2026 HONGHU RELENTLESS SERIES
HONGHU RELENTLESS 8
I guess bro…
One day after going through a lot of the CSR 167 entries, I got inspired to get moving on revamping a lot of my Chinese car lineup. Unfortunately, the MHero bug bit and the Relentless 8 ended up being the first in line…
This thing is stupid man. There was even a point where I wanted to make this thing into a coupe SUV. Thankfully, there were no bodies nor roofs that would have that a plausible reality without putting too much time into it. After all, I think this car took roughly 2-3 hours solely for the exterior.
I’ve seen the kind of stuff some people have been making these days. Really really good stuff. Super smart ways to push the game to its limits, just perhaps a bit too much time invested for myself to do. Definitely nothing wrong with putting in the hard work though. This game’s skill ceiling has raised significantly in the last 5 years and the concepts of then are slightly less relevant these days.
On closeups you can see the roughness of some of these edges, as well as the fact that this car basically has no underbody nor chassis. At least to me, it’s the general idea that matters anyways so I don’t mind as much. I make these for my own enjoyment after all.
Anyways, I digress. Stats! By the end of all the tuning and everything from a good friend @DoctorNarfy, we got this thing to about 7100 lbs with.. some degree of horsepower. Enough to bring it around the Nurburgring GP circuit in roughly 2:27:00 on some not so realistic tires. Mind you, this is only a second off from the Honghu Beifeng Heilong.
It also crabwalks.
Shoutout @DoctorNarfy for his efforts in the interior too. I usually find this step time-consuming at the moment but maybe I should take some time to practice and get good myself.
Gaudiness was the goal. Lots of rosewood, some gold garnish, some quilted leather.
As always, this is inspired by Hongqi, although somehow these guys manage to keep on outdoing themselves with whatever is going on in the 2nd image. Da Joka.
Lol.
Don’t ask us, the Chinese did it first. You really can’t make this shit up.
The rear compartment? Yeah that’s where the drone is stored. Think this is an original idea?
I can’t keep doing this man.
