ahem… this thing got 0 stars, and it’s on my driveway.
no we don’t want to live 
also that markup… i thought i posted a screenshot of the market tab above?
edit: oops, i posted it on the paris motor show thread
Lol they dead for sure, see that epic whiplash and faceplant and crush injury.
I wonder what safety level that car would score in Automation… And what a rating if 40 correlates to…

That I’ve always wondered about, what safety ratings in game compare to real life scores?

#GOING ELECTRIC
##Komodo Lectro (Hybrid CUV)
as long as the company stands, we have been able to make an economy car that provides good eonomy and low emissions to pass all the rules and standards. but in the last decade, that is not enough anymore. our competitors are passing us by with their electric and hybrid cars. it is undeniable that these hybrid vehicles are really efficient, more efficient that we make our engines to do, without resorting to super expensive and exotic methods and materials.
this is a fully new experience to us, as so many new ways and possibility in designing the car opens up, it is our first electric vehicle, it may not be the best, but it just shows what could be coming in the future.
##Lectro Dario
it has so many new design features we can’t do in normal cars
First off, no engine transmission whatsoever. the ICE is only acting as a generator for the electric motor, thus, the weight added by the 15KwH battery plus the electric motors is more than offset by it.
Secondly, since the battery pack is so heavy, we needed to thought of a different way to put in onto the chassis. we ended up not putting is ON the chassis, but making the whole battery pack A PART OF the chassis itself. more than just eliminating the need to reinforce the chassis to support the battery, not the battery is part of the support itself. reducing the weight even more.
Third. since the engine is decoupled from the drivetrain directly. we can make the motor put out more power than what the ICE can put out for a short amount of time, when needed. it is fitted with an electric motor rated for 120HP peak power.
Fourth. since the engine isn’t subjected to the harsh and dynamic driving conditions, which is already taken care by the electric motors, we can make the engine even lighter because it doesn’t get subjected to super high stress that modern engines are subjected to. in fact. our engine only weigh 91Kgs.
##Lectro Dario-X
#HEB - 10 DDIT
the generator is a 4 cylinder, 1L turbo engine with up to 32% efficiency making 84HP

how about that for a hybrid?
i certainly could actually do better than that, but it’s as lore friendly is i can go

Not bad. 62 MPG, roughly, and it’s a bit more modern than my design, in a smaller, lighter platform, with less power but less engine to drag around. All in all, not a bad little hybrid.
Back in may of 2016. i made a Phyton Fighter for the American Road Trip Challenge. it won the challenge.
which is honestly 100% was’t expected. i was hoping sure, but not really expecting for it so.
turns out the car is MUCH more flexible, the packaging is excellent, the efficiency although not excellent, it’s still far more than acceptable. although styling isn’t it’s forte, it’s also not my worse work.
so in june i made a full lineup of it. the posts here
but i kept it around, but as time goes on, i find more and more uses for this car and more of the potential that this car and engine combination have. simply, it’s FAR beyond what i was actually building in the first place.
as for example of this, i made a sedan version and entered it on the CSR23 was it? i can’t remember. it was @strop’s last csr round as of when this post is made.
it made into one of the finalist of the round. sure it didn’t win, but i was going on a lore based entry and using an existing car. the engine was overweight because it was downsized. so i feel like it got into the finalist itself is pretty amazing already.
but as time goes on, i still have yet to found the full potential of this car.
so i think it’s another round to give this car justice.
yes. the 3rd post about the Phyton. if you haven’t noticed it already. yes
I FREAKING LOVE THIS CAR
okay enough blabbering. let’s start showing
#2016
there isn’t much happening in the year 2016
just one. when i tried to do a green hell Time Attack with the Phyton Fighter without engine or body modification
just weight reduction
and here is the time.
#2017
the sedan trims of the Phyton lineup came out.
which as i said, one of them was entered to the CSR and got a ‘bronze medal’ only lost to a small pure bred track/sports car, and a super budget V12 road legal race car.
so also not much new there
#2018
this saw the Phyton sees big changes.
new engine series and a facelifts.
(the amount of fixtures has risen up significantly, and is now much MUCH more variant. thank you to all the modders 
)
the engine comes last, as it’s another different topic.
but first the cars and facelifts
##Jomund-T
this is the first trim to be getting the new facelifts
one trim in particular is offered with a new variant of the PP family engine
a 2.2L Turbo Inline 4. it actually have a bit less power than the NA variant from 2016, but it’s geared more towards better fuel economy, and with a turbo you have more torque along the power band, especially on the mid range, so it won’t feel any slower at all.
Price : $25500
#Jomund
now i want to say much stuff on this one, but it’s my current Hybrid Beater Entry car for @madrias, so not much that i can say.
what i can say is. it’s Powered by a whole new engine Family. the SP lineup. a smaller and more fuel efficient inline 4 engine series. this one is powered by a 1.6L variant. and i don’t want to say much more at this point. maybe i’ll release some more stats as time goes on.
###Price : TBD
#Kosiak
HEY. A WAGON!!. yes, a wagon Phyton that is coming along with the facelift
and, sorry you only have half the specs here, as it’s using the exact same variant as the Jomund.
this is the most basic version of the wagon, with only basic interiors and infotainment systems and other features.
###Price : $22400
#Lungen
the “Normal” or mid-class version of the wagon
it uses a 2L version of the new SP engine.
###Price : $28000
#Lungen S
the “S” stands for “Supreme”
this is the top of the line of the wagon variant. with full premium and lush interiors, with amazing infotainment systems inside.
also supreme is the engine.
a 2.4L inline 4 turbo closing on making double the power of the 2L variant at 276HP.
###Price : $32700
#Fighter Gen. II
the Second Generation of the Phyton Fighter.
from 430hp, now it makes 477HP while losing 30kg
the whole transmission gearing has been changed. while the 0-60 is slower by 0.4 seconds, this is a bit more track oriented, and is guaranteed to be faster and more confidence boosting while on the track, and on the road.
the fuel economy didn’t change much.
(because the game has changed quite a bit, the economy too, the prices can’t really be compared to when this was first built)
###Price : $ 39700

btw. the current Komodo Phyton Trim Lineup as of now
and there’s 12 variant of the PP engine, being used in other cars too of course.
and the new SP engines have 4 variants already.
pics here. and because it contains the engine im using for the competition. i’m too lazy to edit it. so NO PICS for you

That Phyton Fighter R looks like a rival against the mighty C2000R , with around the same laptime
How much does it cost?
that one isn’t for sale. but you can/were able to get a normal Phyton Fighter and we’ll tell you what to remove to reduce the weight 
Damn! All on one platform? That’s some cost-effective automotive design right there! Stats certainly impress, only qualm I have is that the back of each of the models looks a little simple? I reckon just a few more fixtures and it’d be fantastic.

How did you get that drivability? Quite impressive, I must say (as I use the same platform and RWD).
yeah i got the same feeling, but whatever i tried to put on it just doesn’t fit it.
@szafirowy01 not sure… all the wagons have automatics that might have something to do. the Lungen S is an AWD, also another factor.
but other than that. it’s mostly just a mix of 3 things, tire size, suspension setting and engine torque curve
so 2 months later.

YA Alku and this… Some sort of badge-engineering?
No. We literally didn’t cooperate aside from the engine at all. I gave to him the engine about last week, i made my own car today and published it today. When i was writing this he suddenly published his… I’m just as curious as you are as to how this happened

Literally pure coincidence 
#Mani
Pictured is the 1500FX Trim
it’s 1956. we somehow struck an opening to sell a car in Anikatia. but we didn’t have anything to sell there, so we reached out to one of the national car manufacturer there to struck a deal. (they asked to not disclose who they were. suspiciously) and the deal was to hitch a production line and to license their existing car platform, but sell it under the Komodo branding. and also, to give existing dealers to be able to sell this Komodo alongside the existing car lineup that was being sold at the time.
the powertrain was to be shipped in fully assembled from japan. but we didn’t have enough time to engineer a new engine or even a new engine variant. so we used whatever engine that we have without modifying it. but the transmission was revamped. the car platform was never meant to be supporting a rear wheel drive setup and we only have a rear wheel drive drivetrain setup, and to modify the chassis floor would require extra retooling costs that we had to pay for.
so instead of that, we made a transfer case that attached directly onto the transmission case, and connects to the output shaft, and transmit it to the front, driving the front wheel axle. so the car has a Longitudinal Front Wheel drive layout.
the car was received not as good as expected. the main reason being the 1.2L engine that was used. since it was modified, it needed to run the more expensive 92 Octane fuel, and 10.6km/l fuel economy rating didn’t help either. yet instead of making a smaller more efficient engine capacity, we also introduced the higher powered 1.5L with posher interior that had even worse reception from the masses. but those that did made it out to the market proved itself to be very dependable and durable. but that was not enough to convince the buyers

Now this is a good example of a 50s everyday car - it looks even better in the UE4 engine! It’s a pity it was not as successful as it should have been, though.
Looks quite similar to a Mk 1 Cortina with the stacked grills and high headlights, I like. What sort of engines were used? OHV or OHC?
1.2L OHV making 44hp. and 50hp iirc for the 1.5L one
