This is a request for proposals, not a request for quotations. In other words, the Government is not going to spoon-feed every detail about the car, but is looking for creative proposals to solve their problem, as outlined.

Winter 1955
THE NEW LINE OF VCV TRUCKS
For the first time since 1948, this year’s lineup of VCV trucks is completely overhauled. The body is redesigned to fit the taste of the modern truck buyer that expects a truck to be as good looking as a passenger car. The base inline six engine now has an alternative in the optional V8 (the all new engine introduced in Vaughn passenger cars for 1955, see previous issue for details).
What is probably more important, is that VCV trucks (here an Enforcer B20 pickup) is now not only the vehicles for the letaran workers, they are now also the vehicles BY the letaran workers. They are now put together in our new assembly plant in Lerance, which also means that they apply to the tax rebate for domestically assembled vehicles. One of the reasons is that they now an be directly tailored for the Letaran market. Changes from the american versions include extra lighting in the rear, amber indicators up front, and a cylinder head with hardened valve seats, to be able to run on unleaded fuel, meaning that six cylinder trucks will get the tax rebate for vehicles able to run on unleaded.
Of course, this also means that the Rural (B24 model shown) has gotten the same treatment as the Enforcer. Maybe the most rugged station wagon on the Letaran market, now with all the improvements that have made the Enforcer one of the best pickup trucks on the market.
Available as a 2-seater B22, 5-seater B23 or 8-seater B24. With an inline six or V8. No matter which one you choose, you will have a companion always up to its task.
The B40-series (Rural B44 shown) is one of the major news. It has everything that makes the B20-series great, but adds 4 wheel drive with high- or low-range gearbox, limited slip differential, a 4 speed manual geared for offroad driving, all terrain tyres and a skid plate. Available as B40 Enforcer pickup, B41 Enforcer panel van, B42, B43 or B44 Rural (2, 5 or 8 seats). The B44 is considered safe enough to get the tax rebate the government only gives to the very safest cars - making it the more or less perfect family vehicle.

Some questions:
Tail and brake lights shall be housed in separate fittings.
Does this mean separate fixtures (A), or are visually separate holes/bulbs in the same cluster (B) or fixture D allowed? As I read it, (C) would be illegal at least.
Unleaded Regular (91 RON) - everywhere, but bad batches do occur especially in rural areas,
Is this something to be taken into account when tuning the engine, or more of a “flavor” - making the car less attractive to rural buyers, like with E10?
Quality Points - diminishing returns aside, the budget at least for R2 is generous enough to add quite a bit. IMO this is fine and reflects IRL competion, but perhaps a restriction on tire quality would be prudent?
Safety rquirements seem fine to me, but I did lobby for at least “standard safety” and not specific points to avoid the minutiae. I like the safety tax idea, and the reasoning behind it - and @Elizipeazie 's idea for solution. On one possible unibody 13K entry, the 5% tax is slightly more expensive than adding advanced safety to avoid it - so it actually works as an incentive.
IRL safety requirements haven’t always been popular with carmakers - or their stans. Them regulashuns are why modern cars are all heavy, ugly and bad, right?

Re lights, they must be in separate fittings, meaning two separate bulbs in two separate reflector housings. They can share a single cover glass though:
Re fuel, I hardly ever anything just to be filler text, most of it has some sort of meaning. Take that how you will…
Re QP points, there is a reason why the race category tires are the “wild west” if you will. Take that how you will as well…
Re Safety. I’ll take that as a comment that I agree with

lore for anyone interested
After the mild failure of the Garland Aero-line in Letara, Garland set out to carve its spot in the Letaran market, even if they were late to it; So in 1954 plans for a full-blown Garland factory in Letara began circulating around.
It opened in 1956, nearly a year after construction started, where it’d produce the failure that was the Aero-line. Soon enough for '58 Garland would introduce a new doctrine of focusing on the Blue Collar market of Letara, a relatively un-exploited segment.
After some deliberation A. Sounderois and the Garland of Letara board agreed on the model, a Garland staple, the L-Series trucks. Part of the Garland Line-up since 1937, this trucks have seen much evolution since their first generation; As always they can be equipped with both the iconic Garland I6, or the Mighty Mouse V8.
Hoping for success, Garland of Letara gave the go-ahead.
Collins Superlight
After being fired for a supposed conspiracy involving the Garland 358R, Sharpe Collins and some of his co-workers reorganized into Collins Garage. in 1959 CG would come up with the Collins Superlight, using Garland parts such as the Powerplant and transmission.

Mara leaves Letara, Ep. 1/1
10th January 1955
Boardroom, Mara main factory grounds, just outside the town of Mara, Archana
As usual at the start of a new year, Mara’s comrade directors came together to discuss any substantial deviations from their prevalent Five Year Plan. Over the recent years, it had become their routine to start with the situation on the export markets, as these were usually more volatile than their carefully centrally planned home market.
Consequences of the latest Letaran safety regulations
“Next item: Letara”, Henri Nordhov, the Comrade Executive Director read out. “How much of a bombshell were the new safety regulation that their new government dropped over there late last year on everyone as their holiday present?”
Fedor Piechov, Comrade Director of Engineering, didn’t mince words. “A big one, lethal to say the least.” He pointed to Rodyn Gumprov, the development engineer in charge of their now sole model in production.
Rodyn made a sour face, partially because of the answer he was about to give and partially because he has had hardly any holiday, thanks to the Letaran ‘holiday present’. “My comrades and I had a intense look over the last weeks”, he reported. "It’s certainly not something we can comply with with some rework after assembly over there. We would have to do at least some structural reengineering and extensive testing for crashworthiness. That’s not something one can do just on the drawing board or with calculation tables. Overall, the changes would be too substantial to be economically viable, especially after we just finished our first big overhaul of the Tovarysh… Companion model range. "
“Not helping are our steadily shrinking sales figures over there”, Natalya Suddya, Comrade Director of Sales added. “Our revised trims would address a lot of the issues that customers had with the previous versions, but it’d be a pretty big gamble. Besides, we wouldn’t even get an advantage in our home market - no Archanan customer has ever asked about increased safety features.”
“This means?” Nordhov asked, although he knew the answer already.
“We have to withdraw the Companion from the Letaran market after the grace period for safety compliance expires”, Fedor replied. “Guess that’s what we get for exporting into a democracy”, he couldn’t help but adding.
Nordhov allowed a few seconds of stunned silence around he heavy wooden boardroom table.
“What do we do with our recently opened assembly plant over there?”
“What we can do for the time being”, Natalya began again, “is having the assembly plant running at least one shift per day with a skeleton workforce for exports to Somunds. They are less squeamish about safety, let’s hope it stays that way. Might need some extended plant holidays over the Letaran summer so that they don’t overproduce, depending on how demand develops.”
“So it’s not entirely useless?” Nordhov again.
“No”, Natalya replied. “We also think about getting a dealer to open shop in Somunds close to the Letaran border. Then we can see how many Letaran people really care about safety when it is about their wallet as well. They can buy in Somunds and then import individual cars right back into Letara. Besides, our domestic and Dalluhan sales are picking up anyway slowly but surely, including the otherwise unchanged cars formally certified for 92 leaded fuel - that was a good idea.” She throws an appreciative glance to Rodyn. “So any additional market is nice to have, but not as crucial as in the previous years.”
“Alright”, Nordhov obviously was less than pleased but did not see any viable other option either, and he certainly wouldn’t be caught dead throwing more money at a problem caused by a foreign government. “Anything else from Letara?”
Fedor answered again. “Their new government put out a tender for a 4x4 offroader.”
“Do we still have some Konyk jeeps stored away?”
“No, they are finally all gone”, Natalya reported. “Even if it took over four years after they went out of production.”
Fedor joined in again. “Their removable roof would actually make the Konyk ideally flexible for what they want over there, but I don’t think the rear seats would qualify as full-size seats in the sense of what they want anyway. So even if we could get our hands on some more Konyks, it would basically be futile.”
Rodyn spoke. “Oh, and they are stopping the Cannonball and start circuit racing. But I guess since we are not selling anything anymore over there, there is little sense in preparing something. Too bad our last Cannonball outing ended with a whimper, not with a bang.”
Nordhov nodded curtly and proceeded to the next agenda item.
Fedor thought grimly. ‘As will our market presence over there for the time being…’

One quick question… since the government itself will be the buyer of the winning 4x4 proposal, will said vehicle still be subject to the safety or octane taxes that other vehicles are subject to?
INTERLUDE
Having completed their lobbying summary and recommendations briefing notes from the previous round of legal lobbying, the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of the Letaran Government closed their doors and went a on a well-deserved vacation. After getting back to their offices, they found their inboxes full. Not only were the inboxes full, there were even sheets of paper with complaints and further attempts at lobbying plastered to their closed office doors! What was all this about then?
Well, it seemed like some companies were very dissatisfied with the outcome of the previous lobbying efforts and the consequent decisions the Government of Letara made, and tried to alter the decisions with further lobbying efforts. This was not entirely unexpected. Taxes and tightened regulations are always unpopular. The main concern raised by several manufacturers was the regulation regarding safety standards set out by the Government in their updated Vehicle Code. Since the issues raised concern several departments of the Government, a cross-divisional working group was set-up to investigate some of the claims made by the companies. Here is a summary of findings and recommendations.
- The safety regulations are too strict and unattainable for small cars. Our engineering consultants have informed us that with clever techniques and proper equipment the standards are attainable even with the smallest of cars. More than half of cars on the road in Letara already meet or exceed the safety criteria. Therefore, we reject this assertion.
- The cars will be significantly more expensive, putting them out of reach of Letarans. Our market research has shown that the safety awareness program so generously paid for by one of the corporations is proving to be very effective. Thus, the research indicates that Letarans would rather pay a little more, or take public transportation, rather than buy unsafe cars. Therefore, we reject this notion.
- The tax on low, but legal, safety rated cars will “kill” the small and cheap car market. We reject this notion for several reasons. First, the tax scales to the initial price of the car. Thus, for cheaper cars, the imposed tax is rather minimal. Second, in conjunction with the Department of Healthcare, it was determined that the reduced healthcare costs for Letarans as a result of better safety equipment would offset any increased cost imposed by this minimal tax. Thus, we reject this third point as well.
The Government of Letara would like to remind everyone that in these tough times the way forward is through austerity. We all need to pull our weight to balance the budget and get the economy of the country back on its feet. With the changed taxation measures we will offset the lost income from car imports. We also offset the healthcare costs associated with unsafe vehicles on Letara’s roads by targeting unsafe cars, whatever size or category they fall in.
Signed - the Department of Transportation, Department of Health, and Revenue Agency.
PS. OOC: rules are set and round open for submissions!

No, as long as it’s road legal, it will not be taxed in the same way as consumer vehicles.

KESSEL WERKS MEETING, 12 JAN. 1955
The meeting that brought about Kessel's government proposal
Herr Frisch stepped off the airplane at Rhein-Main Airport in Frankfurt and was greeted by Sigmund Kessel and his driver. Frisch had been busy in Letara, overseeing construction of the new Kessel factory and keeping abreast of the various developments in the country.
Kessel: Guten Tag! It’s nice to see you back! I trust the flight was well… hopefully you have come to bring us some good news about Letara? How is construction progressing?
Frisch: Right on schedule. We should be operational in a little over a year. Our path to the docks are clear and concise, as you have requested. There has also been an uproar over the new taxes being imposed… the government has put a new emphasis on safety.
Kessel: That is good news for us. Safety is one of the few things the Sperling currently has going for it. But I wonder, will this extra tax drive the micro car builders to move in on our current market? We have yet to truly establish ourselves, and extra competition would not be ideal.
Frisch: It’s hard to say… the tax is 5%. Micros are usually inexpensive enough that they would still be far below our price point. But… there are already rumblings that Mara is leaving the market.
Kessel: That’s interesting! We’ll have to see if anyone else follows suit… you also said something over the phone about an octane tax. Aren’t our engines already tuned to run on 92 octane?
Frisch: They are. The 5% tax applies to any vehicle not running on UNLEADED 91 octane. Apparently, even Letara is having trouble getting the new formula right. I have notified our engineers not to retune our engines yet.
Kessel: That is the correct course of action. But, why is it correct?
Frisch (smiling): Still testing me after all this time? Well, if our cars aren’t running well it reflects poorly on us, regardless of the reason. Better for our customers to pay the tax and be happy with cars that run well.
Kessel: VERY GOOD! This is why I put you in charge. So, what about government contracts? Our last build helped keep the company afloat. What would Letara like now?
Frisch: Yes… (pausing momentarily). They’re currently looking for a versatile off-road vehicle to patrol they’re National Park. Four-wheel-drive would probably be a necessity.
Kessel: Naturlich. How much time do we have to develop a drive system?
Frisch: They need proposals now…
Kessel: Sheisse! That’s far too soon.
Frisch: Well, yes… but, there is a line employee of ours who has already built a rather capable vehicle for himself using his own existing Sperling wagon. It’s actually quite impressive.
Kessel: Beautiful! Have you talked to this man?! Let’s have him show his car to the engineers! Who is he?
Frisch: He’s… rather eccentric…
Kessel: NO, is it…Otzelhauser?!
Frisch: It’s Otzelhauser.
Kessel: SHEISSE! (After a long pause) …schedule a meeting with the engineers. And, prepare them for Otz…
Frisch: You know he’s going to want his name on the car.
Kessel: If that’s the worst of it I’ll count my blessings.
The car, 1955 KESSEL OTZELHAUSER SPERLING:
Specifications are still being worked on, but it’s driven by a 3.0 liter inline six connected to an honest 4x4 drivetrain. Price is currently somewhere around $13,000 AMU.

A TORPEDO FOR LERANCE
What’s this? A Vaughn Torpedo coupé? Such a car does not exist, right?
Well, actually it doesn’t, and unfortunately, is not going to be released during the lifespan of the current generation (but admit that it looks sleek!). What you’re looking at is a fiberglass copy of the Torpedo body on a whole new chassis, that is going to run at the soon-to-be-opened Lerance raceway. The fixed roof is a way to make the body more rigid and aerodynamic. Under the hood, you find a specially tailored version of the Vaughn V8 with a power output of over 380 hp that is running on the recently introduced E70 ethanol/gasoline fuel blend. Under the fiberglass shell, we are acually trying out technology that will be introduced for the next generation Torpedo, where you can expect both disc brakes and independent suspension all around.
So, in one way, you can almost say that the future already is here!

If it Was Legal to Do This…
… You Could Do It.
But should you? Probably not. The Letaran police don’t need the headaches caused by people buying multiple AMCW Scout utility trucks and trying to haul them home like this. However, with a weight of 1,240 kg, and a carrying capacity of 1,350 kg, you certainly could carry your truck’s weight. We believe that makes it worth its weight in gold. But you won’t pay nearly that much for it.
New for 1959, the AMCW Scout Family Cargo. The small car that can carry cargo, too.

Simple Things
In life, some things are too complicated. Whether it’s following the new road laws, filing your new taxes, or keeping track of the new companies, things just aren’t as simple as they used to be.
That’s why Kim Heavy Industries does things the old way. There are no fancy tricks. There are no flashy trappings. The 1325-H is a simple, straightforward vehicle. It has a familiar drivetrain, a familiar motor, and familiar underpinnings. It has impressive towing capacity without sacrificing its gas mileage. It is reliable and affordable. It is comfortable and utile.
It is old fashioned in all the best ways.

To the Letarian Government,
We would like to introduce you to our new Rhania Hunter Type-M!
Fitted with a 2.2L inline 4 that was built by our Japanese collaborators overseas, Mokhatsu, it produces 118 horsepower and 111 horsepower while getting a nice 12 MPG.
This engine was stress tested through many obstacles that a ranger may need to overcome in his vehicle. The engine was made with the intent to be able to run on low quality fuel if there happens to be a shortage of fuel.
This engine may look pale in comparison to the Chieftain from CMC which makes 24 lb-ft of torque per cylinder, our engine produces 29.5 lb-ft of torque per cylinder. The engine 22 more horsepower than the Chieftain. The Chieftain also gets the same MPG as our Hunter at an astounding 12 MPG.
There is more to the engine as well, the Chieftain before import costs is $14,000 and the KESSEL OTZELHAUSER SPERLING is $13,000 by the assumption that it is not under anything of the import fees. Our SUV only costs $12,000 while being able to seat 5 fully grown adults comfortably and safely. The SUV also boasts a top speed of 78.4 MPH which is much faster than the CMC Chieftain’s 72 MPH top speed. The faster, cheaper, and more efficient Hunter is simply a much better offer than what the rest have to show.
Our SUV is also cheap to maintain at a cost of $457.3 (per year?). This is not at the expense of the materials as we use galvanized steel to reinforce the chassis and help with off-roading. Being fitted with off-road cross-plys in order to traverse the lands.
This SUV has to the ability to tow 2534lbs and load 7572.1lbs. This means that it can haul equipment and tow bogged cars while being a super star with its newly updated 4X4 system paired with manual locker.
Another thing to note is that for the rangers, they get equipped with 2 jerry cans worth of petrol and a spare tire if one gets punctured. It is also worth noting that the Hunter Type-M comes with a radio which would allow for communication and entertainment for the rangers. Another thing is the safety, as it gets a ~27 safety rating meaning it can be used on the road without worrying other civilians.
The choice is yours, and this one is a smart choice
From the Rhania Motor Company

I would highly suggest reading post 1 and post 205 for a full description. Each round car companies submit up to 3 different cars to the Letaran market; a consumer vehicle, a race car, and a government vehicle (the Letaran government will explain what they are looking for in the government proposal each round).
If you haven’t submitted a car last time you will have to register your company with @cake_ape before submitting. Once you enter at least 1 vehicle this round you will be eligible to build facilities in Letara and lobby the government for changes to take effect next round. But posts 1 and 205 will explain all of that better than I could. Have fun with it, and good luck!

Torshalla's Letaran history in the 1950's
pictured from left to right: Tegal 4x4; Naktergal DL, SL, Cabriolet; Poesy Cabriolet, DL, DL Kombi, L Kombi, L; Griffin
Where did Torshalla find itself in Letara following it's introduction?
Luck was certainly not on Torshalla’s side when it entered the Letaran market in 1952. The recent dip in the economy proved to be a challenging time to introduce a small car aimed at the premium commuter market. Something would need to be done to broaden the appeal of the Poesy. It seemed that a smaller, more profitable engine could help the Poesy move downmarket. Unfortunately, the company had neither the time to engineer one nor the factory space to produce such a thing. So, they went looking for a company that did. Enter Kardiski Machine Ltd. They had started up making tractors and other equipment for Sweden’s industrial sector. Their product portfolio offered a range of small inline overhead valve motors small enough to fit in Poesy’s small engine bay. The two companies merged in the fall of 1952, with Kardiski renaming as Torshalla Industrial.
A suitable engine was selected for an entry level Poesy, a 918cc inline three making 29 hp. Along with a simplified interior, radio delete, hard life tires, and reduced brightwork trim, the new L series Poesy (the standard would be christened the DL) had a MSRP nearly $3400 less. To further add to the Poesy’s appeal, two new body styles were added. First was the Kombi estate, available in either L or DL trim. The Kombi L was aimed at those whom wanted something practical yet affordable, while the Kombi DL gave buyer an increase in comfort and power, featuring a detuned 1.2L boxer four from the Letaran Cannonball racers.
To top off the range, a Cabriolet was also tooled up. The drop top sacrificed the rear seats to make room to stow the convertible top, but offered premium interior trimmings and radio. It also carried a hefty price tag, in hopes of luring luxury car buyers into buying a fun, second runabout. But with the impending safety regulations and taxes to go with it, the little Poesy would still likely be an outlier in the Letaran market. What was the small Scandinavian company to do? The decision was reached to begin better utilizing their new industrial division, to go further upmarket with their consumer cars, and to gather more attention through motorsport.
Torshalla's bid on the government offroad contract
The 1955 Torshalla Industrial Tegal 4x4
To fulfill the order of the Letaran government’s quest for a vehicle for their new national park system, the company fitted a Tegal van body with a Kardiski tractor drivetrain. The resulting rig features a 2.4L OHV inline four making 73hp and 118 ft-lbs of torque. Four wheel drive, manual locking differentials, and chunky offroad oriented tires allow for excellent offroad maneuverability. With seating for up to five people and 1950 liters of cargo space, it should prove to be quite practical. And with 3,400 pound towing capacity, numerous tow points, and electric cable winch, it should be quite capable as well. The cost is a reasonable $11,000 AMU.
Torshalla goes up market
1955 Torshalla Naktergal
With the smaller Poesy struggling in Letara, Torshalla’s larger offering was added to the lineup starting in 1955. The Naktergal DL rides on a 110" wheelbase, allowing for a greater deal of passenger space. Like the Poesy, boxer power is supplied to the front wheels, but with a larger 2.8l six cylinder. Making 92 horsepower and 133 lb ft of torque, it’s mated to a two speed automatic for supremely smooth operation. A high quality interior and advanced AM/FM radio capable of player 7" vinyl records is surely to impress passengers. Prices after taxes start at $27,120.
Like Torshalla’s smaller offerings, the Naktergal is offered in multible trims. The SL is for the driver who is looking for a bit more excitement paired to their luxury car. The 2.8 has been retuned with duel carburetors to bump power up to 106 horsepower (torque remains mostly the same). Also added to this package is wider tires on lighter wire wheels, stiffer springs and dampers, and a more driver oriented interior. Prices for the SL start at $27,960.
For a bit more exclusiveness, there is the Cabriolet. Features are quite similar to the DL, with an automatic, phonograph, and two plus two seating. Letareans with the means to enjoy top down driving can expect to pay $29160 for the privilege.
Swede Speed
1959 Torshalla Griffin
Following the relatively successful showings in the Letara Cannonball Runs, with every Torshalla finishing with zero failures, it was an easy decision to continue with motorsport with the completion of Lerance Raceway in 1959. The team of engineers tasked with making a new race car started with a Poesy chassis shortened by nearly a foot. Sleeker aluminum body panels where fitted and every measure was considered for weight, bringing the car under 1,600 lbs.
The engineering department came up with the proposal of using the race car, name the Griffin after the mystical creature, as a test bed for Torshalla’s next generation of boxer four engines. Displacing 1.8 liters, featuring overhead cam alloy heads, and twin DCOE carbs, the mill cranks out 129 horsepower and 108 ft lbs of torque. With a rack and pinion steering box, four wheel disc brakes, and experimental radial tires, it has been reported to circle Lerance Raceway in under 5:50 minutes with a blistering 140 mph top speed.
With the Griffin race car program, Torshalla is hoping for great things within the under 2.5l category and perhaps opening up a new direction for the company’s future.
