An adaptation of my CW5 entry, with the model/trim/family/variant years all set to 1982, and less techpool cheese everywhere.
It’s what I had originally wanted the LS50 to be, but couldn’t, due to cost concerns. In particular, it has a proper luxury interior and stereo instead of a mere premium one, and even comes with a flat floor for better aero. And yes, it costs exactly $35k after taxes, but Bruno will think it’s money well spent.
Cane & Whip Merchant, eh? Well then…
slightly snarky comment directed at no one in particular - please try to remember to tag both me and HappyFireBallMan in your DMs. it’s not a dealbreaker if you forget - we all make mistakes - but it just saves me a little bit of mental effort makes for less likelihood of missing something important.
and, as always, may the best entrant win
Sorry. That was my fault lol.
directed at no one in particular lmao

It embodies the previous Novalina’s strengths - power (I assume) and looks (I see) - while addressing at least one of its weaknesses - smoothness - and hopefully the others, starting with the transmission. Had Magda’s priorities been limited to looks, speed, comfort, and realism, Belintino would’ve done much better; it hit those squarely. Its downfall was mostly for missing sportiness and economy.
No need to “sip” fuel since economy isn’t too important in this challenge. Also, I assume Bruno will be pushing the car’s limits in short stints rather than doing long stretches of 100+mph cruising like on the Autobahn, so keeping the gearing relatively short to achieve the maximum possible acceleration and top speed will be the way to go, instead of giving it lots of overdrive for “Laufkultur”.
Mori 20
its not the same as Mori 15, 15 uses V6 engine, 20 uses B6 engine, with 2.5L instead of 2.0L, and some newer things, like safety and air suspension
That’s a very new-fangled piece of technology for 1982 - I’m surprised someone managed to fit it into their budget.
its normal, japan has a lot of car inventions, like first car with gps
also 30k in 80s is as expensive as today ferrari
Primus RT320 SC-T targa J-Spec
Konnichiwa!
We all know what the young Japanese yuppie wants - the fastest and rarest car.
For less than $ 30.000, the RT320 SC-T features a biturbo engine as well as a fancy cassette player. Yes, we know that it is a 1970s car, but after last year`s facelift, the RT320 drives better than ever.
Despite the targa roof and leather interior, you should not consider this car if you already have back problems - but we aim at young guys with this JDM spec variant, so… that will work, we guess.
The 1982 Arima Navesta RT can be simply described as ‘brute force’
It uses an experimental first generation 3.5l twin turbocharged V8 pushing 470hp to the rear wheels while still being controllable and easy to drive.
The Navesta RT will ensure you a purely exciting driving experience for $33,400.
Finally, something with even more power than my entry! By the way, is it rear-drive or AWD? Especially when sending 470 bhp to the rear wheels in 1982 was the height of lunacy back then.
