DISCLAIMER- This is my first time hosting a proper Automation challenge, so if you think any part of the rules are absolutely wack, let me know. If the entire brief is terrible, I have no problem with writing an entirely new one.
Miami, 2004
Rapper King Scythe has just found breakthrough success from his debut album Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, and is now going to celebrate by buying loads of drugs and a brand new supercar. The supercar in question needs to be extremely flashy to let everyone know he has made it to the top. (at least until he loses all relevance.)

PRIORITIES
Style- If Scythe wants everyone to know he’s rich, his ride must obviously look the part as well.
Sportiness- The car needs to be well capable of illegal and dangerous high speed driving.
Performance Stats (0-60, Top Speed, etc)- Everyone knows that numbers are a major flex factor, including Scythe.
Prestige- NUMBERS NUMBERS NUMBERS NUMBERS NUMBERS
Comfort- Scythe has enough money to daily his supercar, so he wants to do so in comfort.
Drivability- Scythe wants a car that can handle being driven by a maniac like him. He is capable of driving a manual in case you are wondering.
Economy- Supercars aren’t known for great economy, but Scythe would hate to be constantly flashed by the papparazi at gas stations.
Value- Even though he has plently of money, Scythe still wants decent value per dollar out of his purchase.
Safety- It would be terrible for a new star to die out so young.
Reliability- The car must last until it gets replaced and starts catching dust in a garage.
NOTES
- Interiors are not required, nor will they be judged.
- The round will obviously be ran on 4.2, and I will laugh at you hysterically if the car is not from the correct version.
- Try and keep things realistic, though I can understand if it is a struggle with the theme of this round
- Using a convertible body will give a 10% comfort increase to make up for the stat loss.
SUBMISSIONS
- Submissions open August 29 12 AM EST, then close September 5 11:59 PM EST, provided the huge update doesn’t break everything.
- Unless the updates drops in the middle of the challenge, there will be no resubmissions.
humble request
Dear @AMuteCrypt , we humbly request as a community that you increase/remove the word limit so we can make people feel bad about losing in more detail. I won’t write an entire essay or anything, neither am I capable of. A 140 character limit would just force me to act like I’m simplifying my sentences for children or something.
Thank you,
LS Swapped Skill Issue and the community
Changelog
- Added convertible bonus of 10% comfort
- clarified that the fuel must be unleaded since it is definitely not obvious and so many people would think there would be no consequence for using leaded fuel
