Just for clarification, is that right, because it works out to 16.6L/100Km, or 14MpG (US)… which is close to mid-90’s V8 economy.

Does ‘no 4x4’ include AWD?

I think race headers for normally aspirated engines should also be prohibited - they have a “No Mass Production” flag. By extension, any other parts listed as “No Mass Production” in 2019 (such as hand-made interiors) ought to be banned altogether. But why is there no price limit, nor even a markup?

Hey Guys,

Here’s my entry - the Me-gone RS Wagon.

It’s running north of … 900bhp and yes it 100% meets the fuel economy requirements!

Laps the Intersection course in less than 2 minutes.

AWD is allow, is different from 4x4

I don’t like to made a much restrictive challenge, I think it will be boring and, for me, is better to see what good cars people can make with the ET and PU limits, where the best “engineers” did better. My only problem is the power of the cars, I really want to balance this without limit them. Still this challenge have a “Realism” score for the participants but @Pugehenis made a 900bhp 5 cilinders, it’s totally unreal a manufacturer sell a road legal wagon with this configuration.

If I ran a car company… I would totally sell a 900bhp estate…

Hey guys, passing to remember that the challenge deadline is after tomorrow. No one car will be accepted after february 16 at 00:00 brasilia time.

Entries close guys, thanks for all the 9 cars who will participate in our competition. Video will be made soon and launch in my channel and will be a little bit different from the first impressions of the 1000cc Cup, hope you like it.

I’m curious. Did anyone else use an old body style? Or did everyone else use the newer bodies?
