Shhhhhh, it’s Dieselgate 90’s style

Edit: Maybe this is closer? I don’t know, I have very limited knowledge with diesel motors

just came across this thread, might as well share my silly funnies

the Epoch Galvan, RX (right) and RoadSpec (left)

in the funny Epoch lore the RX was created for a rally championship and people liked it so much that they requested the Galvan be made into a production car so they made the RoadSpec

funny closeups

oh and also there’s this thing i made a couple days ago as a joke

here’s all three of the .car files

1988-95 STRENUS SYLPHIDE HT-4

If the regular Sylphide wasn’t the most exciting car, the same could not be said about the top of the line version, the rally homologation special called the HT-4.


To start with, the engine of the HT-4 was enlarged to 2 litres, and given a turbocharger. The power output now was 219 hp in the street version.


Instead of the front wheel drive in the regular model, it now featured a helical all wheel drive system, slightly biased to the rear. Also, helical differentials in the axles. It accelerated from 0 to 100 in 4.9 seconds and had a top speed of almost 260 km/h.


Spoilers front and rear, flared arches, twin round headlamps, a hood scoop and a more aggressive front end styling was things that told you there was a HT-4 from the outside.


The HT-4 was only available in four colours. Black, white, bright red or as shown here, Belgian competition yellow.


The inside wasn’t left untouched either. There was of course a boost gauge, as well as a perforated leather steering wheel, and sports seats up front with perforated leather upholstery.

As a limited production version quite different from the regular model, the HT-4 enjoys status as a modern classic today.
