I know the '94 Koenigsegg-like body set (on which the Gloria is based) still has an unusually short engine bay even in 4.3 - but I was able to squeeze the 4.0L V12 engine I used for the LS60 Spyder into a test mule based on it.
Anyway, the Gloria is, in a word, glorious - but I bet it’s not running a V10 or V12 of any description; a twin-turbo V8 would be more likely.

Making out of the world race cars since the very beginning, Vengen is happy to finally reveal their racecar for this decade; The Apollo 12. Made in collaboration with Vector Motor Group, this sleek hypercar powered by a Twin-Turbo V6 can reach speeds upwards of 350 km/h and also able to reach 0-100 km/h in under 2.5 seconds. It’s also well capable of blistering fast times around the automation test track without sacrificing any daily driving niceties.
Stay tuned for the racecar and more!
would have been nice to know this before I decided to stay up until 4am to finish it, but this gives me a chance to fix the rushed engineering so I’m not complaining
Made for fun, I have no doubt this will either be binned or completely fail at being fast. or apparently roll over if the weight changes by even a few kgs.
Although it’s based on the Pagani Zonda (which is one of your favorite cars - and mine too!), the basic body shape makes me suspect it’s based on one of the '98 Stradale body sets, most likely the 2.64m wheelbase variant - the exact same one I used as the basis for the '95 LVC LS60 and '05 AMS Archangel. However, by combining some of the Zonda’s styling features with those from other supercars (such as the McLaren F1’s roof-mounted intake and the Ferrari F50’s basket handle rear wing on the road car), you have created a real work of art. My only problem with the Stradale body sets is that they are quite wide (2.0m for the intermediate-sized version), but then again, many other MR supercar body sets from the 90s are of similar width.
It’s actually the outrun00’s body, the 2.6m version, with extensive rear 3d work.
It does draw many inspirations from the Pagani Zonda and I wish I could’ve done it better. There is unfortunately just no body close enough to do it justice.
The '98 Stradale, with its wedge-shaped profile, actually seemed like a closer match for the basis of a Zonda replica, until I realized that the '95 Outrun, with its even more curvaceous shape (especially in mid-engined form) may well have been even better suited to what you were aiming for (as well as being slightly narrower to boot) - hence the fact that you chose it over the Stradale.
Also, upon closer inspection, the R599/R650 has a vague resemblance to the Rome Racer line of cars (Works R170 ST, R190 DX, and R202 GT) from Burnout Revenge - the main difference is that your car has Zonda-like headlights and a roof scoop as standard, whereas the R202 GT is the only Rome Racer with either (or both) of those features.
yeah, sorry, this was really last minute solely from other entrants that were in the middle of making their cars and posts as the timer went over the old deadline. i wanted as big of a net as possible for the other entrants to finalize and still be fair to those who had already managed their time wisely. i think roborace ate into some of the visibility of this challenge since i originally set the deadlines for rules & entries not to compete with them, but that was before they completely upended their old deadlines as well.
The epitome of power and design, featuring a racing engine bigger and more powerful than its racing counterpart. Is there anything else to say about that?

The Race version not only embodies the spirit of racing but also redefines it. With a purpose-built chassis and aerodynamic enhancements, this version aims to dominate the race track with unprecedented efficiency and style.

Is that really a V6? If so, it would run really rough (especially if it also had a 90-degree bank angle), even with balancer shafts and a lot of extra balancing mass - the lack of cylinders (and hence prestige) won’t help, although it helps save some weight. In any case, the GLV reminds me of the Jaguar XJ220 (as does its elliptical headlights and basic shape, although it appears to be based on one of the '95 Super Wedge body sets), and I remember that it took a McLaren F1 (an even more expensive and exclusive machine) to overtake the Jag on the all-time road car top speed list.

Good luck!
still working on this, but it’s gonna take a while since my ram has died completely. i don’t have estimates for when everything’s all done & dusted but i am still working on getting this finished and looking pretty.
don’t worry! i haven’t forgotten about this, my computer is just still out of commission… the scores have been tallied, i’ve just got a lot of writing and picture taking to do, the latter of which i can’t do right now without a little help.
Please excuse me for being that guy, but it’s been almost two months since we got an update on this challenge.
With that in mind, has this challenge been abandoned, or is it merely on hiatus?
still no working pc, believe it or not. but i’ve finally been able to get the broken parts sent back for RMA. if all goes well, expect a final update in two or so weeks.
now this is epic
