A very accurate difference between how boring us Americans can be and how fun and exciting Europeans etc. can be.

Four-valve dual overhead-cam heads were somewhat rare in 1982, let alone when combined with multi-point electronic fuel injection, and as such the Ornon’s engine would have been one of the most advanced ones anyone could have bought at the time outside of a few rare and expensive exotic cars. The fact that it looks better after its facelift is icing on the cake.

I can only say that I love this brand and I can’t realize why I haven’t discovered it before.
The Furka is one of your better-looking designs - naming it after a Swiss mountain pass certainly helps. And I get why many of the available engines are fitted with single-point EFI - multi-point EFI was more expensive, and therefore less common in 1985 than it would be just a decade later. However, a corrosion-resistant steel chassis seems like overkill (cost-wise) in any lower-end car made before 1994, when treated steel panels first become available - a galvanized steel chassis, with its lower cost, would have sufficed for such vehicles.
Edit: @Knugcab you were referring to corrosion-resistant steel panels. That item was removed in the most recent update due to being too similar to treated steel panels stat-wise. However, corrosion-resistant steel chassis are still present in the game.
Is CR even a thing anymore after the latest updates?

The switch from a straight-six to a V6 after 25 years may have resulted in a less balanced engine compared to an I6 of identical dimensions, but on the other hand, it yielded a more compact one (vital for transverse applications) - and the all-alloy construction is not only very advanced for 1988, but also helps save some weight. I hope the quad-cam version of the V635 Tabor III engine finds a home under the hood of the next Furka, among other things. Obviously, since all variants of a given engine family must share the same valvetrain, and the Tabor III comes in single or dual overhead camshaft-per-bank variants, I’m assuming you created two different families (one SOHC, the other DOHC) to fill out the new-for-'88 Tabor lineup.
It’s too bad that we have to create two distinct families for engines which differ only in their valvetrain. It is however common to have different valvetrains in the same engine family like PSA XU or PRV…
I guess that it was needed to make it somewhat challenging in campaign though. If not, one could as well have developed an engine of a certain size in 1948 and just changing valvetrain etc. as years went by. And in sandbox, it doesn’t matter very much, I think. So…

Nice. Will there be a coupe model?
Of course yes! And a LMR variant…
What trim levels will this wondrous looking machine be available in?
I think that I could take an Ornon for a review if you are interested, a bit curious about the car.
By the way, wouldn’t this be the fourth generation?
