a decent 0-100km/h of less 10s! It was Car of the Year in 1990 and Car of the World in 1991, it was exported to a lot of countries and were sold 1.300.000 units in 90-95.
Models:
-1.3i Basic (1.3L, I4, X Range, 83cv, 1990)____________7.099 USD
-1.6i E (1.6L, I4, X Range, 100cv, 1990)___________7.850 USD
-2.0i S (2.0L, I4, X Range, 132cv, 1990)___________9.100 USD
[size=150]1994 Forco Fox II[/size]
5-door hatchback
The Forco’s new platform derived from the Charade III was used for modernize the Fox, it wasn’t a big deal, the new Fox equiped the same engines than the Charade III, but the equation worked again. The old Fox was imported, now the new one was exported as the Charade III. The superior quality of the Fox II made the difference with the competitors and was, again, an epic success.
Models:
-1.3i Basic (1.3L, I4, X Range, 83cv, 1994)____________7.999 USD
-1.6i E (1.6L, I4, X Range, 100cv, 1994)___________8.850 USD
-2.0i S (2.0L, I4, X Range, 132cv, 1994)___________10.300 USD
[size=150]1994 Forco Medallion II[/size]
4-door mid-sized saloon
The succesor of the 1988 Medallion had all-new electronics, a lot of safety measures as standard (such as ABS and the AIRBAG), it was comfortable and spacious. The market for mid-sized saloons in the early 90s was crowded, so the Forco had to make the difference. The Medallion II made it, but the sales were average, so, in 1995, the chairmans decided to put some pepper in the recipe and the 2.0i I6 TURBO “SuperSport” was added. The variant S was a 3.2 V6 X Range and the standard was the 2.0i X Range, so the “SuperSport” was a little bit unnecessary, but it was fun.
Models:
-2.0i E (2.0L, I4, X Range, 132cv, 1994)___________17.400 USD
-3.2i S (3.2L, V6, X Range, ???cv, 1994)___________19.700 USD
-2.0i SuperSport (2.0L, I6, XT Range, 212cv, 1995)___________20.250 USD
[size=150]1996 Forco Drexler II[/size]
2-door Sports Coupé
The new Drexler wasn’t designed by Drexler itself, but the name was continued due to the fame. Now Forco wanted the sportscar of the 90s. Things were a little weird when they decided to fit a 4.5 V8 in a body of 1000kg. It didn’t exploded, instead it was rated as the first lightweight Supercar. Forco made history but only sold 3500 Drexler II, maybe for the price, 35.800 USD.
Models:
-4.5i V8 (4.5L, V8, X Range, 300cv, 1996)___________35.800 USD
[size=150]1996 Forco VanStar[/size]
5-door Multi Purpose Vehicle
Forco’s Multi Purpose Vehicles or MPVs started in the late 70s and they were growing sales since then, the new bet for MPV in the 90s is the VanStar, with rear wheel drive and total wheel drive configurations, 2+3+2 seats and a big boot.
Models:
-2.0i E (2.0L, I4, X Range, 132cv, 1996)___________17.400 USD
-2.0i 4WD (2.0L, I4, X Range, 132cv, 1996)___________17.400 USD
I´m preparing an engine showroom too, coming soon!
Thats all for the moment… I’ll keep doing cars, and waiting new updates!
Cheers!
but these are the main ranges that I have planned:
I want to focus in 60s to 90s cars, 80s cars mostly (because I love them) but maybe I can drop some concepts!
