Or the GT40 .
Lol the GT40 was never that dominant.
ok, whatever.
Strop was pretty dominant with a GT class car winning over prototypes with twice the budget.
- Insert right comparison here *
I’m working to avoid that from happening again…

Wait so AMWEC 2016 is in the works then?
'Cos you sure as hell bet I’m ready to dedicate at least an entire week of my life to developing a car for it!
@DeusExMackia Sort of. Most of the calculations are finished, but I haven’t translate them to a spreadsheet. I thought I might learn to code something, but at this rate it seems impossible (crazy and annoying real life stuff to do) but I’m planning to do it somewhere after this big update and before the unreal update.
And of course, Erin and Maesima MC will be more than welcome to participate! 
No no no, clearly those cars didn’t dominate enough for our publichair friend. They surely are overrated cars.

All that hybrid hardware, if Maesima chooses to use it, would add plenty of power, but also lots of extra weight, which would be at odds with the lightweight design of the car.
PLEASE DO

As the article say , Maesima is inexperience on hybrids powertrain , Saminda is one of a few companies that are making hybrid since early century.
Maesima could just go turbo if fuel economy and emission is a concern
Would be super awesome to have Saminda and the CZ6 GT compete on the field along former partner Erin and other well-known brands.
@Sillyworld I’m definitely looking forward to this! Will the vehicle classes roughly follow the previous season?
@Yamahafazer600 Your probably right turbocharging might be the best way forward although hybrids do attract some very lucrative incentives in a number of markets
Ehm… Moskvitch 412?

Goddammit , that is one gorgeous car , gonna make a review soon!!
waiting for the Prova Hatch and C4

I am suprise Maesima still making manual transmission for all trim , our sales recorded about less then 30% consumers choose manual over automatic.
EDIT : that’s why the C3 sedan doesn’t offer manual transmission , the coupe version are more towards sportiness hence there are manual tranmission for the lower trim
P.S : Bring it on Maesima

The four-door Prova reminds me very much of the current Mazda 3, in terms of design, engineering and performance. On current form there isn’t very much in its class that can come close to it.
When I have some free time I also plan to share my own compact sedan… we can have our own little compact showdown without the need for a magazine

The Maesima logo? I just made it in Photoshop.
@Yamahafazer600 Looking forward to it seems like we have number of excellent compact sedans on the market. Yep, plus the coupe and high-performance ST-R variants.
@Starfish94 Perhaps we just have different customers But seriously in the majority of markets you are correct the trend is towards automatics so in some of those markets we do offer exclusively automatic trims on higher grade models. I’m looking forward to seeing Spec-V and Coupe and hatchbacks stack up against the Prova couple, hatch and ST-R trims.
@DeusExMackia Would that happen to have anything to do with that very intriguing Erin teaser? Looking forward to it! Sounds like the compact sedan showdown is approaching…@phale better get on it! Sounds like a good idea if I have the time I’d be tempted to help with a magazine style setup at least the visual aspect. 
You’d need to get someone else to do all the copy, though.
