Paris Motor Show 2016 [Automation Edition]

[Darkshine5]

Why thank you sir i tried to make it an evolution of the original following similar guidelines to the original and i hope you can tell that the new one is an evolution of the old one.
Edit: i will release stats tommorrow of these two but basically i have switched the engines old/new.

out of interest does anyone know what the fastest front engine rwd car is in the automation world?

edit: this would be the laptime around att or green hell i guess… I am making no claims but it would be good to know

[ramthecowy]

I would immediately point you to GG or KHT if you refer to topspeed

@Darkshine5

fastest front engine rwd car

I can bet you fairly confidently that unless somebody specifically goes out and builds a new car to prove me wrong after reading this, the fastest (road-legal) FR car in the Automation world is GG’s Daeva (showcased 2015, limited release 2016). Building upon the original 7L V12 Bertha block that was the mainstay of their first two models, it’s easily good for 1000bhp. On the same sports tyres as other hypercars it’ll comfortably sub-7 around Green Hell.

If you search for this car on the old forums you’ll find a very old version of it before the change in simulation. The old version required that I put in significantly more dosh (1341hp) to get the same track times, but the 1000bhp car has a 50:50 weight distribution.

Since last year I keep saying I’ll reveal it at various shows LOL, since it was supposed to be in 2015, but I keep getting distracted

[Deskyx]

GG Daeva does under 7 but @strop hasn’t updated it in a looooong while.

Which means… the SSP 9-50 by yours truly is the one to beat. 7 min flat Nur, 950 hp, 1650 kg, manual FR.

Or for just a regular track attack car, the Dimension Paradox 6 does the Nur in 7:17, 650 hp, 1510 kg, manual FR

In a world where efficiency, autonomy and connectivity threaten to take the performance car increasingly farther away from its driver-focused roots or even render it obsolete altogether, AVD has unleashed the 2017 Peregrine SS8, a true old-school driver’s car in the traditional sense.

Its all-new 5.0-liter normally-aspirated cross-plane V8 delivers over 500 horsepower exclusively to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox (with an open-gate shifter to boot!) and mechanical limited-slip differential. With no other transmission options available, enjoyment and involvement will rarely, if ever, take a back seat to raw performance figures.

A track-focused version of this car is in development, but for this base model, lap times are not the be-all and end-all, hence the inclusion of a high-quality premium interior and infotainment system. Most importantly, however, the Peregrine SS8 is about having fun on your favorite road - sideways.

This happens when you like a CMT Commuter SE6 and push it to the max with insanity and without compromise.
I guess I need a Corvette clone with relatively simple components but more coolness than ice and making more fun that… Well, something you can do on the backseats of my bread and butter cars.

[Rick_VTEC]

Its the moment to show you our new Pure Sports Hatchback! Specs will announced later!

Cyborg R Trophy Concept 2017!

The battle for the best Hatchback is open!

[DeusExMackia]

Wow. Now THAT is what I call a hot hatch. Love the stripes too!

[strop]

Seconded, if I have time I must really put something in, because the hot hatch segment in Automation is hotter than ever!

[ramthecowy]

Dude that is hella [alpha][color=red]hott![/color][/alpha]

[Darkshine5]

Hmmmm pity the toga cant have a hatch varient…but strop I am coming after GG for the fastest rwd car from an Auatralian manufacturer…it just may take up the rest of the budget but meh…in the interest of good sportsmanship and to put DSD back in the headlines…and cause GG has some cool employees and id rather spend time with them gathering info on the sly…

[abg7]

That’s one of the hottest hatches I’ve ever seen on this forum - how fast will it go around the Green Hell?

[ramthecowy]

Man that things looks like serious business.

[TheRoadrunner]

It’s actually not that serious, could be faster but I wanted it to score as high as I could with the current body and engine.

Does 1:24 around the ‘‘Top Automation Gear’’ track, so fast enough for a hot compact sedan.

[Deskyx]

Looks like @phale won’t be lonely anytime soon in the cheaper family segment

[Rick_VTEC]

DeusExMackia - Thanks!

ramthecowy - Thanks!

abg7 - We are currently testing the car at Ring … laptimes keeps improving! Soon we release more info

#Mott Works Automotive
Earlier this year we revealed our 1111 supercar

Now we’ve made a new 1111.

This 1111 doesnt have the 1111hp of the supercar but what it does have is an 1111cc engine making 150hp which in a car that weighs just over 2000lbs allows it to do 0-60 in 6.4 seconds. It’s also able to reach 150mph and get 53mpg while being incredibly agile and it costs just $17,700. There is also a convertible version available for just $1,500 more.

#ECV

In the last few days of the Paris Show, ECV finnaly took their stage.

“Due to some Shipping and Transport errors, we are un-able to show the EV Sports car, the Hybrid Hatch, or the New Rune. We are, however, able to show you the 2017 Pyxis 2, and the 2017 Mammoth 4.” says ECV CEO Hana Myara.

“First, the Mammoth Mk 4. This is the Pre-production Concept for the new Mammoth Mk IV GT. With an all new 6666cc V12 engine, making around 550hp, this is our new Luxo-barge.”

“We began by designing an all new front end, keeping it looking similar to a normal road car. All 542hp are sent to the rear wheels, and are set to make a new way forward.”

“Moving to the rear is where things become… different. Here, we let go. The main tail-lights are at the bottom and at the top, below the lip. However, at night, the side lights are also used, increasing the visibility of the car.”

---

“Now, onto the main attraction. I would like to invite head of ECV-R, Marko Arun, to introduce Pyxis.”

“Greetings, Paris. I am Marko Arun, director of ECV Racing, and head of the Pyxis 2 Development Program. After my help on the Limbo EV project from a few years back, I was put at the forefront of creating a new Flagship. We had no brief, and a blank cheque. We could do whatever we wanted.”

“We wanted to try something different. So, instead of using large wings, and lips, we decided to use flaps, not too dissimilar to that of an aircraft. Mounted to the Bonnet are two flaps, used to help braking, assist in high-speed cornering, and keep the Pyxis planted at high speeds. We also used tech from our GT cars, creating Carbon canards, and a carbon lip to also assist in downforce. Almost all components used in the body are carbon fibre, or some other CF based material.”

“Moving around to the side, you can see that there is a very simple profile, with no large wing, or other protrusion to mess with the flow of the lines. The side exit exhausts are mainly a design choice, and allow for a smother rear-end.”

“Moving to the rear, and on the engine cover, are the main cooling vents, and behind them, are our rear flaps. these flaps are entirely independent from each other, allowing them to apply differing forces through a corner, and at speed. The rear flaps have 2 planes of movement, a side-to-side rotation (Note: Like the swaying of a boat at rest), and an up-and-down rotation (Note: Like a Car/bike doing a wheelie/stoppie). The rear is simple, in normal ECV fashion. Simple band taillights, indicators, and reverse lights, however, the new ECV high-end Badge is shown on the back, a new designation of ECV Range toppers. Any questions?”

[DeusExMackia]

@rcracer11m Interesting idea with the new 1111. You essentially have a sub-£20k track day car that manages to get incredible fuel economy, great job!

@Fayeding_Spray Very nice presentation, love the detail. What are the performance stats of the Pyxis?

[DeusExMackia]

##Paris Motor Show 2016 - [color=lightblue]Erin[/color] and Erin[color=turquoise]Sport[/color] - Part 2
With the sportier vehicles done and dealt with, it’s time to look at some of the other new models that Erin released this year.

(Apologies for the double post!)

---

Starting off is the new Erin Bino.

This is the company’s first venture into the city car market, and is also a new ‘world car’ for Erin. It’s being built at its own special facility in Leicester (~15 miles south of the main factory) where both right hand drive and left hand drive variants can be produced.

The Bino aims to be a functional, practical and reliable vehicle, acting as a cheap way to get around urban areas in it’s main European market, but also as a low cost car for developing parts of the world, allowing more people to experience the benefits of the automobile.

Features such as a split folding boot (with tail gate), 7" TapTouch™ infotainment system and fold-flat rear seats distinguish the Bino from its competitors, while options such as All Wheel Drive make this one of the most advanced city cars ever made.

Stats and Prices
Prices range from £8820 for the entry-level S trim up to £11130 for the top of the range Vox trim (excluding optional extras)

Construction details are as follows:

All trims come with the same Pureon 1.0l TDi TwinC Engine, producing 58 hp with a very smooth torque-power curve.

S 1.0l - from £8820
14" steel wheels, standard stereo radio unit, basic interior, air con, ABS

Lex 1.0l - from £10500
14" alloy wheels, 7" TapTouch™ infotainment, standard interior, air con, ABS,

Vox 1.0l - from £11130
15" alloy wheels, 7" TapTouch™ infotainment, standard interior with more material choices, air con, heated seats, ABS

We now move onto the recently facelifted Erin Tauga.

The newly updated compact sedan has received great feedback since being announced two weeks ago. Full details of the vehicle can be found here.

The Tauga has always centred on not being the car of the future, but the car you’ll be driving in 5 or 10 years time. One of the biggest achievements with the Mk 3 Tauga was to include standard features that you wouldn’t find as standard anywhere else - adaptive suspension, limited slip differentials and collision mitigation systems. And now that it’s been facelifted, the car looks better than ever.

Along with this update, the new Tauga X was finally released after 2 years in development.

The 190 mph, 417 bhp super sedan has been well received, and it’s shaping up to be one of Erin’s best cars in years. @Madrias described it as “the most fun I’ve had with a sports-compact” in his round of the CSR (source).

In response to some feedback received (and in order to qualify for review the car is entering), the price has been dropped to £49800 for the base model. All of the performance stats remain unchanged.

Stats and Prices
After the recent beta update, the prices and stats of the car changed quite considerably, which is why new figures are being released here. Because I’m being lazy, I’m only showing the stats for each trim level of the Saloon version - the differences between this and the Tourer and Coupe versions are minor.

S 2.0l/2.4l - Saloon from £20760, Coupe from £20862, Tourer from £22360
Faux-leather interior, standard detailing, choice of 16" and 17" wheels, standard sound system, premium air-con system, lite cruise control system, collision mitigation system, 5 USB charging ports, in-car internet**

Lex 2.0l/2.4l/2.5l - Saloon from £26040, Coupe from £26230, Tourer from £27225
Leather interior, chrome detailing, choice of 16"-19" wheels, improved sound system, full cruise control system, dual-zone climate control, collision mitigation system, 5 USB charging ports, in-car internet**

Vox 2.4l/2.5l - Saloon from £30240, Coupe from £30353, Tourer from £31200
Leather interior, chrome detailing, choice of 16" to 19" wheels, Bang & Oulfsen sound system, full cruise control system, dual-zone climate control, RoadSmart pack as standard, 5 USB charging ports plus wireless charging pad, tinted rear windows, in-car internet**

X 3.3 - Saloon from £49800
Sports interior, optional bucket seats with 3 point harness, 18" custom wheels, Bang & Oulfsen sound system, full cruise control, dual-zone climate control, RoadSmart pack, 5 USB charging ports plus wireless charging pad, tinted rear windows, in-car internet**, all-active suspension, 7 speed DCT transmission, active cooling flaps, X button plus XTune settings, electronic active limited slip differential

Prices and statistics have now also been updated on the original post for this car.

Also on display is a concept of the upcoming Erin Visto.

Production of the 4th generation of this supermini ended this year, and its replacement is expected sometime in the next 6 months. Officials from Erin said that while this is a pre-production concept, the final version will not be too dissimilar.

No statistics for the car have been released, but we can expect it to have a range of 1.0l to 1.4l engines, average around 50 mpg and cost between £11k and £16k.

This concludes Erin’s display at the Paris Motor Show 2016. Questions, queries, comments and complaints are all welcome!
