With the same chassis derived from Sport Pyrenes GT1, all carbon fiber reinforced construction with adaptive pushrod suspension all round.
While the race car kept the weight into the minimum, the philosophy of being lightweight has been carried over into the spyder version as weighing less than 1000 kgs, resulting the nimble yet very sharp handling.
Powered with the same surging heart unit from the GT1, with modern fuel supply and ignition system, now creating more than 650 horsepowers. Surging from 0-100 km/h within 3.4 seconds with Duchemin Pilote Sport Vittesse’s tires as specially develop by Duchemin not only for the extremely sharp handling, but also to handle the extreme speed of 350 kmh with confidence.
Not just for the pure performance, but also the comfort, all Sport Pyrenes Spyder 3.5 wrapped in the handmade leather, providing the comfort while seated within the same race geometry.
Who need specs when you can just let the pics speak for themselves? Besides, if you did indeed take one of the '95 Super Wedge body sets as a base, then it must have taken a lot of work (through clever use of various body molding fixtures) to make a Veyron-like behemoth out of a normally Lambo-like body - but it was definitely worth it!
Bringing a sports car to a supercar/hypercar fight is a brave move (and one not likely to work given the priorities and premise of this QFC), but when you consider that the '05 Pyrenes is an updated version of the '96 original (right down to retaining the Bean body set), it makes perfect sense lore-wise.
The Bullinger Exigia is the Swiss automaker’s first foray into the realm of the hypercar, featuring a bespoke 5-liter naturally-aspirated V10 (a scaled-up version of an engine developed for Bullinger’s abortive plan to supply F1 engines) mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Inside, the car is luxuriously appointed with fine leather and wood trim, and it is fitted with removable roof panels which stow conveniently in the front trunk, allowing for either closed-cockpit or open-air driving. Only 200 are set to be made and all have already found buyers.
681.6 HP @ 8800 RPM

0-100kph: 3.45 s
claimed top speed of 264 MPH
Don’t underestimate the Prowler with its 6 cylinder engine as it can do a 0-100kmph in 2.12s and a top speed of 425kmph all while being extremely stable at those speeds. With the beautiful painted carbon fibre body, it looks the part as well.
For you to build the Matador while hosting GGPC at the same time is quite an achievement - you did a great job of modernizing the '95 American Dream mod body set (or rather, a variant thereof) for the Noughties. From what few pictures have been released of it, the Matador has a V10 engine if I’m not mistaken - if it did, then it makes perfect sense considering that the mid-2000s was the heyday of the V10 as a whole. And if its engine isn’t a V10, then it’s most likely a V12 instead.
Released for the 50th anniversary of the iconic 1955 Bergmann LS400 Pfeil, the Pfeil GT takes the classic front-engined, long-bonnet GT look and brings it into the modern era. Under the massive bonnet lies a 7.3 litre naturally-aspirated V12 - making 762 horsepower - which has been tuned by DAG, Bergmann’s now in-house performance division. The massive engine is supported by state-of-the art technologies, such as a dual-clutch transmission, adaptive springs and dampers, electronic stability control, among others.
Bradford-Akari seems to have beaten Caterham and McLaren to the punch by eight and 15 years, respectively, with the name of their fastest offering - and I’m sure it’s based on one of the '98 Stradale body sets (albeit the smallest one, with a ~2.34m wheelbase, if I’m not mistaken). Anyway, every time you try to disguise the base body in your work through extensive 3D fixture shaping, the end result is a work of art - especially this one, and it’s a far cry from your early days of hit-and-miss experimentation, which shows how far you’ve come since then! The fact that you finished and sent in your entry so soon after completing CSR159 makes it even sweeter.
