The People's Car
Design a reliable and economical car that can be afforded by most of the population.
Jakarta and its 4 satellite cities are a masterclass in how to do everything wrong in urban design. It is the second most populated urban area in the world, with 35.6 million people. This density, combined with a lack of reliable and accessible public transportation networks and a continued focus on building more highways and American-style suburbs has lead to most Indonesians suffering under daily 2 hour traffic jams and breathing toxic fumes in their homes (that are next to highways). With no other option of getting around the places they need to go, car (or motorcycle) ownership is necessary. In a country where the cheapest of cars are considered a luxury to some, even the bare minimum that provides a climate-controlled cabin to protect them from urban heat and pollution, a roof to protect them from the rain, 5 seats to carry their friends or family, and 4 wheels to take them cross-country would be enough.

You are a car manufacturer looking to take advantage of this market need.

:star: :star:

:star: :star:

Design

With such a big financial decision, you definitely want a car that at least looks cool for your friends and neighbors to wow at. The preference are sporty looking cars or cute/chic.

(Doesn’t mean that the car needs to have amazing style, just make sure it’s well-built in game)

:star: :star: :star:

Drivability

The car needs to be extremely easy to drive. You are sitting in traffic for at least 2 hours everyday for the rest of your life and occasionally need to visit your cousins/friends/family across the country in 6+ hour long drives.

Purchase & Service Costs

You are doing okay - for someone from Indonesia, lol. Unfortunately your purchasing power is still one of the lowest in the world, and you really don’t want to spend more than you need.

Fuel Economy

Even with government subsidies, fuel is still prohibitively expensive. It also literally burns off as you sit for hours in traffic, so the more fuel efficient the car the better.

Reliability

You do NOT want to reach into your wallet to fix something or replace anything. Ever. That’s so expensive!

:star: :star:

Practicality

You can really only afford one car. What if you need to take your friends to the trendy new cafe? What about a weekend getaway trip? What about delivering cakes to customers for your Instagram cake business?

Comfort

Statistically, the average Jakartan literally spends 10 years of their life sitting in traffic lmao. Please make it comfortable.

:no_entry_sign:

Safety

Neither you or the government cares. Most of the time you will only go 40km/h anyways so it’s just a minor collision. If a random truck suddenly hits you from behind because its brakes failed due to lack of government oversight and regulation, well at least you will get to heaven quicker.

Prestige

Ehhh at this price point you’re really not flexing anything to folks who already have a car.

Sportiness

You will be stuck in traffic or carefully weaving through a sea of motorcycles, so unfortunately there is no road left for you to exercise that 74hp engine!!!

Rules

We are designing and making a car for the 2024 year, but we will use Automation’s 2020 year.

  • Model & Trim Year: 2020
  • Engine & Variant Year: 2020
  • Max Wheelbase: 2.6m or below. (110 in)
  • Body Styles: Hatchbacks highly preferred. MPVs or subcompact crossovers acceptable.
  • Fuel Type: 91 RON.
  • 0-100kph Acceleration: Faster than 14 seconds.
  • Safety: Basic 10s or Above.
  • Seats: At least 5 seats.
  • Doors: At least 4 doors.
  • Tyres: Radials ending in 5. (No semi-slicks)
  • Emissions: WES10
  • Max Loudness: 50
  • Max Budget: $10,000
  • No Negative Quality
  • Techpool: $40M, Combined
  • No Negative Techpool

(The default techpool of +5 everywhere gives a combined $26.36M. An additional $18.64M should be plenty enough to bring down costs and allow you to specialize in a particular area.)

Changelog & Notes

Please remember to double check car and naming schemes, as well as the rules including the acceleration one. Also, usually cars in this segment have tiny engines and only really need 60 or 100hp so no need to go overboard lol but it’s up to you.

Please also do NOT bother with interiors, this is a QFC.

Master of detail! Amazing car and very inspiring design. Very well done, looking forward to seeing the next model of the brand :raised_hands::raised_hands::raised_hands:

It reminds me of an Alfa 8C and a GMA T.50 - an intoxicating application of modern design cues to an older body. If you applied this philosophy to a larger car powered by a normally aspirated V8, V10 or V12, I would expect the results to be even more stunning.

Hi guys! Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it! And yup I can see Vienne’s resemblance to the Alfa 8C and GMA T.50, but actually my main inspiration was the DeTomaso P72 haha, sort of that retro-modern style which I thought was kinda interesting.

Vienne’s design goal was just a super light and super small car (kinda the most basic/analogue sports car) haha, but yeah maybe (someday) I will do another retro-modern style with a higher output and larger engine!

If the four-cylinder Vienne is the appetizer, the Vescaya, with its monstrous V12, is the main course. If anything, it’s even more of a retro-futuristic showcase in minimalism on the outside, with its clean upper surface. I suspect you used the Valkyrie-esque body as a base, but the Vienne was built on one of the 50s/60s prototype bodies instead.

And with such a huge gap in performance between them, there should be plenty of room for an intermediate model or two - they could be powered by 6- or 8-cylinder engines.

Simply stunning, with some interesting tech inside and impressive stats.

This is one the closest thing I could imagine as an Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale hommage. Awesome level of detail, great specs combination (love the N/A boxer 4 choice)… Makes you wanna drive it.

Here I go again ahahhahahaha Dude, u’re killing it!! This well shows how far Automation has gone. I’d just want to jump straight into the game and going insane creating something similar which surely won’t come out as good as yours :sweat_smile: . Really inspiring work

Thank you very much for the kind words everyone, really appreciate it!

So these cars probably take around a month each maybe? I usually start off with a basic idea/concept and then do first iteration, and then just keep iterating and adding detail until it looks kinda “right” I guess? For Vesselia I reworked the exterior design maybe twice and interior three times.

Yet another stunner from Viettor - the Vesselia is a proper grand tourer through and through. It would be even better with proper sports compound tires, though, and an RWD version with a detuned N/A version of the Vescaya’s V12 would be an ideal stepping stone from the V10 model to the flagship. On top of that, a convertible variant would also be a great addition to the range.

And judging by the proportions, I have a hunch that the Vesselia is built on one of the '56 Swinger body sets.

Damn, stats are just about as impressive as the styling. I really like the choice of a relatively small, high revving V10.

That’s exactly what McLaren chose for the Solus, and De Tomaso will do the same with its P900 (although the latter will have a V12 option later on). It also reminds me of GMA and its small V12 displacing less than 4.0 liters.

I just saw a picture of Veiona on Discord and now I’m pretty sure that Oreo woke up one morning and decided to become the best builder there is.

Keep it up, you’re absolutely killing it.
