Good pick up there. But that was more so if someone accidentally sent in a car with the trim year of 1967 or something. If it’s obviously intentionally exploiting the system then I’ll disqualify it.
Just over one day left to submit entries!
Dear sir,
Please feel free for a ride in our 66 version of our small convertible sports car, with a new Straight 6 2.5L engine.
It’s slightly more expensive than our 2.0L L6 model, but we believe that it has a superior performance that you would like to have in the twisty and open roads. Also in town you can drive it around with the comfort of a hydraulic assisted steering.
Here’s our lame brochure!
Best Regards,
Do you wish for an exotic sports car, yet your budget only extends to a ‘warm’ sedan?
Do you like to enjoy a spirited drive, yet don’t want to sacrifice too much comfort?
Do you like the feel of the wind in your hair, but still think that safety in a vehicle is important?
Have you been looking for the right car to satisfy all of these criteria? Well look no longer!

that brochure is… something else…
Thanks to all those who’ve entered, submissions are now closed.
The first round of judging is Style, made up of 5 segments being Looks, Era consistency, Stylistic consistency, Functionality and Detail.
Results will be presented shortly.
Round one results are up! I’ve decided to edit them into the main post to keep things clean. Go have a read!
Awesome
Pretty much agree with your judging on all the cars so far! Interested to see how they compare in the next stage.
I agree mosly with what is written, tho some disagreement on the nebula as it was inspired a lot by the Ford GT40, Lamborghini Miura and the De Tomaso Mangusta, which all are made in and around 68, and are similar in looks to the Nebula… I agree that the wing is a bit over the top tho
The under grille vents were meant to be similar to this little happy boy, clearly didn’t nail it quite right!
great start for the Katana.
me likey
I see quite a lot of mangusta in it now. I was initially comparing it to a Pantera and a Countach (cause of the wing). Even so, I wouldn’t consider the mangusta to be mid 60s design, far more of an early 70s look. And as for the Muira, I can’t really see much of that. Great looking build though!
Ah yeah, I just think that they didn’t work very well with your grille shape and where you put them. They just kinda looked tacked on.
3rd place on styling, wow! I will admit that the redlines and rear striping was probably against my better judgement xD
now to completely lose my lead in the BeamNG testing because Giovanni crashes and dies
Giovanni will certainly be updating his life insurance policy to include exotic car test drives.
just ve cautious when simoutaneously slowing down and turning…
it has a mild tendency of oversteer at this point
Countach was the inspiration when going for the wing, actually, so that’s not a bad comparison at all
Before judging round two, we should familiarise ourselves with what lies under the bonnet of each of the contenders, to give a vaugue idea of what they’re like to drive.
Spec declassification coming soon…
EDIT:
The full spec declassification is up! Go and check out the specs of the competition in the main post
