Greetings and welcome! I am PokerMorda, the main CEO of Jiorani Motors.
The story of my company is not that interesting, or epic as the others. It was just a dream, of Polish Buisnessman who always dreamt of producing cars. After getting some money, and interested co-workers, he started to work, and everything went so fine, that their first car was developed - and what cars are more interesting to build community on, then supercars?
Here is debut car, Jiorani J-Grip. It’s really powerful supercar, which is pretty well capable of fight with rivals from Ferrari or Lamborghini. J-Grip is equiped with 632 HP V8 Engine, and weights only about 997 kg, which gives really interesting base for powerful car. But it’s not just about Power - J- Grip suspension is set to give best behaviour on curves, and can put out even 1,5 G on curves! But even though, it may be demon in curves, it is really easy to handle, so even novice drivers will be able to experience power of J-Grip. Add really great acceleration, and you will get powerful car, ready for driving on track.
Of course, I know that some of you may not believe my entusiasthic word about performance of the car, so here are screenshots with basic stats - unfortunately, due to works on more powerful version of car, I overwrited previous engine, so these are the only proofs to my words…
I like it, Mr Pokerface. It’s so dynamic-looking, and more real than an Arrinera. Though, it’s too expensive to produce, I believe, considering there are also tooling costs, etc. that are to be taken into account (and that due to the low production volume of the car, would not really be spread), and that its the company’s first car (meaning the company is not yet ahead of the standard in the technology field, which could make all that quality cheaper. Then again, one could argue that “Polak potrafi” which already puts the technology ahead of the rest). Try to knock down on quality sliders.
So, first responces on J-Grip where really interesting! They were so interesting, that I sitted up to Automation again, and made few more cars…
So, first one to show you is J-Grip Hyperius - Prototype of Radical version of J-Grip, designed for racetracks. This one is really hard to keep on the track, specially for beginners, but if you will try, you will get one of the best cars for track racing. Engine is powered version of engine from basic J-Grip with V8 Flatplane, equiped with Twin Turbo system. That gives us engine with 767 HP. With weight below 1000 kg, that gives us car with great acceleration - and really good maximum speed.
The second car, is much more interesting - mainly because it brings new engine, with amazingly big horsepower. Jiorani G-Grip is bigger than J-Grip, not only thanks to size, but also, thanks to engine - 6.5 l. V8 Flatplane with Twin Turbo. This engine gives total power of 1627 HP. Sounds great, isnt it? Unfortunately, it’s not only bigger than J-Grip - It’s also way heavier. Total Weight is about 1362 kg, which still isnt that bad result - specially that car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,4 seconds, and will accelerate rapidly until it will hit maximum speed of 415 km/h. If you’ll meet in on road - be careful.
These look crazy and wild! I see they’re also not short on power, either.
I see a bit of a problem with the Hyperius, it seems to have a reliability of 0. Is the engine not cooled enough? Also, that the front tyres are so much wider than the years I find unusual.
This could be a company that produces cars to compete with my own!
God man, you’re even good at making custom supercars. What are you not good at art-wise?
Seriously though, I love the vicious vibe I’m getting from your designs, it feels like they’re going to try and kill me, then kill all my family, then destroy the rest of the world. The one thing I can say is that I don’t really like the front of the Hyperius, in that it feels awkward.
Excellent designs and great potential. I agree that the hyperious is just … off. It’s like its front end is trying too hard. Aggressive and angry is fine, but don’t force it.
So, as you may judge, design is not really strong side of the car. BUT there is something inside… And it’s gigantic 10 liter V8 Flatpane with Twin Turbo, that produces over 1648 HorsePower! With weight of 1393 kg it gives us total, fast rocket that is able to accelerate to 100km/h in 2,1 sec and stops acceleration at 377 km/h. In fact, take a look.
Of course, such possibilites needed some major sacrifices. The biggest one is the fact, that it is really, really hard to take control over it on a track. Difficulty in Steering is equal to zero…
I find the turbo tech increasingly difficult to deal with due to its effect on drivability! I wonder what kind of track times you’re getting, both in current and beta release.
Yeah. But I guess Hyperius was made only for one purpose: SPEED! I think that’s more like experimental prototype vehicle than production one, however I agree that this fuel usage is extremely high.
But what is more interesting is the engine. If car seemed small, wait for it heart! It has only 0.8 liter of maximal capacity, and it is equiped with relativily big turbo (it’s propably the biggest thing in that car). The overall result seems really interesting. Engine gives us 262 BHP. As my good friend Oskiinus, calculated, it gives us about 325 BHP per liter. Downsizing at it’s finest!
Stats on the track seems even better! Car accelerates to 100 km/h in 3,7 sec, and stops accelerating at 206 km/h. On Airport track it got time of 1:21:73 sec. As we compared, Airborne Haiyan (which I aimed towards, as a rival) got time only 3 seconds better. I see that as quite not bad result, specially if we’ll take a look at the fact, that I t has nearly 2/3 of the Haiyan’s power.
Of course, it’s not perfect car. It has quite huge fuel usage, and it’s not really cheap. But I think, that if you buy car like that, your target is not to create eco cars. It’s about power and emotions. And if you want some easy emotions, it’s the cheapest way to achieve them into Jiorani.

I’d say in a compact MR track toy market you’re also competing with my Adelaide R and RS. Also at such boost, Im guessing it’s a gas guzzler and quite the pollution machine. I think the bigger engine and smaller turbos would make it more efficient. But anyways, the looks are pretty cool. Also the tire width could be your limiting factor for a faster lap time. All in all - nice one.
Ha! I will surprise you! When tires were wider, lap time was actually… worse! I managed to cut most of the seconds, by adjusting wheels to be thin enough.
Also, as you were asking about price, I would give it about 225,000 PLN (56250 euro), but Automation says (If I readed right) about 2 millions. Maybe that’s because of quality sliders I was adjusting too radically…
That’s very… affordable… Also yeah, quality sliders tend to get the prices out of control easily. About the tires… well it’s probably because of rolling resistance, the wider they are the harder for the small engine to push the car forward at higher speeds.
Also - if that engine graph is the final version, your engine is detonating severly. It might be a good idea to add fuel, decrease CR or de-boost the thing a bit. And your exhaust should be bigger to let the turbos breathe easier. I’m sure you can get better results with some tweaking there
All in all - nice one.
