1975 Phénix Helios

The little sport car that could! Imported from France, this small fireball has a bit over 100 hp, can get to 60 in under 7.5 seconds, and drives like a charm! You do not need displacement when you have a performance 1.4L boxer engine. With a premium sport interior, it is surprisingly comfortable for such a small 2-seater.

Enjoy performance in a small package and get an Helios today!

Just asking here, but is the price limit for the materials cost or the approximate cost?

Should be approximate cost, found in the stats screen. At least I’m pretty sure, I’m away from the game right now and have a terrible memory lol

Do you realize that text is almost unreadable lmao

Tip: Similar colors on top of eachother usually are difficult to read.
You can use the tool below to check whether it passes standards.

Little comparison to show the headlight cover mechanism, when you turn them on, it slides up, revealing the two rectangular sealed beams


Also more pictures of the car, still with that vintage vibe but in color

Turból S-II 2500S


Turból’s S series was introduced in 1968, a fastback 2+2 sports car aimed at both American and European markets. Aggressive, long and low coke-bottle styling housed unibody construction and fully independent suspension. Engine options all came from the European side of Turbol operations, a selection of twin-cam I4s and SOHC V8s, all sitting between the front McPherson struts.

1972 saw the S Series’s first major update, now referred to as the S-II. Following in the footsteps of a similarly-sized Japanese sports car that took the US market by storm in late 1969, the '72 update brought a host of changes to cut costs and better fight the low-priced Japanese machine. Lower trims would now feature a 4 speed manual, 4 lug hubs, and rear drum brakes. Rear seats became an optional extra. To reduce production costs, body options were rationalized to just one, the 3 door liftback.

The biggest reduction in cost, however, would appear in the engine bay. The new 4 cylinder powerplant from the new NA market subcompact, the Caplan Squid, replaced the imported twincam I4s, giving the base models a cheaper, higher displacement base engine that also had an easier time with upcoming emissions regulations. As the engine bay was already designed for an OHC V8, the wide all-alu OHV Boxer 4 fit, albeit snugly.

The 2500S would be the highest 4 cylinder spec. This 1975 model produced 114 hp from the 2.5 liter boxer despite emissions equipment. In addition to additional power, the 2500S also included the 5 speed transmission, 5 lug hubs, and 4 wheel discs of the V8 models, providing buyers with the highest performance before the sizeable jump up in price to imported V8 cars.
