there’s a lot of low & mid tier supercars in the inspiration list, but what about the higher-end machines like the Bugatti EB110, Jaguar XJ220, Mclaren F1, Ferrari F50, etc.? is it okay to draw inspiration from those while meeting the rules & regulations or are they too high-ticket?

I don’t see why not; the 1990s saw the advent of many bespoke sports car makers in England whose limited-production models were more modest in performance than top-tier supercars, but looked just as outlandish. Just don’t mismatch design elements, e.g. by giving a car with a large all-steel body and full supercar styling a low-powered engine.
Bruno’s budget is generous, but not to the point where he could afford a LVC LS60 - although I wouldn’t be surprised if anyone submitted something that was almost as fast.
i don’t mean “build a supercar beyond the price limit”, i mean “draw visual inspiration from the highest caliber supercars of the era”
Inspirations are never meant to be “Build exactly this”, they’re meant to be more along the lines of “These are the sorts of cars I’m looking for”.
“Here at Nisemono, we don’t believe that performance should be held by just the well to do or those who think they can buy into it. This is not that car, this is a car for the everyman, to show that performance can be the marquee of the masses. The Nisemono Sukairain TS-R”

1995 FMW CR12
What happens when FMW’s CR motorsport division takes the 600 Class grand-touring coupé and sticks a 6.6 litre V12 from a hypercar under the bonnet? The answer is this, the brand-new CR12. In order to stay at the forefront of high-speed luxury touring, the CR12 implements state-of-the-art, previously unseen technologies, like active dampers and an electronically controled differential, to name a couple. Geared for the Autobahn, it’s able to reach an impressive 364 km/h, with a revised chassis and aerodynamics to keep it stable and planted at such speeds, while flared fenders allow for wider, stickier tyres.

Sadly, the Ultima was over budget even in the stripped-down Clubsport variant that sells for $ 55.700.
But Bruno has other options. What about the latest maccina from Italy, a Cavaliere Nobile Strato TTS evoluzione? Beautiful flipflop colors, finest leather and dedicated engineering? A design that is understated since you are a real signore, but it announces that this is an elaborate man with individual taste.
If you have a traffic jam on the autostrada, we would like you to know that this car has also been developed for twisty Italian contry roads.

sorry, no fancy advertisement or description this time, just car
okay a little backstory i suppose:
In 1970, Cornell Motors wanted to broaden the scope of its performance capabilities, and so Cornell Special Works was born. A small team of engineers and designers were given free reign to help set the Cornell marque on the top step of every podium they set their eyes on.
In 1993 they decided to aim for the pinnacle of closed-wheel racing: the Global GT1 Series, and so the CSW Stellarum was born. Centered around a rock-solid, dependable 6L iron block V12, the tight bodywork was aerodynamic and the internals were purpose-built. The sole weakness of their efforts? It was heavy - the race car came in at 1600 kg, and it only saw the podium at Le Mans for it’s impressive reliability.
The governing body of the GGT1 decided to curb the inflation of ridiculously-expensive experimental development by demanding an increasing number of street-legal cars be made through the years. In 1995 this ballooned from 250 to 2000. And so, the CSW Stellarum Langenschwanz was born. The weight problem was compounded by sound deadening, creature comforts and an AWD system, but some argue that it only made the ride more supple as the tires and rims, supplied from the same manufacturers as the motorsport edition, were bolstered to handle the weight.
And it payed off, too - it’s not the fastest of the bunch, topping out at a mere 211 MPH, but it still puts up an impressive showing against the competition in handling and acceleration records. The detuned, naturally aspirated engine makes about 650 horsepower, and the engine itself is built to take on more, so it’s entirely unstressed.
Throw it around the corners. Make the engine scream in a lower gear. You know you want to.

VAM 415sr
The 415sr is a top of the line sports coupe. A twin-turbo V6 is paired with massive tires and aggressive suspension tuning to offer good performance and handling, without allowing the weight to become excessive. Aluminum body panels and a lightweight chassis contribute to the agile experience of the 415sr, but comfort is not overly compromised thanks to a comfortable interior.

Not a very strong bid to win, since there is not much cohesion of the parts. Maybe this car will be good for engineering solutions.
There should have been a black mirror here, and a backstory, but the computer’s power is not enough.

It seems that it is possible to fit a true supercar in the budget, maybe Primus is too overengineered…
Lets see how the Italian gentleman rocket holds up against it.
In preparation for this JOC, I build a pair of mid-engined test mules - one of them was based on the ~2.6m '95 Super Wedge body set and had a 500bhp 6.0L V12; the other one was built on the '90 348/F355 body set (~2.4m) and was powered by a 400bhp 3.5L flat-crank V8. Both of them had a luxury interior, but the former was the more comfortable of the pair, although the latter was sportier.

Still as crazy as the last model that this Zephorus takes inspiration from, the Grimsel comes with a NA 6.2L V12 and 646hp to the rear wheels.
Small sidenote:
I am taking a break going on holiday and won’t be back making cars till new years ish. Cya then!

Oh, crap. I thought that there still was plenty of time, lol. I’m out. 
12 hours left until submissions close!
I have received a submission from @mart1n2005 - he has not yet posted an ad, though.
On the other hand, @the-chowi has posted an ad on this thread, but has not yet submitted the corresponding .car file.
As before, if you have entries ready, don’t forget to submit them (along with an accompanying ad posted on this thread) before the deadline.
I just about got the car done last night so I’ll have the ad up in a few hours, will be after close of the round though.
